Huge trophy cabrilla for Michael Nuttbrock from West Linn, Oregon, who was down with his dad, son and brother and got in some good fishing this past week.

Off the lighthouse, Myles Panze got into the yellowtail bite with some nice slug forktails that were in the 25-30 pound class. They said the bite was early. They also got a big striped marlin and lost another one.

Thirteen-year-old Ayden Nuttbrock had himself quite a week of fishing with dad, uncle and grandpa. From Oregon, he got yellowtail, pargo, marlin, bonito and even this dorado!

Captain Jorge with our Tailhunter Las Arenas Fleet helps Riley and Brady Dunn from Boulder, CO, who were able to squeeze in one day of fishing with us and made the best of it. Brady hooked this nice striped marlin while Riley said he “drank beer!” It was their first time fishing in La Paz and they donated all the meat to the pueblo.

Three generations…Michael…son Ayden…grandpa Don from Oregon started their fishing week off with some nice yellowtail. They’re standing on the beach posing at Bahia de Los Muertos.

Ken Errair got in some fishing before the winds started coming up later in the week and stuck it to this really nice amberjack. You can tell by the jacket and rough water behind him it’s started to get chippy!

She always does well anytime she comes fishing. Taylor Murphey from Long Beach holds up two of yer nice yellowtail she caught earlier in the week.

First timer, Andy Nuttbrock, holds up his striped marlin he caught off Muertos Bay. The fish could not be released and the meat was donated. He and his family actually hooked three marlin.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A WEEK WITHOUT WIND MAKES!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Nov. 22-29, 2015

What a crazy week! With the winds all month literally blowing everyone off the water, we could only hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Fortunately, being off-season, we don’t have alot of fishermen these last few weeks when it was hard just getting bait or standing up in the pangas…or even getting out…let alone catching a fish.

Well, this past week, we finally got a break and the winds took it easy on us and took a week off. What a difference a week makes!

We got quite a variety of fish. Nothing crazy, but some really nice fishing especially for alot of our first timers. We got just about everything except tuna! Talk about variety, we had cold and warm water species mixing it up.

There were striped marlin and sailfish between 100 and 120 pounds . We had some medium-sized 30 pound rooster fish near the shore. There were 20-30 pound yellowtail and even some amberjack off the deep hole near the Las Arenas lighthouse and at the south end of Cerralvo.

There were some big-boy pargo and cabrilla plus bonito and some sierra. We even had a few dorado and some wahoo biters that broke off.

From day-to-day, we never knew what was going to bite or what the anglers would come back with. It was a surprise every day and in between each panga.

And that was our week. Right at the end, things started falling apart again as Hurricane Sandra started forming up to the south of us. It never showed up, but it did send up winds and some rains to the area and well…there went the fishing. As I write this, the winds are slated to blow again through about mid-week before it lets up again.

Hope everyone had a safe, happy and peaceful Thanksgiving!

That’s our story!
