Tailhunter Fish Report

No matter what time of year, it's a good day when we can get dorado like this beauty taken by Ed Runyon. He and his 10-year-old, son Blake were fishing with our Captain Archangel. There's some great video Ed sent us. Check it out below.

What a great combination. A honeymoon and catching dorado for Jessica Henry from Alaska. Dorado are still biting, but it's getting cooler and windier these days.

Captain Jorge of our Tailhunter Las Arenas Fleet poses with Ryan Orr and Ben Darling after a day of fishing out've Muertos Bay. Both anglers are from Canada. Almost all of our fishing right now is out've Muertos Bay to protect from the northern winds that are becoming more predominant.

Darren Henry gets up-close-and-intimate with a bull dorado he caught fishing off Punta Perrico with live bait.

It's been an incredible year for swimming with the whalesharks in the bay! I don't think I've ever seen so many in the bay for a good part of the year or we've had so many days when they were just "hanging out!" It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience to get in the water with these gentle giants that can reach 40 or more feet long and are true sharks, but are plankton eaters. That's Don Busse snorkeling in about 10 feet of water in this photo. La Concha Beach Resort is in the background. There's some cool video later on in the fishing report below.

Sometimes, it's not just about catching a fish. Sometimes it's a cold drink in one hand and a rod in the other on an empty warm ocean! Town isn't very busy right now but more snowbirds are in town escaping colder areas to enjoy some sunshine and get in some beach or watertime. Great time to visit between the holidays.

QUIET TIME BETWEEN THE HOLIDAYS BRINGS WARM SUNSHINE AND DORADO!

La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Nov. 28 to Dec. 5, 2010

It’s been a quiet week around here after two massive weeks that included the Baja 1000, an Independence weekend celebration and Thanksgiving.  I think town is just re-charging and this is that lull before the holiday crowds and more snow-birds descend.  It was like that for fishing too.  Not many anglers in town.  Not much of anyone in town really!  It’s a great time to be here.  You have everything all to yourself.

It was extremely windy earlier in the week.  It wasn’t unfishable, but not exactly comfortable.  In fact, I told clients who had extra empty days to just hang out around the pool or go shopping and enjoy the sunshine and fish later in the week when winds calmed down.  As I said, it wasn’t unfishable, but why get bounced around if you don’t have to?

Anyway, much more sierra in the counts which shows that waters are surely cooling.  The fish are close and in shallows so you can get into some really nice schools and have yourself a blast.  But, as far as bluewater species, there are still fingers of warm water here and there holding dorado and an occasional marlin or wahoo.  I’m hoping they linger for a bit.  Not sure how far the waters will cool or how fast.  But, for now, no one complains about a nice dorado on the end of their lines with fish up to 20 pounds.

On days when it’s too bumpy to be out, the inshore fishing is a great fallback.  In addition to the sierra, there’s smaller roosterfish, plus pargo, cabrilla, snapper and jack crevalle.  Maybe we’ll start getting some yellowtail and amberjack if the waters go colder.

WEEKLY VIDEO CLIPS

Ed Runyon was good enough to take some great video clips this week.  This first one is his son, Blake…10 years old battling his first dorado.  You can see they’re just inside of Bahia de Los Muertos.  Thanks Ed and congrats to Blake!

Ed also took this other great clip of his family out to swim with the whalesharks in La Paz Bay.  Check out the size of this “baby” whaleshark…ONLY 18 feet long and watch the underwater footage!

That’s our story!  Have a great week everyone!
