Fun for the whole family regardless of age or fishing skills.  The Sea of Cortez presents ideal conditions for fish to follow and migrate year after year.  During December, with cooler water, there is an abundant amount of fish out there a short 10 miles off shore.  A variety of fish are attracted to this specific area known as Rocky Point, Sonora, Mex.  Some of those reasons are  good weather, calm, protected seas and many crevices (reefs) just a short distance off shore.  And lets don't forget sunny, warm days.  Fish like Cochi, Calico and Rock Bass, to name a few, are real fighters making them fun to catch.  A day of fishing is a great way to spend the holidays.
