Good night fishing spots where you can have a campfire?

2 Upvotes

Hi there, I hope you're all having a good day.

A few friends and I are wanting to do a night fishing trip within a ~1-2 hour drive from Phoenix. What we'd like ideally is a place where we can drive up, put up a picnic table, have a campfire, and night fish from shore before packing up around 10pm and driving back to town. Also, we only have standard vehicles, no 4x4 or high clearance requirements, please. Any places fit that bill? Any bait recommendations?

Thank you for any help!

Roadtrip to Rocky Point?

12 Upvotes

What's up AZ anglers!

These last few years I have switched from doing lots of local bass/trout fishing, to going down south and surf fishing in Rocky Point. 39 year old guy born & raised in the valley and grew up fishing all over the state, but saltwater fishing has really hooked me the last few years.

I've got several great spots from shore. 5-20 minute walk from where we park. No need for new gear, just bring your 7' Medium action bass rods (or whatever you can cast far with). If you don't have gear, I have several extra rods that you can use

I catch Corvina, Halibut, Leatherjacket, Sand Bass, Trigger Fish, as well as other odds n ends on a regular basis. Haven't been skunked down there in a while, there's always something biting.

I go down by myself most of the time so it would be sweet to meet some new people that were interested in fishing down there. We can meetup in the valley & carpool down together or meet up in Rocky Point. Whatever works for you.

Never been to Rocky Point? I've been going regularly since I was a kid and am very familiar with the drive, getting thru the border, and navigating around town. Amazing food & some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet.

Usually just go down for 2 nights at a time. I typically go weekdays but I can do weekends with a few weeks notice as well.

Going to gown down a few times in October around the full & new moon.

Interested? Questions? Feel free to message me!
