Dr. Nathan Beckord had only one day to squeeze in to a tight schedule visit to La Paz, but stuck it to this nice yellowfin tuna with Captain Jorge earlier in the week before the winds kicked back up. He’s standing on the Beach at Muertos Bay.
Big smiles and calm seas for Patricia Trautman from Issaquah WA who was out with Captain Hugo when she put the hurt to this beautiful yellowfin tuna.

On Sunday, winds calmed down enough for Gilbert Sylvia from Oregon to get out his flyrod and have some fun light action on snapper, bonito, jack crevalle and cabrilla. (Jack crevalle in photos below)

NATURE NOT READY TO GIVE UP WINTER…JUST YET
La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of March 19-26, 2017
Although the calendar says spring has started, winter isn’t quite ready just yet to give itself up. Last week we had a decent week of fishing as the winds abated and, to some degree, the early part of this week wasn’t bad either. But, then the winds kicked in again, much to the joy of the windsurfers and kite boarders, but it sure didn’t do our fishermen any favors. As the week went on the winds got worse. Over the weekend, there was a huge triathlon in La Paz and the waves and wind in the normally calm Bay of La Paz was tossing swimming competitors back onto the beach.
So, in a quick summary, early in the week we did get a few tuna again. Don’t get me wrong. This is NOT a “tuna bite” per se. It’s not like the fish are crashing. But considering this is so early in the year, it’s surprising to see tuna around and of this size and quality with fish going 20-50 pounds near the south side of Cerralvo Island. But, these are some isolated fish. For the time being, it’s a nice bonus, but until I see more, I wouldn’t call this a tuna bite. Still, it was worth headed to the nearby grounds and taking a swing for the fence and trying to hit a home run. There were also a few biters on wahoo.
More common were the types of inshore fish that we usually get during the winter that included some bonito, snapper, pargo, jack crevalle, sierra and even a few amberjack and rooster fish which is a good sign. But that’s when it all hit a snag as the winds came roaring back again as I mentioned. However, as you’re reading this, it looks like the coming week the winds are gonna lay back again so we’re encouraged as we head towards spring break and Easter!
