MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT for WEEK of Dec. 3-10, 2017
WEEK AT A GLANCE
Weather – Sunny, but incredibly windy almost all week with rough water. Diminishing somewhat this week, but winds will still blow.
Water – Have to pick and chose your spots carefully. Waters can get rough.
Fishing – When you can get out, still blue water species hovering.
One one of the rare days that the wind wasn’t blowing, our amigo, Roger Thompson, got out and worked that north side of Cerralvo Island near La Reina and dragging a Rapala X-rap 30 deep hooked this hog wahoo that even he had trouble holding up for the photo! Still wahoo and tuna around just tough to get out this past week!
One man’s junk is another man’s treasure! With all the wind, the “calm” channel between Las Arenas/ La Ventana and Cerralvo Island is kicking up perfectly for the windsurfers that descend this time of year to catch wind!
WIND AND WAVES MAKE FISHING TOUGH
La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 3-10, 2017
Not much to say this week. A good week for snowbirds to enjoy some beach time or shopping or hanging out in a restaurant watching the ocean because it definitely wasn’t the greatest week to be on the water. The strong devastating winds that plagued firefighters in Southern California with Santa Ana ferocity also blows down the Baja Peninsula and Sea of Cortez as well. Borders don’t stop winds! Maybe not as strong, but enough to kick up waves and chop and big swells, even in the normal calm waters inside La Paz Bay.
So, the window of opportunity for any fishing this week was limited to either hearty (crazy) souls who probably got beat up out there or earlier in the week. There’s still fish out there. Not much fishing north of town because the winds are from the north so almost all the fishing is out’ve Muertos Bay / Las Arenas/ Punta Perrico and Cerralvo Island where there’s some limited protection.
Some yellowfin tuna are still hanging out, but live bait is hard to come by. Dorado are still in the area up to about 15 pounds and we also had some wahoo chase the Rapalas closer to the island. Some of the wahoo ran 20-40 pounds or larger. Wind should be diminishing a bit this week. And town should start getting a bit more crowded as folks come in for the holidays.
ALMOST TIME FOR THE WHALES TO SHOW UP – BOOKING NOW and FILLING FAST
The whales should start showing up in about a month. Best times are January to early March with mid – February an ideal time to get close to these magnificent animals in the calm waters of Magdalena Bay. It’s a fantastic family experience. We can book the whole package for you as a day trip or overnight adventure including lodging, food, transportation and guided trips to the whales from La Paz. Just e-mail us at: Jonathan@tailhunter.com .
