Ashlee Patterson from Massachusetts got out on the water one day and on the flyrod, got this feisty little dorado on light line off Punta Perrico. The fish was released.

MORE WHALES THAN FISHERMEN

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Jan. 8-15, 2017

Honestly, not much going on in terms of fishing.  It’s still been windy and there’s just not many fishermen in town this time of year or folks wanting to go fishing either.  It’s just that time of year…the lull after the holidays.   There’s not even that many folks in town.  

We did get out fishing a few days.  Surprisingly, given it’s winter and chilly, there’s still some dink dorado around, which are usually warm water fish.  Nothing big, but still fun.  The rest of the catch focused on bonito, some snapper and cabrilla.    Mostly inshore species.  The nice days on the water are nice…85 degree sunshine.  But, if you mis-time it, the north winds can make it blustery so we always check the weather before we go fishing.  If you’re coming down, try to be flexible on your fishing days so we can move you around to the best days to give you a better shot and having a fun day. 

On the other hand, whalesharks are back in the bay and starting the year with a great opportunity to swim in the shallow waters of La Paz Bay with these “baby” whalesharks that can reach 20′ in length.  If you’re interested, contact us directly via e-mail at: Jonathan@tailhunter.com

GRAY WHALE SEASON STARTS!

Speaking of whales, the grey whales have also returned to Bahia Magdalena on the Pacific side so we’ve officially kicked off our 2017 whale watching season at Lopez Mateos.  We’re running daily trips to spend a day or two with the whales in the warm waters there.  Again, contact us directly at Jonathan@tailhunter.com.   It’s a great family trip!  Check out the video above.   Thanks to amigo, Jorge Romero for the video!  “Touch the mama!”

THANK YOU DENVER!  HERE WE COME SACRAMENTO! 

Set up our new booth Tuesday night in Denver after a crazy drive through the snow and ice of the rockies the two avalanches that blocked the road.

Me, Jilly and Catlyn in the van.  This is how we roll for 3 months like road gypsies!

It was a pretty incredible drive into Denver with ice, snow, road closures, several avalanches blocking the highway and generally nasty conditions…but still, through some of the most beautiful and majestic places you’d ever want to see.  Nothing like the Colorado Rockies!

John Rader fished with us for the first time last year. Funny guy!

No matter your political views, it’s a funny shirt.

“Doctor” Art Flippin has fished with us a zillion times and is coming back this year to fish in the fall.

Art and Connie Petz are coming to see us for the first time in La Paz . Fun couple!

Matt Deischel brought us a framed and signed photo of his 38.5 pound barred pargo WORLD RECORD he shot and then weighed at our Tailhunter IGFA scale. Massive fish and Matt is an incredible bluewater hunter. Thanks, Matt. We’re honored!

Charter member of the Tailhunter Family, Jeff Sakuda, visits us at least twice a year. He’s a pilot for United and was on a layover in Denver and he came out to see us. Thanks for the Subway Sandwiches, Jeff!

There’s trouble a-foot! Louis Sanchez brings me the traditional “burrito bomb” burrito for me to eat in the van while we’re traveling!

Well, we just finished our first show of the “Tailhunter 2017 Road Tour” with a spectacular time at the Denver Convention Center and the International Sportsman’s Expo.  In our 16 years there, I think this was the best show we’ve ever had visiting with lots of friends and making new ones and signing up an incredible number of reservations to book spend time with us in La Paz fishing this year!   Thanks, Denver for once again taking such good care of us!

Now onto Sacramento and historically one of the biggest shows of the year for us.  We’ll be at the SACRAMENTO STATE FAIRGROUNDS from this Thursday to Sunday in our booth! It’s Jan. 19-22nd.   Come say hi and let’s talk about fishing in La Paz.  Get one of our new t-shirts and 24-page brochures.

Almost 700 vendors will be there with lots to see for the whole family!  Check out the video:
