With waters showing a bit of warmth this weekend, jacks like roosterfish, jack crevalle and this African pompano are making more frequent forrays up into the shallow beaches. Great fish on flyrod or light tackle.
It's a little early to be seeing roosterfish this size normally, this time of year, but you just never know with these migratory fish. Captain Adolfo shows off a nice 20 pounder taken near Punta Arenas...famous as the "roosterfish capital of the world!"
Whale watching is in full swing over at Bahia Magdalena right now. Ask us about a great day-tour for the family. Thanks to bajatravelvacations.com for the photo.
Thanks and gracias to all our amigos who visited us this week at the Northwest Sportsmens Expo in Portland this past week. It was great to see so many of you including our buddy Bob Solee who's wife Becky always makes him bring is fresh chocolate chip cookies and milk to the booth...to keep up our strength. Jill and I will be making our next stop on the 2011 Tailhunter Tour at Cardinal Football Stadium in Phoenix 24-27 of February. We'll have our booth right there on the football field indoors!
It's not the biggest fish, but it's just a pretty early morning photo taken by Kate James who came all the way from snowy Boston this week and was happy as punch just to be out of the ice and cold so she took this photos of a cabrilla...first catch of the day!
WARMER TEMPERATURES RETURN…SORT OF…and BRING BACK A BITE!
La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 6-13, 2011
The week started off with a continuation of that cold snap from last week when temps dropped into the high 30’s and La Paz was more like Seattle than Baja, Mexico. During that time, fish were locked down and not-responsive except for a few small cabrilla here and there. However, things bounced back and the pendulum swung the other way and soon we were registering highs in the upper 80’s incredibly. And just like that, we started to get fish.
Nothing very spectacular, but there were some exciting bites on small fire-cracker yellowtail in the 8-12 pounds and a few in the 25-30 pound class. In addition to the yellows, we continued to get good numbers of cabrilla including one that went 18 pounds plus some pargo, sierra and bonito so all-in-all not so bad fishing. A few nicer roosterfish too up along the beach. Not all of them were in the “chew” mode, but a few were hooked and seeing them around is very enouraging for the next few weeks.
WHALE WATCHING IN FULL SWING!
Whales at Magdalena Bay are in full swing right now and we’re offering daily trips out there for whale-watching tours which will usually last in through March.
CABIN FEVER CLASSIC
We still have spots left for our Cabin Fever Classic set for April 9-13 with us in La Paz. For more details e-mail us at riplipboy@tailhunter-international.com
