Tailhunter Fish Report

Not bad for a first time fishing! Redondo Beach resident, Kurt Hoffman, got two nice wahoo fishing with our Tailhunter La Paz fleet north of town. Tragically, he and his buddies were fishing on the same day they had to catch a plane out've town so they had to rush straight off the boats and off to the airport. All the fish had to be given away! Wahoo are still around, especially around Cerralvo Island.

Our good buddy, Mark Martis, has been coming down several times a year to visit us for at least 10 years and has caught a number of big fish during that time. He's here displaying a nice dorado he got this week. Dorado are pretty much 70 percent of our catch right now. A bit surprising given that conditions are cooling and not sure how long the waters will stay warm enough to support keeping the dorado around.

Our Las Arenas fleet, now shoving off of Muertos Bay, is still getting a few tuna here and there. It depends on conditions and the winds which are getting stronger. However, Captain Calamar holds up a nice fatty for the camera. Most of the fish have been 15-25 pounders.

This is just such a great photo underwater taken by our amigo, Tom Aurand, from San Francisco. He was giving scuba diving a try for the first time and took this of a bait ball of sardines from below. Great colors!

It's a long way from New York City to La Paz, but Neal Thomas got in some good fishing in his first visit with some dorado and sailfish fishing with our La Paz fleet.

Our Tailhunter Bar - for those of you who've visited us...we were packed to the gills (no pun intended) to overflowing with close to 400 people standing room only for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito fight on Saturday Nov. 13th. The sidewalk alone had 100 people down there standing shoulder-to-shoulder with folks waiting over 4 hours to get a seat on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Great party night!

DORADO KEEP THINGS LIT WITH WAHOO AND TUNA ADDING SOME SPARKS!

La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Nov. 8-14, 2010

It’s that time of year between the busy fall fishing and the Thanksgiving holidays.  Folks have their agendas geared toward the holidays now so like many places in Baja, it’s a bit quieter here in La Paz right now.  Great time to be in town.  Weather is gettting cooler, but that’s “relative.”  By “cool” I mean it’s in the mid-80’s in the daytime and high 60’s at night.  Just really comfortable and sunny most days but it’s noticeably breezier on the water as we get more north winds and things move towards winter.

Without many folks in town, that also means fewer fishermen, but we’ve had our share of boats out all week.  I hate predicting what folks might be catching this time of year because there are so many variables with the wind, current and water temperatures as we transition towards December.   However, I have to tell you, I’m surprised at the quality of fish!

Despite cooler air temps, water temps are still warm enough to keep the dorado on the chew with boats getting limits or near limits of dorado most days.  Not alot of big bulls, but there’s surely enough action with 10-15 pound fish being the norm and great on light tackle with still enough density of fish where anglers can get into scorching crazy dorado bites and are releasing fish as fast as they can go.  Both our La Paz and Las Arenas fleets have been getting dorado pretty regularly.

As for tuna, I wouldn’t expect tuna to hang out this late normally, but it’s been a banner tuna year and our Las Arenas fleet, now on the beach at Muertos Bay.  However, each day, we’ve hit little jags of 10-25 pound fish near the deeper dropoffs just off the beach near Punta Perrico, S. Cerralvo Island and Punta Arena.  Not very far off the beach at all.

The nice plus is that we’re still getting wahoo as well in various spots around Cerralvo Island and are still getting billfish with several marlin and sailfish hooked and released or busted off this past week.

That’s our story!
