MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ FISHING REPORT for WEEK OF SEPT. 24-Oct. 1, 2017
Here’s a great personal video from Fred and Lisa Cruz who were into the tuna bite with us. Fun to watch! Check it out.
Week at a Glance
Weather – Perfect. Seasons are changing. Feeling more like fall. Less humidity. Daytime mid-90’s and mostly sunny. Nights low 80’s and clear with a seabreeze.
Water – surface 85 degrees and blue
Fishing – good as it’s ever been in a long time for tuna, dorado and roosterfish. Bait a little tough this past week in La Paz, but the dorado ate everything thrown at them anyway.
Catching – Lots of limits. We’re selling extra ice chests like women’s shoes at a Nordstrom sale. Can’t keep ice chests in stock as anglers realize how much fish they’re taking home!
Notes: Don’t come down or go out without your fishing licenses in hand. The inspectors are checking. Get your license here: http://www.bajasursportfishing.com
THE BIG PICTURE FISHING REPORT
Here second visit here this year! Claire Swift from San Clemente, CA knows how to fish and got into the tuna this trip just outside Bahia Suenos.
Not a bad day and a good start to the fishing week for Ben Lindell from Le Grande, Oregon. Ben has been down to visit us twice this year and shows a rack of tuna and dorado.
Great colors and flat waters! Montana in the house! Marty Martin has one of several tuna to kick off the start of his fishing trip.
Wow! Let the dog out! A big dog-tooth snapper/ pargo perro for Dave Lindell fishing with Captain Victor.
Wade Gomes our Arizona amigo had himself quite a week of fishing and poses with a pair of his dorado he caught fishing north of La Paz with our Tailhunter Fleet.
Lisa Hicks always does well when she visits La Paz and was with her favorite Captain Victor from the Tailhunter Fleet when she caught and released this nice rooster fish not far from the Arenas lighthouse She said she was laughing because it was bigger than the rooster her husband had just caught and he had been giving her a bad time until she hooked up. Both fish were released.
Roger Young was with Captain Chito fishing north near Espirito Santo Island and was trolling a little plastic feather to catch bonito to use for dorado bait when this big blue marlin came up instead. They were not able to release the fish and most of the meat was donated. Roger is from Missouri
A pretty good week for roosterfish with another catch-and-release opportunity for Stan Andre from Northern California with Captain Pancho. Great colors.
Hard to have more fun than these two! From Wyoming, Sid Kendall and Bruce Diechmueller who didn’t let the fact that his arm is in a sling stop him from three fun days of fishing. Their first time visiting us.
Big smile and a big roosterfish for is birthday! Captain Gerardo gives Norm Clayton a hand with a big rooster. He’s visited us a number of times, but never got a rooster until his birthday this week! The fish was released.
There’s alot of great colors going on here for our friend, Jeff Swift, from San Clemente CA who hung this yellowfin tuna south of Muertos Bay with a sardine.
Our Missouri friends, Marilyn and Roger Young, with some dorado to add to their fish haul that included marlin and tuna.
Louis Abels from Colorado fished with his friends and Captain Armando to take several nice limits of tuna over two days.
Xavier has some fun with cigars! Great photo!
A very unusual catch for Brad McBride from Arizona because we normally don’t get pompano until spring time when the waters are cooler which tells me may be our waters are chilling out a bit. The pompano are great eating.
John Mussel made a last minute trip to squeeze in two quick days of fishing and was rewarded with a nice load that included dorado like this bull taken near Espirito Santo Island.
Good friend, Roy Stenzel, who lives in San Diego, but has a house in La Paz fished with his friends and Captain Armando for some tuna, dorado and surgeonfish.
Love this photo of Captain Boli with our good friend, Katie Olson, from Bishop CA who visits us every year. They caught these fish just outside of La Paz Bay.
Here’s a quick video showing you just how close the sardine schools are at Bahia de los Muertos. they’re right at the launch ramp no the beach!
He’s been with us many times over the years, but came to celebrate his retirement from the Sacramento Fire Department, Tim Nishimura brought son Kenny for a week and went home with a full load of tuna and dorado.
It almost looks like Wade Gomes is fishing somewhere on the Colorado River perhaps Lake Mead not from from where he lives in Arizona, because the waters are so calm and the rock look like the river gorge, but he caught two of these nice rooster fish in a row near the rocks and released both. The other one was bigger!
More tuna? Yes! Shawn Kirk from Colorado and Marilyn Young from Missouri add 4 more tuna to several ice chests of fillets the took home after almost a solid week of great fishing.
First timers with us from Utah, Bob Jolley and Al and Jay Curtis with some of their tuna from the first day of fishing out’ve Muertos Bay.

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Report for Week of Sept. 24-Oct. 1, 2017
We probably had one of the best and most consistent bites of the season this past week. With the exception of a bump here and there where they had an off-day, overall the best weather and the best fishing in a long time. Flat calm blue waters mostly with surface temps around 85 degrees and air temperatures a balmy 95 with humidity dropping as we pull away from summer and head into fall.
