Making the most of just enough time to squeeze in a day of fishing, Gary Boote from New Zealand landed this hug fat roosterfish then released it. Big roosters have been great all week. e

From Washington, Kyler Whitlow got a great graduation present before heading to college next month. He came down with long-time amigo, Mike Whitlow, Kyler’s stepdad who also happens to be a pro-bass fisherman. They had a great week and we enjoyed them both!

Something to crow about! Big rooster for Larry Barnard from El Segundo CA who rocked this big rooster and did C.P.R. on it (catch…photo…release). Nicely done. He got several.

You gotta love Rebecca Jennings’ facial expression as Captain Luis hoist the biggest dorado of the week for her! The big mahi was estimated between 35-40 pounds. Rebecca visits us every year from Arkansas.

I know this is a BIG fish because Chris Barnard is a BIG GUY! Flat seas…sunshine…and big roosters! A good day. Caught and released!

This amiga can hang with the best of them! Wendy Ralston from Washington fished hard all week and out-fished many of the guys. Check out this nice mahi from La Paz.

Our “TEAM PROFESSOR.” Two of our favorites have been visiting us for years. Professor Mark Marcus now lives in Tennessee and Professor Llew Williams now calls Florida home. They got a nice rack of dorado and a pargo fishing out’ve Bahia de Los Muertos.

This is a great shot of Captain Archangel having a laugh with Mike Majors and Mike’s big roosterfish. Mike’s from Arkansas and he released this nice gallo.

Nothing like starting ’em early and these school-sized dorado are perfect for the family! John Ungaro from San Pedro CA had two days on the water and shows off some of their dorado with boys Nicholas and younger John Raul.

Don’t let the size fool you. Pargo are some of the toughest fish to nail out’ve the rocks and they get much bigger, but even tougher on light tackle and Wade Ralston from Washington is a light tackle specialist. I think he must have gotten about 10 different species all week on light tackle and is shown here with Captain Raul.

I might have to frame this photo! I don’t have many photos of popular Captain Boli giving off a good belly-laugh but he and our amigo, John Olson recently retired from a career with Disney, got into a school of small jacks and roosters and had themselves a ball.

Tough kid! Aristotle Chang from Vancouver, Canada got a 450 pound marlin last year with his dad. Nothing quite so big this year, but he had fun with dorado and big bonito.

Katie Olson with another dorado and a picture-postcard photo after a day of fishing with out Tailhunter La Paz fleet. Always good to have her and husband, John, visiting us.

I promised Alex Trasvina that I would post his photo with Mario Ayala from Chula Vista CA on this week’s report with their dorado. So…there you go, Alex! Thanks!!!

Our buddy, Alex Trasvina from San Diego (white shirt in front) always brings a fun group of guys every year, but last year they showed up just as a hurricane broke on our heads and we all had to come back and cancel all the fishing. But this year…all went smooth so we toasted a bunch of beer in the Tailhunter store!

Shout outs to Mike and Diane Shyrock from Washington who came down with a bunch of great stuff for the kids and Jill’s “Pack for a Purpose” program. Thanks to you both for the big hearts!

I’ve known Ken Chaplin from Oregon for many years as Ken is a S. African hunting outfitter. He got to finally bring his son, Dustin, down to get some fishing in but packed a few ice chests with clothes, school supplies and sporting goods for the kids! Wow!
BIG ROOSTERS and DORADO BEND RODS!
La Paz – Las Arenas (Muertos Bay) Fishing Report for Week of July 19-26, 2015
Another “go figure” week as fish defied general logic, but at least were co-operative. The week also saw us watching another storm come and go (Leticia) that gave us a few rain showers and some wind, but that was it. Everyone caught fish. Everyone who wanted to bring home fish brought home fish. Maybe not the species they wanted or the size they wanted, but everyone pretty much having fun and leaving with smiles and good memories…so all-in-all-a good week! Just wish the weather would make put it’s mind! One day blazing sunshine. Next day clouds. Like I said, “Go figure.”
LAS ARENAS/ MUERTOS BAY
Bait continues to be a problem. Quite honestly, unless you’re chasing billfish or bonito and maybe a few dorado, there’s not much else going on. Of course, this could change any day! That’s just the way it is here.
But…as we say here “Gracias a Dios!” (thank God!)…the rooster fish are here. Man, the rooster fish have saved more than one fishing day or frankly, they have made an entire trip. Our “smallest roosters” this week were 35 pounders. Our larger ones were ticking the 70-pound range. Lifetime trophy fish! They are big and they are mean and most are getting released too. Anything that can chow-down a 12-18 inch ladyfish as bait has GOT TO BE BIG! There’s a reason they call this “Roosterfish Alley” and “Roosterfish Capital of the World.”
LA PAZ
Dorado are leading the charge. Limits or near limits for most of our fishermen most days. Some days coming back early. But good steady action. Dorado seem to be getting bigger each week. Fewer sinks and better 10-15 pounders (still small by our standards) but some larger 20-30 pounders getting hooked and occasionally brought in. Billfish also around as well. Inshore, some decent pargo and cabrilla fishing still available as well for those with the patience and hand-eye coordination to pull them outta the rocks!
That’s our story!
