While it wasn't the best week for fishing, especially early when weather was a factor, it wasn't too bad either once the weather settled. Fortunately, early in the week we didn't have alot of anglers. However, good friends like Mark Martis did get into some nice sierra and good-grade dorado like this one fishing with our Tailhunter Las Arenas fleet out've Muertos Bay.
We got rain and strong winds early in the week that actually caused minor flooding in town but once things settled down and for anyone still willing to get out in the breeze, dorado are still out there. Coral Ogden hangs onto a good bull dorado she caught north of La Paz near the island on a strip of bonito.
VIDEO CLIP OF THE WEEK
Alot of folks have asked to see some of the footage from the Western Outdoor News Tuna Jackpot from last week that both Jill and I worked at. It’s finally been edited and posted on youtube. Check out Jill doing interviews and if you look real closely at the shots around the weigh-scale, I’m the guy in my fishing straw hat with the tank-top! It was another fun time:
EARLY WEEK RAIN AND STRONG WINDS TURN UP THE WATERS WHILE FISH WAIT!
La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Nov. 13-20, 2011
Earlier in the week it was a good thing we didn’t have any fishermen out. Not only was it extremely windy, but we got hit with several brief but really strong rain storms. One was so strong it tore the docks completely out of their pilings at one place in La Paz. They weren’t long, but really violent rains that we call “toritos” (little bulls) that are really unusual for this time of year. But, like I said, glad we didn’t have fishermen out and it was nice to sit indoors and watch the weather pass through. Even after the rains, the water was really turned over and muddy as well so it took a day or two to settle down.
However, once it did, we found dorado outside at the buoys just out of Bahia de Los Muertos with some nice fish around 15-20 pounds. One later-season sailfish and marlin were also hooked. Some private boats found quite a few schools of dorado outside at the 88 (but waters were rough) and there were reports of breezing tuna (moving too fast) at the south end of Cerralvo Island.
North of La Paz, there are still some spots east of Espiritu Santo Island kicking out sporadic dorado as well with some nicer bulls to 30 pounds.
Mostly, however, with the winds and erratic weather changing the scenery, the inshore fishing is where most of the focus has been. Sierra are getting thicker off the beaches and reefs and we’re seeing more pargo and cabrilla action as well as some scattered schools of smaller roosters. With the sierra, you could pick-pick-pick through the day and get a handful or if you hit the right spot, you could get several dozen hook ups. They can get really thick and great fun on lighter tackle. Also, excellent eating. Don’t let anyone fool you with the name “sierra mackeral.” These taste nothing like mackeral! On the contrary, sierra make some of the best ceviche and cooked up, the silky delicate meat is like mild wahoo!
THANK YOU!!!!
Just wanted to wish everyone a safe, happy and peaceful Thanksgiving week with each other and your families. Doing what we do, so many great folks pass through our lives and we’re blessed and grateful to be able to call so many of you our friends and extended family and Tailhunter “tribal members!” You make it all fun and worthwhile. God bless you all!
Enjoy your week! That’s our story.
Jonathan and Jill
