Yes! Even tho' it's a tad chilly out there and it's December, we got into dorado again as some of the better conditions of the month came out and the winds laid down allowing us to get some blue-water species like Tim Zimmer's Dorad held by Captain Jorge. The "blue water" fish was only caught about 1/4 mile off shore. Don't have to go far!
It's a completely 180 degree catch! Sierra are thick and normally caught in winter when waters are cold. Dorado are warm water fish that we usually catch in the summer and fall! But both species are hitting this past week with our pangas out've Bahia de Los Muertos with our amiga, Verda Boyd, just retired as a sherrif's officer enjoying her new "permanent vacation status!" Boats were averaging 1-4 dorado per outing and limits of sierra.
BEST CONDITIONS IN AWHILE ALLOW US TO CHASE SOME DORADO WHILE STILL WORKING INSHORE!
La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 4-11, 2011
It’s hard to keep calling these wacky weather weeks. It is what it is. It’s winter now. Some days are incredibly windy. They are the kinds of days you just should not be out there. The next day it’s flat and sunny. The next day it’s cloudy. Winds can shift direction half-a-dozen times in a day.
Fortunately, this past week were one of the calmest weeks of the last month or so. The week started out like a wind-tunnel, but just as suddenly, it shut off and we had a number of cloudy, but just slightly breezy days that allowed us to work outside a bit for some species we normally wouldn’t be getting right now in winter.
There aren’t that many fishermen in town right now. It’s that lull between American holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas. La Paz is getting in to “Christmas mode” with decorations and evidence of the approaching holidays. We’re seeing more trees and lights and other Santa paraphanelia although, in truth, since there’s no Thanksgiving here in Mexico as it’s an American holiday, Christmas decorations started popping up right after Halloween.
Anyway, as far as fishing, on the calm days, like I said, there’s some nice species out there. We continue to find flurries of dorado around both Espiritu Island and Cerralvo Island and some breezing tuna were also encountered in the channel out to Cerralvo. Fish were football 10-20 pounders but moving fast and just a few were caught. Dorado can still be up to 30 pounds, but most are 10 pounders. Roosterfish, sierra and pargo can be found inshore in most places where there’s some kind of underwater structure. The two most prominent species are the sierra where you can load up your fish box pretty fast if you hit the school just right. And then the surprise dorado that are running about 5-15 pounds are producing about 1-4 per day.
We’ll keep you posted! Hope the holidays are treating you right!
That’s our story!
