BIG AMBERJACK 50-100 POUNDERS PLUS YELLOWTAIL and BARRED PARGO SHOWCASE the WEEK
La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for week of May 8-15, 2011
This was week was another wacky week and another week that I appreciated that we have two full-time fleets working. For whatever reason…dirty water…too much bait in the water…bad luck…bad current…our LasArenas fishing continues to be scratchy at best. There’s some good action to be had, no doubt. If you fished this past week with my Las Arenas fleet, you got into cabrilla, some decent pargo, roosterfish, lots of bonito, jack crevalle and snapper. Good action, and fun, but just not alot to get excited about to be honest. That’s the way fishing is. By the time you are reading this, it might have changed and gone off the charts! Sort of “minor league” fishing. Get bent. Get a little sun. Catch a few fish for dinner.
Normally, this time of year, the better fishing is with our Las Arenas fleet, but not so for the past two or three weeks.
If you wanted QUALITY..that’s why I’m glad we have both fleets. We were able to switch many of our clients over to fish with our La Paz fleet. And that’s where you fished if you wanted to put some fat fish in the boat and fat fish in your ice chest.
In an unusual late-season bite 20-40 pound yellowtail again got active with fish eating sardines, larger baits like caballitos and yo-yo iron in scrambled egg and blue/white patterns. (“You just gotta wind that reel handle as fast as you can! If you slow down or your arm ain’t hurting you won’t get bit!” said one of our anglers. ) Also, there were alot of spots of smaller 12-inch squid floating on which the yellowtail were foaming and crashing so we were netting the squid for additional bait. Sending one down with a sliding egg-sinker would almost guarantee a bite. For many of our anglers this week they got their first or largest yellowtail ever. Some of our captains told us of larger fish up to 50 pounds breaking off as these are really horses when hooked!
As well, we continued to get some big amberjack, pargo and cabrilla as well. Some of the amberjack this week…no kidding…40, 50, 80 and 100 pound beasts! Some of the slabs of fillets were like hamhocks! Plus, we lots some fish that were larger. This could all switch around really fast again, but again, that’s why we have the two fleets going full -time to make these adjustments as needed!
We’ve got more sargasso weeds building all the time so if temperatures keep warming I would be surprised if we didn’t start seeing some dorado real soon!
FLASH – Just as I went to post this up, we have reports of several big 50-70 pound tuna caught by our Las Arenas fishing fleet! Will keep you posted!
That’s our story!
