Tailhunter Fish Report

One of our bestest amigos, Doug Oclassen from Boulder, Colorado comes at least once or twice a year to La Paz for at least a decade to fish with us. Even when it's flat calm, he gets really seasick, but never ever lets it stop him from fishing hard and often nailing the biggest fish on the beach like this 35-pound class dorado he got on live bait fishing off Las Arenas beach...our largest dorado of the week. He kept this fish, but released all his other fish during the week including big roosterfish.

Russ Ing had to cancel twice before finally making it down to fish with us and within 30 minutes of putting his line into the water on his first day, nailed this choice wahoo fishing with our Tailhunter Las Arenas fleet.

It's June and we still have such a crazy mix of fish because conditions are cooler than normal as shown by the dorado and barred pargo here. One is an inshore rock fish. The other is a bluewater migratory pelagic species!

ANGLERS WORK HARD FOR THEIR FISH THIS WEEK AS WIND CONTINUES TO PESTER LOCAL WATERS!

La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of June 6-13, 2010

A sporadic scratchy week of fishing down here.  It’s like we can’t get summer kick-started!  Every time it starts to get warm, the winds come up again and cool things down and stir up the waters and the bait.  In fact, it’s blown up some really green water down deep that’s turned the surface water off-color.  It’s amazing but a day after the winds stop, it changes again and the fish come to eat.  Then, the winds come up and the fish are all over, but just don’t want to eat.  Don’t get me wrong. It’s beautiful to be in La Paz right now…not too hot.  Not too cold.  Great vacation weather.  It’s just that out on the water the winds make it bumpy and it’s not the best deal for fishing.  

Still, we got a few nice fish here and there.  For our La Paz fleet, the dorado continue to be the main target, but, depending on conditions, the boats slam the fish or struggle through a picky bite.  One day differs from the next.  Most of the fish have been coming in the channel between the peninsula and Cerralvo Island around Punta Coyote and Las Cruces.  Live bait works best as well as strips of fresh bonito for the larger fish, but what we’d really like to see are patches of sargasso weed which are great fish attractants.  The problem is that when the winds blow, it blows all the weed patched apart.  When it all clumps up, it not only offers great protection to bait fish which get the dorado going, but the flying fish also lay their eggs in them and dorado love flying fish and the young.  

We did finally get a few billfish at the end of the week that we’ll have to keep an eye on. We hooked some sailfish and marlin that were all released and one tuna as well that came out’ve the blue and even one yellowtail…go figure.  But no trends to speak of quite yet.  We’ll keep you posted.  

For our Las Arenas fleet, we’ve finally moved all the boats over from Bahia de Los Muertos to the beach by the lighthouse.  Again, because of the winds, most of the fishing has been around the island or inshore for roosterfish between 10 and 40 pounds; pompano, jack  crevalle, porgy and lots of bonito.  Over the rocks and reefs, the cooler waters are still keeping the big pargo close to shore with most big ones being lost in the rocks.  There have been some dorado taken and some marlin here and there, but most still don’t want to eat.  

That’s our story!
