Product Review
Over the past few years, some of the Baja books that have been produced are more fluff than stuff designed to occupy a corner of your coffee table to impress your friends. Few are serious how-to books that require a place on the seat next to you on your Baja trips. The Angler's Guide to Trailer-Boating Baja is a book full of valuable information that will soon be worn and dog-eared from use. --Gary Graham, owner of Baja on the Fly outfitting service, in Western Outdoor News
Take one look at The Angler s Guide to Trailer-Boating Baja, and you ll see that it s a must-have for any small boater heading that direction first as a trip-planning tool and than as an on-the-road companion. --Capt. Pat Rains, author of Mexico Boating Guide, in The Log
Thomas plays down his fishing acumen but don't be fooled. The where-to and how-to info are golden, a solid foundation for anglers just getting their Baja bearings With gear lists, local contacts, copious photos and area maps and all manner of helpful advice on navigating and getting the most out of Baja's incredible landscapes and seascapes, this is one indispensable sourcebook. --Paul Lebowitz, KayakFishingZone.com

The waters surrounding the Baja peninsula's 2,000+ miles of coastline offer some of the best and most varied fishing on the planet. But unlike most of the world's top saltwater destinations, Baja is accessible to do-it-yourselfers with a trailerable boat and a sense of adventure.
Make no mistake, trailer-boating Baja is truly an adventure it's slightly risky, it never goes quite according to plan, and it requires a good bit of self-reliance. But for some people, the freedom of fishing aboard their own boats and the thrill of exploration are more than worth the challenge.
If you're one of those people whether you've been trailering to Baja for 30 years and just want the straight dope on a new launch spot or two, or whether you're planning that intimidating first trip south and looking for authoritative information about paperwork, driving conditions, and logistics this book is for you.
It includes not just photos and descriptions of launches, but everything you need to know to plan a trailer-boat adventure anywhere in Baja when to go, where to stay, and what to pack, plus detailed driving directions and times, availability of fuel, ice and supplies, washdown facilities, tide and weather resources, navigation notes, basic where-to, how-to fishing advice, and complete contact information.
Much of this same information also happens to be extremely valuable for anglers who drive to Baja and charter local boats. Wonder when the fishing peaks at BahÃa Asunción? Need a place to stay in Puerto López Mateos? Want straight answers about insurance immigration paperwork? It's all here
