In a surprise bite considering it’s winter, we’re still pulling in dorado! Captain Jorge holds up the kind of “warm” water fish we’re getting out of Las Arenas with fish between 10 and 20 pounds! Either we’ve still got warm water left over from last season or perhaps…water is warming faster than we think and the warm water fish are already moving in? Hard to know, but no on is too upset with these great fish!
More our style for this time of year…cooler water fish like Rob’s nice fat yellowtail taken out of Bahia de Los Muertos…in between strong winter winds! When the wind lies down, we’re getting fish!
February is still prime time for our grey whale tours at Bahia Magdalena. The whales will start moving out generally in March. Don’t miss the opportunity for this great experience to get close to these incredible animals in the shallow calm waters of Baja. Ask us about trips!
Tailhunter is now leaving Yakima WA and headed to Glendale (Phoenix) Arizona for the next hunting and fishing show. We had a great time in Yakima and will be at the International Sportsmens Expo at the Phoenix University Football Stadium where the NFL Cardinals play from Thursday to Sunday. Come say hi and talk about your next La Paz fishing adventure and check out our new t-shirts like the one being modeled by our young amiga, Ellie and Jilly! Hope to see you this week!
DORADO SURPRISE ANGLERS IN WINTER BITE
La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 10-17, 2013
Early week seasonal winds continued to plague the fishing, but just as well that we really didn’t have anyone wanting to go fishing, but it wouldn’t have been good anyway. But, later in the week, we did get out and the winds cooperated. It’s the northern winds that really give us the most problem making it difficult to fish as well as get bait.
However, crazily when we got out fishing we got some nice variety. I say “crazily” because it’s winter and we’re catching dorado…normally warmer water fish that we don’t see until maybe April or May. Not only did we get dorado, but some of them were really respectable-sized fish in the 10-20 pound class. Surprisingly, these fish were in the same spots as the cooler water fish, specifically, pargo and yellowtail…fish that we normally catch this time of year…colder water fish. This leads me to believe that there’s some crazy thermoclines right now with surface water temperatures much warmer than below the surface. But…hey…no one is complaining! A winter fishing day that ends up with dorado, pargo, sierra and yellowtail is a banner day no matter where and when you’re fishing!
Winds should be better this week and we’ve got folks fishing all week so we’ll hopefully have a better handle on what’s out there!
