Compared to what is happening throughout the U.S., the relatively warm weather reinforces why many of us choose Baja. The only white stuff around here is the froth on the cold Cerveza and margaritas not snow on the ground.

Sailfish the last week of the year along with dorado. Sure there is a little wind here and there.

Some mornings the tin boats barely catch a limit of sierra before they can be seen scurrying back to shore as the wind picks up.

Everyone's betting that the first flat day will yield plenty of first of the year catches.
