On this particular day, we set out with our sights on Bluefin Tuna, but as any angler knows, having a backup plan is key! So, worst-case scenario, we'll be honing our inshore fishing skills aboard the 7 Seas with the seasoned Captain Octavio and his son, deckhand Roberto, alongside Captain Felipe and me.
May in Ensenada means warming waters and a bounty of diverse species ready to strike your jig. We cover the most effective techniques, including Slow Pitch Jigging (SPJ) for its enticing lure action, and Light to Medium Vertical Jigging for those aggressive feeders. Learn when casting metal lures or even using soft plastics on jig heads can make all the difference.
What You'll Catch:
Discover the thrilling variety of fish you can target inshore with jigs during May:
Yellowtail Amberjack: A top prize for their fighting spirit!
Calico Bass: Aggressive and fun around kelp beds.
Sand Bass & Spotted Bay Bass: Perfect for smaller jigs over sandy bottoms.
Pacific Barracuda & Bonito: Fast-paced action near bait schools.
White Seabass: While tricky, they can be found inshore this time of year.
Halibut: Try bouncing jigs along the bottom for these flatfish.
Rockfish & Lingcod: Find them in rocky areas and around Todos Santos Island.
