BUENA VISTA BEACH RESORT
EAST CAPE, BAJA SUR

Fish With Me was a mere dream when I first fished the East Cape at this hotel, formerly known as Spa Buena Vista. Nevertheless, this time (May 2011), I did feel the same sense of excitement as I had felt on that very first trip. When the van pulled into the front, and I saw the sculptures of two marlin jumping from the fountain, I felt it. It was like coming home to the site where I caught my very first Marlin thirty-one years ago.
Needless to say, the hotel, which has grown from 9 rooms to the current 60+ rooms, has dramatically changed, as you will see in the photos. Now, it is spectacular in its beauty and comfortable accommodations.

97th Dark of the Moon
October 28-November 2, 2010
We arrived in the East Cape, hoping to equal or even surpass the group’s Tuna count of 136 in last June’s 96th Dark of the Moon event. We were in for some big surprises as we headed out the first morning.

Sun up!
