That’s a beast of a wahoo for good amigo, Doug Oclassen, fishing with Captain Jorge. Doug got two in a row. Photo further down.
I love this photo of Katie Skaarer and Captain Gerardo and one of the largest roosters of the season! She’s a bit tired, but what a gamer! Check out how close they are to Punta Perrico. Katie is from Arizona.
First timer to visit us, Kurt Gallow from Washington and Captain Armando pulled out this big-time dog-tooth snapper.
Big smiles for Mark Jacklin and Dana Wolff from Grants Pass, Oregon who spent the week with us and got a variety of fish including Mark’s first wahoo.
The whole week, I don’t think Brad Cooper from Arizona ever stopped smiling. It was great! Just like when he caught his first roosterfish. The big fish was released.
Another big wahoo for Captain Gerardo and Rick Skaarer, who runs a cattle business in Arizona and got some nice fish this week. It was his first time visiting us at Tailhunter.
Another of our good Arizona amigos, Mike Guest, has a habit of putting wahoo into the boat and he didn’t miss on this one either!
With his first rooster, Shawn Westberg from Copperopolis, California, makes the report in this nice photo!
Captain Armando rocked it again with Bruce Eads and his first roosterfish. It’s a nice one!
Talk about a variety of great eating fish, John Shields has about a half-dozen different types of fish after a great day of action including snapper, dorado, triggerfish, cabrilla and white bonito.
One of the nicer bull dorado of the week get to pose with Charlie Rodriguez who gets an assist from Brad Cooper.
It’s Captain Armando again who got Kurt Gallow a fat wahoo on Kurt’s last day fishing with us.
The 2nd of two wahoo in a row for Doug Oclassen in this great photo! Spectacular shot!
Charlie Rodriguez and Brad Cooper had a good trip fishing together shown here with the first wahoo of their trip!
First day of fishing for Kurt and Brenda Gallow with Captain Armando produced a couple of nice dorado and a hard-charging Jack Crevalle.
Somewhere behind that dorsal fin is Mark Jacklin with his 2nd rooster of the trip. The fish was released.
FULL MOON ROOSTERS AND WAHOO LEAD OFF!
La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of June 4-11, 2017
The full moon week still had more breeze than we would like, but overall pretty fishable weather and water with a good variety of fish. We’re still a little cooler than normal and seemingly still in that “transition” phase between the cooler waters of spring and the warmer conditions of summer. The fishing reflects that with both cooler and warmer water species hitting you just never know what’s going to be biting. Live bait continues to be an issue. There’s no small sardines per se, but we’ve had big sardines, caballitos and mackerel. Still losing more fish than we’re catching which is just part of the sport! Big fish are big fish for a reason and we’re still losing fish to the rocks, teeth, inexperience or just bad luck. But, if you look at the photos there’s some awfully big fish being caught as well!
TAILHUNTER LA PAZ FLEET
This is where most of the wind was all week which had our pangas mostly fishing on the lee side of Espirito Santo Island to get away from the winds. But that was fine because inshore and up tight against the rocks, we got a great variety from dorado to amberjack and pargo to big triggerfish.
Some of the cabrilla and pargo were especially nice grade horses that the anglers were able to get out’ve the rocks, but so many others were simply unstoppable. If the winds would just give us a break, water conditions are really looking better and better and sargasso weeds are building up which should be a good sign for better dorado fishing. Also, we’ve got some nice live bait every day.
TAILHUNTER LAS ARENAS FLEET
This is where our big boy fishing has been. There’s no small fish for our anglers that fished with our Las Arenas Fleet. Just like the last several weeks, it’s big or go home. Hit a home run or strike out. There’s no small toy fish.
You get one or two shots at bigger fish and that’s pretty much it, but if you do get to hang one, it’s a good fish. Larger 20-35 pound dorado; rooster fish running 20-80 pounds and wahoo in the 20-50 pound class are what we were seeing this week with a smattering of jack crevalle, bonito, some big pargo, smaller cabrilla and snapper. But those were just filler. The bigger “cooler filler” fish were the norm. Good to see better dorado too!
That’s our story!
