I don't plan out a route, so much as go down to Baja (or wherever) with a list of places I'd like to check out -- I've got high priority location ideas, and lower priority detours. For months before any trip I spend my free time studying Google Earth satellite images and other resources for interesting spots to investigate. There'll be lots of note scribbling and highlighting in my
Baja Almanac. Later, when I'm south of the border, I kind of make it up as I go along, trying to hit as many of my top spots as possible. Never enough time to see them all.
I'm embarrassed to say I haven't picked up fishing. Seems like it'd be right up my alley with my love of Baja and self-sufficiency. But on the other hand, on my trips I tend to find myself always moving on -- rarely stopping long in one place to linger -- and, perhaps, do some fishing. I did dig up some clams once (on the south end of Bahia Concepcion) and threw them in with pasta.
