Highlight of the week a swordfish!


Week Ending June 10, 2022 Like the song says, “June is busting out all over” and no place more than in our front yard, the Sea of Cortez. Buena Vista Hotel catches in the past week or so include marlin, wahoo, dorado, roosterfish, and tuna, but the highlight was a swordfish. [See swordfish story below.]…

Week Ending May 21, 2022


As air and water warm up, fishing is getting hot. Air temps are generally in the high 70s to low 80s with a cool afternoon breeze.  As we say in Baja: Perfecto.   Buena Vista Resort skippers are finding tuna, dorado, a few striped marlin jumping on the surface along with pompano, white bonito and wahoo…

March Recap!


First it’s sunny and then it’s not.  First it’s calm, then not so hot!  But the one constant after the unpredictable weather has been the yellowtail fishing!  It has been the best in recent memory.  With water temperature in the mid-60s, yellows have been on a near constant boil despite the afternoon breezes. To the…

Time spent fishing is time well spent!


This report looks like an old phonograph record that gets stuck and keeps repeating itself.  It was an amazing fishing week at Buena Vista Resort with everyone enjoying great weather, lots of wildlife sightings, fish catching and great memories. With air temps in the high 80s to low 90s and water temps in the low…

Gone fishing, catch you later!


There was a hint of fall in the air as once again East Cape fishing was outstanding for Buena Vista boats, crews and anglers.  Water temps were in the mid-80s, a few clouds, a bit of rain and a bit of wind created a perfect mix for a great week fishing.  Tuna, marlin, dorado and…

Keeping it REEL!


With air temps in the mid-90s and water temps in the mid-80s, at times our sea seemed to be too hot for fish to stick around.  Fortunately, we have had a little blessed rain in the area and water temps cooled a bit. We are back on track with tuna, dorado, marlin, and wahoo; while…

A REEL good time


Remember when you asked about fishing and somebody said, “You should have been here yesterday?”  Well, this is “yesterday.” With air temperatures in the low 90s and the water holding steady in the low- to mid-80s, offshore fishing has been phenomenal for billfish with blue marlin, striped marlin and sailfish all on a hot bite. …

Another excellent week!


Marlin, sailfish, dorado (mahi-mahi), tuna, snapper, yellowtail and big roosterfish are what fishing is all about in Baja and last week was the best example.  Last week it was all of them and more. With air temps in the mid-90s and water temps in the low- to mid-80s, fishing couldn’t be any better out of…

A Family Fun Fishing Week


It’s just a guess, but we’re guessing that in a few years the Summer of 2021 will be called the “Good Old Days.”  You’d think it can’t get much better, but every week it seems to improve.  Here’s some proof: Air temperatures peaked each day in the low 90s with water temps in the mid-80s…

Excelent fishing week!!


It seems like once the fish faucet opens, nothing can stop it.  Last week was monumental and it looks equally as good or better in the days ahead.             Air temperatures were in the high 80s and a touch humid, with water in the low 80s, light breezes followed by marlin and margaritas.  There were…
