Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Baja fishing report. We’ve got classic early-summer conditions up and down the peninsula. Light morning breeze, building northwest wind in the afternoons on both coasts. Air temps running mid‑70s to mid‑80s along the Pacific side, low 80s to low 90s in the Sea of Cortez. Skies mostly clear to partly cloudy, with the usual afternoon chop once that wind gets going. Tidewise, along the Pacific – Ensenada down through Todos Santos – we’re seeing moderate morning highs followed by a good outgoing during late morning and a pushing flood again toward sunset. Over in the Cortez – La Paz to Cabo Pulmo and up toward Loreto – the swing is milder but still enough current to stack bait on points and humps. Plan your inshore runs around that first couple hours of incoming and the last of the outgoing. Sunrise is coming early, roughly just after 6 a.m. local across most of Baja, with sunset a bit after 8 p.m. That gives you long low‑light windows – prime time for surface iron and poppers before the sun gets high and the water glasses off. Fish activity has been solid. Offshore from Cabo and the East Cape, boats are reporting good numbers of school‑size yellowfin tuna mixed with skipjack and the occasional dorado on temp breaks and under birds. Inshore, roosterfish have been cruising the beaches, especially where there’s small mullet and ballyhoo tight to the sand. Sierra are thinning but still around early, and there are plenty of snapper and cabrilla on rocky structure and reefs. Counts coming in from local captains and landings: most offshore boats are hanging 3–10 yellowfin per day when they find the right school, with a couple of bigger models in the mix. Dorado are more scattered but showing enough to keep things interesting – figure one or two per boat on an average run when you hit floating debris or weed lines. Inshore pangas working the right beaches have been seeing several shots at decent roosters per morning, with a few trophy fish released. Bottom guys are loading coolers with mixed pargo, triggerfish, and leopard grouper when the current lets them stay on the spot. Best lures right now: offshore, small to medium‑size tuna feathers in dark/bright combos, cedar plugs, and diving hardbaits in purple/black or blue/white. Keep a mid‑size popper and a 60–80 gram surface iron rigged for when tuna or dorado push bait to the top. Inshore, it’s hard to beat long‑casting stickbaits, chrome spoons, and small surface irons in mint, blue/white, or scrambled egg. Roosters are eating big, noisy poppers and live mullet; just remember, they’re more about the chase than the color. For the rocks, 1–3 ounce bucktail jigs tipped with strip bait, soft plastics on heavy jig heads, and stout live‑bait setups are doing work. Best bait: live sardina and mullet are gold if you can get them. Pilchards slow‑trolled or fly‑lined are producing tuna, dorado, and inshore gamefish. For the bottom, squid strips, cut mackerel, and chunk bait are all putting meat in the box when you find structure on your sounder. A couple of hot spots to keep on your radar: 1. The East Cape ridge lines and offshore banks – Gordo, Iman, and the nearby humps – are holding tuna, with dorado drifting along current edges and under floating structure. Work the temp breaks and bird schools and be ready to move until you see life. 2. The beaches between La Ribera and Cabo Pulmo are alive with roosters and jacks. Walk‑and‑cast at first light with poppers or flies, or slow‑troll live bait just outside the breakers and watch for that comb to rise. On the Pacific side, the stretch from Todos Santos down toward the Golden Gate and Jaime Banks continues to show life when the current and wind line up, with mixed tuna and the chance at early‑season billfish. That’s your Baja beat from Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next report.
