THE BIG PICTURE FISHING REPORT
Raquel Johnson from Phoenix AZ on her first trip to La Paz only had one day to fish and scored this nice rooster right off the rocks just outside Bahia de los Muertos with Captain Victor for the Tailhunter Sportfishing Fleet. The fish was released.
Robin Weber from Washington lives in La Paz for part of the year and was trolling a Rapala behind his 75’ sailboat not too far offshore this huge yellowtail slammed him! Between trying to control a sailboat under full sail and battling the big fish he had his hands full, but finally got the fish to gaff. Estimated over 50 pounds.
Hefty barred pargo for our amigo, Gary Wagner from Rancho Costa in Muertos Bay.
Ben Lindell from La Grande, Oregon on his first trip to La Paz was fishing in Bahia de los Muertos with the Tailhunter Fleet and ran into a thick school of amberjack in the shallows and pulled several out on light tackle as well as big triggerfish!
Gary Wagner helps out Jen Wilson from Colorado with a sunset biter of a big jack crevalle.
WINDS BACK UP BUT GOOD VARIETY AT MUERTOS
La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of May 1-7, 2017
Weather is warming and a great time to be in La Paz this past week, but lingering winds made fishing difficult in some areas and during various parts of the day.
LAS ARENAS/ MUERTOS
This is where we had everyone fishing this week. With the winds back up, it was easier to send folks here where fishing was closer to shore; there was variety and action (especially with so many one-time fishermen this week); and there was more protection for the winds.
We had some shots at yellowtail and there were some tuna boils, but none of the bigger game fish showed up. But, also we had quite a few folks just fishing either for the first time or they just had one day and we wanted them to have some fun and action rather then trying for home runs.
So, we did get into some nice variety.
There were some spots of smaller dorado. In the structures, we found some nice schools of amberjack, pargo and cabrilla. Closer to the beaches, pompano and jack crevalle offered some tough battles as well as sierra.
Roosterfish in the 10-40 pound class were found off the shore breaks and in the rocky areas around Punta Perrico.
Another indication that the waters are warming and the season is changing is that there’s marlin starting to show up. They’re not quite ready to bite yet, but we did get one hooked this week and others were seen.
LA PAZ
Not much to report. As stated above, it was easier to just have everyone fish out’ve Las Arenas this past week. With winds coming from the north and blowing up whitecaps and chop, it was too exposed to fish comfortably. Nice to have two fleets so that we could move folks over to Las Arenas and still catch fish! It’s supposed to be fun, not an exercise in staying dry and keeping your kidneys from rattling! No one seemed to mind when we moved them!
That’s our story
