Tailhunter Fish Report

Nice cabrilla like this one Dave's holding just off Punta Perrico are prime time right now and great eating.

Schools of jack crevalle have started moving into the shallow beach areas of Las Arenas.

DORADO SHOW UP AGAIN TO EVERYONE’S SURPRISE BUT INSHORE SPECIES STILL MAIN EVENT!

La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of January 9-16, 2011

It was a cool and windy week, but the fish we caught indicate that we still have some warm waters around.  In addition to pargo, sierra and cabrilla…normally cool water fish, we also got into a few little jags of dorado.  Nothing large with fish in the 8-15 pound class but fun fish and a nice surprise just-the-same.  All our fishing is mostly out of Muertos Bay near Las Arenas using live sardines.

We had some really nice big schools of jack crevalle move up into the sandy beaches near Las Arenas a few days.  These schools can be anywhere from a dozen to several hundred fish and they are great to get into whether 10 pounders or 30 pounders, these fish can really tear it up.  There’s a reason the Mexican name for them is “toro” (Bull).  They’ll eat live bait, lures, surface poppers…they’re not picky.  Fantastic on light tackle or on the flyrod.  Unfortunately, they’re not really good to eat unlike their cousins, the yellowtail and amberjack and pompano, but they all have that slugger attitude when hooked.   Hopefully, with the showing of the jack crevalle, we’ll start seeing more roosterfish as well.

WHALE WATCHING TRIPS TO LOPEZ MATEOS STARTING UP

We start running whale watching trips from La Paz beginning this week over to Lopez Mateos in Magdalena Bay.  From January to March, the grey whales by the hundreds take up residence in the warm, shallow waters of  the bay to mate and give birth.  Really a great life experience for the whole family.  Ask us about setting it up for you.

CABIN FEVER CLASSIC 2011

Our Cabin Fever Classic Event is all set.  This is our 10th year and will be held April 9-13.  This is a fun low-pressure get-together.  Many of our “Tailhunter Tribe” return year-after-year.  We don’t guarantee fish, but we always catch all kinds of things.  One year, we got tons of roosters.  Another year dorado and yellowtail showed up.  Another we got 18 different species of fish.   We never know.  But, it’s always alot of fun folks who just are tired of winter and want to get their toes in the sand and their hands around something colder than a snow shovel!  Here’s the details:
