February 29, 2016 by riplipboy

More like it…for this time of year. Sierra in the bay like this one that’s headed for the ceviche bowl!

Inshore catches including snapper, pargo, some nice cabrilla, and bonito, among others wasn’t bad this week at all!

Yes! It’s that time for the BIG SHOW! The 70th Annual Fred Hall Show…the mega fishing and hunting show at the Long Beach Convention Center. It’s THIS WEEK!

GOT GREAT WEATHER…THERE’S FISH…BUT NOT SO MANY ANGLERS!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 21-28, 2016

After a brutal winter of winds, we’ve had two of the calmest weeks of the year these past two weeks. There was a day or two of winds, but nothing like we’ve been experiencing. The only issue is that being off-season, there’s not really any fishermen around. In about a month, we’ll be loaded, but right now, if you want the beach or water to yourself, it’s like a beach in a Corona Beer commercial. Find your beach!

Of course, that’s not to say that the winds are over for good, but it’s been really nice lately with daytime temps in the 80’s. Perfect beach weather and that’s what we have in town right now. Alot of snow-birds enjoying the beaches and sunshine and the only ice they’re seeing is inside the rim of a margarita glass.

As for fishing, as I said, not many anglers this past week. Earlier in the week, we did find some spots of yellowtail that went about 25 pounds along with the usual winter species of cabrilla, pargo and jack crevalle that were alot of fun. Also, we had a few wahoo around, but each hookup came off, but the fish were definitely there! Later in the week, we didn’t find any of the trophy species, but bonito and sierra filled in. Not big, but fun. Actually, more typical of what we catch this time of the year. The fish are in various places from the island to the bay.

The coming week looks good again as far as the wind and weather is concerned. We’ve got anglers this coming week so hopefully, a more complete report coming by the weekend!

As far as Jill and I, we’ll finished our shows in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and had a great time seeing so many of our amigos!

But now, it’s time to discard the heavy coats and snow clothes and rain jackets. I will be at the Long Beach Convention Center for the massive Fred Hall Fishing and Boating show that goes from Wednesday to Sunday. This is the big boy giant show. Come see us. We’ll be in our usual spot right smack in the middle of the action.

Jill will split off and head to the Boise Fairgounds in Boise, Idaho for one of our favorite shows in one of our favorite spots. She’ll be at that show Thursday to Sunday. Go say hi to her if you’re in the area and ask her about fishing in La Paz this year!

COMING YOUR WAY…and SPLITTING UP!
