Here’s Jerry Siegel from Colorado Springs showing a striped marlin he took early this week while trolling a Rapala in just 40′ of water near Bahia de los Muertos fishing for cabrilla and other rockfish! The fish could not be released and they donated the fish to the local orphanage. Thanks to our amigo, Gary Wagner, owner of Rancho la Costa there in Muertos Bay. Check out the video below!

STRONG WINDS AND EVEN RAIN MARK THE WEEK

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 12-20, 2017

Not much to report this week. Earlier in the week it was calm enough to go out although still breezy, but the constant winds have turned alot of the water green and murky with alot of suspended particulate in it. The good side is that this is normal stuff for this time of year and with El Nino, for two years, we didn’t get the cold water in winter. This meant there were no nutrients for bait which is a big reason why the last two seasons the bait stocks up and down the Sea of Cortez were so minimal.

So, although it didn’t help us this week, in the long run this seems to bode well for the coming fishing season. I did have someone recently tell me that down in Cabo San Lucas, about 100 miles south of us, they’re seeing more bait than they’ve seen in several years. So…bring it on!!!

However, back to the present, again not many folks out on the water since this is off-season and mostly snowbirds in town. Not surprisingly alot of our good amigos from Canada and other chilly places. Even though it’s windy and cold by our standards, they’re still enjoying the sunshine in the high 70’s!

For the fishing, there were some scattered dorado caught and a few of the nice-grade 20-pound class yellowtail. Inshore, some small pargo and cabrilla mixed with a few jack crevalle. I’m surprised that we’re not seeing more sierra. But, it’s still early. We did get a surprise marlin (see the video and photo above thanks to Gary Wagner from Rancho Costa) that was hooked while slow trolling a Rapala nearshore in shallow water. CRAZY!!!

Anyway…

Later in the week the winds kicked up and this past weekend it rained pretty somewhat steadily from time to time. The general rule of thumb is that if it’s storming or windy or raining hard in the Western United States, chances are it’s doing it in Baja… just a bit warmer. This coming week after the storm passes, it looks like the first part of the week will have some of the strongest winds in quite awhile in double-digit speeds at the backend of the storm.

WHALES AT BAHIA MAGDALENA

Our Tailhunter amigos for many years, Dale and Deborah Van Dellen spent two days at Bahia Magdalena whale watching with us.

On the upside, our whale watching tours are going full-speed at Bahia Magdalena and folks are really enjoying the numerous whales that have taken up residence for the next few months in the shallow waters there. We’re running day trips until about mid-March. Also, right in La Paz Bay, we’ve got quite a few folks swimming with the baby whalesharks and we’re running daily trips weather permitting. The whales are only a few hundred yards in front of the La Paz Malecon waterfront in about 10 feet of water!

If you’re interested in either tour, contact us at Tailhunter Sportfishing International at: Jonathan@tailhunter.com

It’s a pretty neat experience!

Yes, they can get pretty close! This one wants to know what’s in the ice chest for lunch! Whales are usually around until about mid-March.

CARNIVAL STARTS THIS WEEK in LA PAZ! Viva Carnival 2017!

If you’re in La Paz, Carnival starts this Thursday and goes until next Tuesday with massive fiestas, street fairs, festivities and parades. It’s non-stop party similar to Mardi Gras in other cities. The best place to watch the parades is right at our Tailhunter Restaurant with 3 stories of restaurant overlooking the waterfront and malecon street below with all the floats and marchers. Not to mention enjoying some great food and drinks! Here’s some shots from previous years!

Steve Green from Alaska staying at Rancho Costa in Bahia de los Muertos took a nice big cabrilla with some afternoon fishing dragging a deep diver. Thanks Gary Wagner for the photo.

You can tell it’s a little chilly when folks from Alaska like Mic Ward is wearing long pants and fleecewear! But another nice cabrilla off the rocks while staying at Rancho Costa.

Captain Moncho working for Rancho Costa there in Muertos Bay used a Rapala to hang this grouper with Chuck Chandler from Idaho.

CHILLY AND COLD KEEPS THE FISHING TO INSHORE SPECIES

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 5-12, 2017

The cold and windy conditions returned this past week which was the downside. The upside is that there weren’t many folks fishing. But, that’s how it is in the winter off-season. The fishing that could be had was confined mostly to inshore fishing so we couldn’t follow up on last-week’s yellowtail bite over at the sound end of Cerralvo Island. Or look for mackerel.

That being said, slow trolling off the rocky areas of Punta Perrico and just outside the point at Bahia de los Muertos using Rapalas. The areas also produced yellow snapper, jack crevalle and barred pargo. Just off the drop-off, we also found some bonito. Encouragingly, we also spotted some rooster fish off the Arenas lighthouse, but the fish weren’t interested and were moving fast.

Looks like there’s going to be a bit more wind this coming week and a chance of rain. We’ll keep you posted.

WHALES WATCHING SEASON IN FULL SWING

Our yearly whale-watching tours in Bahia Magdalena are in full swing right now. The whales are here usually until mid-March. Check out this video sent to us by our Tailhunter Restaurant manager, Gerry Becerra. Turn up your sound! Write us directly for more info and we’ll set you up for an incredible time!

Not just a pretty fish, but a pretty photo! I hope our amigo and ace fisherman, Roger Thompson, frames this photo of his golden grouper. He’s caught a ton of great fish over the years, but this one is especially cool. He was fishing with his favorite Captain Hugo and took this on a…(wait for it)…a trolled Rapala!

Carl Lange and Ken Gragg from Bakersfield visit us 2-3 times a year and are two of our best winter-time fishermen. As Ken told me, “We caught the only two dorado in the bay!” It’s not normal to see warm-water fish like this in the winter.

Talk about unusual fish in the winter…TUNA? Our own captain Armando was out with his amigo from La Paz and they tied onto these two 30-pound class yellowfin tuna right off the beach near the old Hotel Las Arenas in shallow water using mackerel and squid.

Donna Thompson always gets fish and on this particular day, she nailed two nice yellowtail…our first documented yellowtail of the season…off the south end of Cerralvo Island and they lost a few more they couldn’t stop from busting off while trolling Rapalas with Capt. Hugo.

Happy smile from Chuck Chandler of Idaho with a nice fat cabrilla! Great eating.

Our friend Gary Wagner who owns the Rancho Costa Hotel and the famous Giggling Marlin Bar in Cabo with a nice cabrilla and Ken Ward from Alaska sort of photo-bombing with a sierra over Gary’s head.

It was a great week to pull big fish out’ve the rocks! Steve Green from Idaho with another fat cabrilla.

Not an usual combination this week! Ken Gragg with the cabrilla and Carl Lange with a sierra and their favorite Captain Pancho.

jack-from-la-ventana-yellowtail-tags-2-17

Jack got into the big yellowtail as well. You can see the deep-running Rapala sticking out’ve the fish’s mouth. He was working that area at the south end of Cerralvo Island just across from where he was staying in La Ventana.

Here we come, Oregon! We’ve done 3 weeks of shows now…Denver…Sacramento…and Seattle and we’re doing great with reservations! The Tailhunter Tour now takes us to the largest show in the Pacific Northwest. From Wednesday to Sunday, we’ll be at the Portland Expo Center. More info below! Come see us and let’s talk about fishing in La Paz!

WHAT A DIFFERENCE WHEN THE WIND GIVES US A BREAK!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Jan. 28-Feb. 5, 2017

What a difference a week makes! Whereas the past few weeks we had the regularly season strong winds that really stirred things up and made most days unmissable, this past week we had some of the nicest weather in quite a while. It was still on the cool side (our staff used the word “COLD!”), but it’s all relative, right? It still usually required fishing with jackets and sweatshirts. But, having some flat water and lower winds made all the difference.

It wasn’t wide open or crazy fishing by any stretch, but generally speaking, at least we caught fish and there were some real surprises. In addition to the usual cold-water fish we catch this time of year that included inshore species like cabrilla, snapper, sierra, bonito and cargo, we also saw some of the quality fish like yellowtail as well as dorado and tuna.

The yellowtail aren’t a real surprise, although maybe they are a tad early. It’s great news because these are the first yellowtail we’re seeing. But, the real surprise was also having warm-water species like dorado and tuna also in the same areas! Those are the kind of species we might see in May or June mixed together. Again, nothing spectacular in the bite, but still really a bonus to go out on the water and get species like these!

One of the best spots was at the south end of Cerralvo Island. We found some mackerel in the area which is great candy-bait for these fish but also trolling deep-running crank baits like the Rapala 15’s and 30’s worked some of these big fish up.

Hopefully the winds stay down, but generally the windy months continue until March. We’ll keep you posted!

HERE WE COME PORTLAND SPORTSMANS SHOW!

One of our funnest shows and the largest in the Pacific Northwest, we’ll be in Portland this week from Wednesday to Sunday in the Tailhunter booth! We’re looking forward to seeing you!

Here we come Portland! Jill and I will be bringing the new Tailhunter booth plus new shirts and brochures to the Portland Expo Center this week. We’ll be at the Pacific Northwest Outdoor Show from Wednesday to Sunday. Here’s more info and how to get discount tickets:

This is the largest show in the Pacific Northwest and massively huge with tons of stuff for the whole family to see. Come say hi and check out the new t-shirts and brochures and let’s chat about fishing in La Paz this year!

That’s our story!
