They have been so few and far between the last two years that their appearance so late in the fishing season has been a great surprise. Our amigo, Mark Martis, from Redondo Beach CA, hefts of a fat wahoo he caught south of Cerralvo Island.
We’ve had so many great folks from Idaho this year! Terry Robinson from Twin Falls put some nice dorado into the panga but also put the hurt on this trophy roosterfish while fishing with our Las Arenas Fleet. The fish was released. Roosterfish have hung around longer than I would have thought.
Our amiga, Donna Thompson, lives with her husband Roger out at La Ventana and has front row seats to keep an eye on conditions in the channel when it can be really windy on the way to Cerralvo Island. She and Roger ran out to the far side of the island and hit the 88 bank and hung some of the better dorado we’ve seen in a few weeks! It helps that Donna knows how to fish very well also!
Fishing with Capt. Adolfo of our Tailhunter Fleet, Karina Vescio from Orange Co. CA, got into a nice day of sierra fishing in her first time fishing with us!
Love this photo although I wish it were clearer. A.J. Rose drove all the way down to La Paz from Denver to fish with us and had a banner day with sierra, dorado and pargo!
Now here’s a story…Graham Overton from Alberta Canada was paddling his kayak just offshore from El Sargento and dragging an old javelin lure that used to be made by the folks who make Rapalas when this big old wahoo bit ! Took him awhile in the kayak, but, as you can see…he got the big skinny to shore! Wow!
Tyler Martis poses with one of the toughest fighting and best eating fish in our waters. It’s a barred pargo also known as a pargo mulatto. Tyler is from Redondo Beach CA and was fishing near Las Arenas. Pargo are feeding in the rocks right now.
Nothing better than watching kids with their fish! On the beach at Bahia de Los Muertos, Sean Rose from Colorado holds up one of his dorado he caught fishing with dad.
SURPRISING VARIETY OF FISH STILL BITING LATE IN SEASON
La Paz- Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Nov. 25 to Dec. 2, 2012
Another really nice week of fishing with nice sunny weather in the high 80’s and although it was breezy, we’re fishing out of Las Arenas/ Bahia de Los Muertos where waters are calmer and fish are closer to shore…and cooperative! (Why go out far when you don’t have to and get wet and beat up?)
Mostly fishing live bait, we’re still getting dorado around the buoys and closer with random fish and smaller schools of 10-15 pounders freelancing around as close as a few yards from shore. As well, using live bait but with wired hooks or with smaller rapala / yo-zuri / mega bait –styled lipped lures, we’re getting some great action on sierra. If you get into a school it can be quick fast furious action.
Additionally, we’re still picking up an occasional wahoo near the island on the larger rapalas and yo-zuris with darker colors getting the most attention. We had a number of fish lost when they either bit through the lines or simply crushed the lures or twisted off the hooks! But, the fish we got in were all decent 30-50 pounders! But, clearly there are ‘hoo around Cerralvo Island. I’m sure if we had more fishermen out on a regular basis looking for them, we’d be hooking more of the elusive wahoo.
By the way…wind permitting…there’s some bigger dorado outside on the 88 spot east of Cerralvo Island. Reports of some 30-50 pound dorado out there also came in this week.
Inshore fishing on for roosters has also been good this week with some pargo and cabrilla also making it into the counts! Roosters have ranged anywhere from 5-40 pounds. Pargo and cabrilla have been up to about 15 pounds. Bonito, jack crevalle and some pompano have also added to the action.
That’s our story!
