The quiet before the holidays? There just weren't that many fishermen out or much of anyone out the week before Christmas. Just as well...it was darned cold and windy earlier in the week.
CRAZY COLD WEATHER FRONT HITS WITH WINDS EARLY IN THE WEEK!
La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of December 19-26, 2011
Not much fishing earlier in the week when both winds and low temperatures contributed to less than ideal fishing conditions. Night time temperatures dropped unbelievably into the frosty 40’s and daytime temperatures barely above 60 some days. Add blustery wind and it was better for us to tell just some of our fishing clients who had extra days to just hang out in town and wait until things got better. For most, it turned out to be a better move. As the week went on, it settled a bit although remained chilly.
One thing folks forget is that when it’s really windy, it’s not just tough fishing, but also can be very difficult to get live bait which compound efforts. So, later in the week when things calmed down a bit we were able to get some sardines and using both sardines and slow trolling smaller crank baits and shiny spoons, we got into some nice sierra up to about 5 pounds inshore both off Bahia de Los Muertos as well as in La Paz Bay. As well, some decent cabrilla helped top off the fish boxes plus a few stray dorado were caught up to about 10 pounds.
There were report by some of the commercial guys of hooking some tuna near Cerralvo Island, but when we went out to confirm, nothing showed up as rough off-color waters were left over from the winds. We also got reports of some big squid that were caught as well. We’ll keep an eye out!
That’s our story!
