Not a bad day of fishing, but more incredible because these wahoo and yellowtail caught by Ken Gragg and Carl Lange from Bakersfield CA were caught in FEBRUARY! Captain Pancho on the left helps out!
Carl Lange has been coming for years during the warmer months and never caught a marlin. In his first two days this week when he should have been catching little rock fish…he hooks and releases two striped marlin just outside of the rocks at Punta Perrico. Both marlin released!
Another hard-to-believe fish ,but take a look at Gary Wagner standing outside his place in Bahia de los Muertos with a nice bull dorado. Last year, this would have been one of the largest bull dorado of the year when there were so many dinks! But, again…this is WINTER and dorado time is summer and fall! Gary is the owner of the famous Giggling Marlin Bar in Cabo San Lucas.
At one point this week, it was impossible to miss on the yellowtail in the bay at Muertos this week. There were THAT many of them ripping it up. Ken Gragg caught this big yellow and you’ll notice something that looks like a tongue sticking out of it’s mouth! Go to the next photo…
That yellowtail was so hungry it swallowed the entire Rapala X-Rap 30 WHOLE! The only thing sticking out is the tongue of the crankbait which is about 9 inches long!
Wahoo and yellowtail teeth marks on the Rapala after a hard day of fishing!
Some fine-eating cabrilla meat for Ken and Carl! Big trophy fish!
We’ve been getting some crazy unusual species the last several weeks and perhaps not many as unusual as this Golden Baja Grouper that Ken Gragg caught. I’ve only seen a handful of these caught in my 20 years here in La Paz. In the past month, there’s been THREE of them caught!
Another nice reef fish…a big cabrilla for Tony Vitolo from Wyoming!
SPLIT PERSONALITY WEEK (WITH WIND…WITHOUT WIND!)
La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 8-14, 2016
What a week! As I’ve been harping for about 3 months, it’s winter. I get it.
And the fishing seems completely dependent on how the winds are blowing and no-doubt, this has been the windiest winter that anyone can remember. Most days of the week it’s far to windy to even be out on the water. But, whenever the winds drop down a bit and give us a break, the fish bite. And when they’ve bit, it’s been something to see.
Well, this was a total schizophrenic fishing week. Early in the week and late in the week it was crazy blowing. Forget it. Winds were kicking at around 20 knots with gusts up to 30 knots. Even when it dropped off a bit as the week started, it was pretty bouncy out there and a rugged day of fishing.
However, it dropped off enough for us to get some anglers out there and sure enough, the fish bit!
I’m not even sure where to start. We didn’t even have to get out very far!
As one of our guys put it inside Muertos Bay the fish were literally foaming. It was like they were voracious at times.
There were 10-30 pound yellowtail boiling on the surface and moving in the shallows. There were wahoo chasing mackerel in the bay. Among the rocks and submerged reefs huge pargo and cabrilla were feeding. There were some nice dorado free swimming through the bait schools and just outside…MARLIN!!! And I’m talking just a few hundred yards off the beach! Most of these fish shouldn’t even be here. It’s WINTER!
But, how good is this? It wasn’t wide open, but it was pretty darned good all things considered. For a few days the striped marlin were on the chew…wahoo and yellowtail bit the dark rapalas…the pargo, cabrilla and snapper bit the jigs and dead bait. Sierra hit small trolled baits and dorado were hitting just about everything else!
Then, the week ended. The winds came back up. The the bite disappeared! However, as you’re reading this, the forecast for the coming week shows some good days of minimal wind and we’re hoping the bite comes back up!
THANK YOU PORTLAND! HERE WE COME YAKIMA!
Thank you Portland and the Pacific Southwest Sportsman’s Show! What a time we had this past week in Oregon. Five huge days in one of our favorite cities and so many amigos coming to say hi and drop in at our booth to book trips to fish with Tailhunter this year in La Paz! We’re exhausted, but a GOOD exhausted and excited about the fun and looking forward to so many visits! To date our largest of the five shows we’ve done so far! A big MUCHAS GRACIAS to everyone and especially to all of you that brought us such thoughtful gifts too! Tailhunter Tribal members are the best!
So…now here we go on the road again and we’re taking the 2016 Tailhunter Tour to Yakima, Washington in the Sundome at the Western Washington Fairgrounds! We’ll be there for the Sportsmans Show from Feb. 19th-21st. We always look forward to this show. Come see us this coming week!
That’s our story!
