Jilly Roldan of Tailihunters! We finally were able to get her out and she still has game! She and Captain Pancho hooked up for this sweet-colored bull dorado she took on 30-pound test and her new “Chix Stix” custom-wrapped gift from B&B Custom fishing rods in Portland. Dorado were surprisingly biting great for this time of year!
Gary Howarth and Dan Neale from La Verne CA were on their first fishing trip to La Paz and enjoyed some great fishing. “We started with sierra and caught and released so many we had to stop!” said Gary. “Then we went just a little bit further out and we hit one buoy and got into double and triple hookups. Again we released so many fish. Great day!” They were fishing just outside of Muertos Bay.
Raul Chollet has the “bug” after trying fishing for the first time with us. He got 5 dorado, 2 sierra and this great-eating African pompano (palometa) fishing in the Las Arenas area not far from shore.
He’s posing with a funny face just for the camera! But our amigo, Raul Ramirez, shows off one of the sierra he caught which are biting great right now. He also got dorado as well and brought his mom and son to the Tailhunter Restaurant to have us cook it up! Raul owns the popular “Sinatra” karaoke bar in La Paz as well as the “Casa de Villa” bar on the malecon.
I almost hate to post Roger Thompson’s photo here! Great wahoo shot. Roger found the high spot at the south end of Cerralvo Island and got a rack of these nice ‘hoo while trolling deep divers. Roger lives right there across from the island at La Ventana, so he’s not only an outstanding fisherman, but can see when it’s good to go out. If its too windy, he grabs his windsurfer. If it’s calm, he goes fishing! He’s living the dream! The problem with going to the island is that with north winds, it’s often tough to get out there this time of year. Roger can pick and choose the best times plus has his own boat or can grab a local pangero. But nonetheless, a great catch and good to know the elusive wahoo are there!
Dos amigos! Raul Ramirez y Raul Chollet were pretty excited about their dorado catch. It’s always good when first timers get into fish!
DORADO SIERRA AND A VARIETY OF SPECIES PUT ON A NICE SHOW FOR LATE SEASON!
La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Nov. 11-18, 2012
Really a surprisingly excellent week of fishing. Now that the winds have started coming mostly from the north, it’s a little rough to fish out’ve La Paz so all our fishing has been with our Tailhunter Las Arenas Fleet pushing out’ve Bahia de Los Muertos.
I thought things would have turned since things are cooler but we had some really fun fishing. In fact, some of the best dorado fishing in weeks has been going on with fish between the shore and inner buys just outside of Muertos, our anglers have been taking limits of dorado up to 30 pounds with most a fun 10-15 pound side, especially fun on light tackle! Some of the fish have literally been in shallow water just yards from the shore or rocks in areas where the anglers were really fishing for other species!
The best thing about the fishing right now, in fact, has been the plethora of other types fo fish we’re hooking. It almost reminds me of spring-time fishing with breezy conditions and cooler temperatures and as many as 10 different species a day this past week!
In addition to the dorado, the sierra have been going great. Some pangas hit early limits of all the sierra they need then go run for dorado or other species such as pompano, jack crevalle (nice school just ouside the bay), roosterfish, bonito, pargo, and cabrilla. We’re even still hooking some billfish with striped marlin and smaller sailfish close to shore as well. Plus, yes…there’s even a wahoo or too if you can get over to the island in the wind. All-in-all, a good week! Not sure how much longer it will last, but we had a great time this past few days!
That’s our story!
