Just got back last week with my wife and son. Met up with some friends down there. First day I arrived it was windy so it turned into a drinking day. Wind followed through the weekend with it letting up a little on Sunday. For other reasons we couldnt get out Sunday and set out Monday. Water was 64* and viz about 15-20. We did a great job on the pargo and cabrilla. Big triggers around too that we made into ceviche on the boat. I wish we could have got to dive more but thats the way it goes sometimes. Maybe Ill try to get back down there in Sept. Big cabrilla went 15 gutted and bled. She was full of eggs.
Got some baja in my life

Nice! way to go even if you did not get to dive as much as you would have liked.
-
Beautiful kill bag!!
-
Nice catch, is that A Wong hybrid in the first gun with fish shot?
-
Nice, Baja is still a great place to dive. Be sure to abide by the fishing limits and size for catches. Those sardineras use to grow very big.

Nice catch !

It is a Wong hybrid. I know, overkill for the reef but we were told one gun per person on the boat so I had to choose between that and my 90cm. Better to be over gunned than under right? All divers were were under the limits. I can't wait to go back. Thanks for the comments.

limit for spearfishing in baja is 5 fish per day(hook and line is 10) , dodos count as 2.5 fish (i know you dont have any but just so you know)

Thanks Phil. I just messaged our guide and told him the limits for the future.

My guide called CONAPESCA and they told him the regs changed to 10 but the site still shows 5. I emailed them to confirm but no answer.
-
that would be cool ,let me know what they say
-
I can´t find (yet) a change or modification to the sportfishing law NOM-017 PESC-1994. after publised in the DON (diario oficial de la nación).
CONAPESCA regulations were up dated on March 04 2013. Still 5 pieces per day in spearfishing mode.
If someone get confirmation of any change please let know.
-
I never got an email back from them.

Let me check again with the local inspector, cause the main office as you said do not answer.:(
