La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 24-31, 2017
MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO VERSION FISHING REPORT
THE BIG PICTURE FISHING REPORT
Surprising to still be getting dorado this late in the year, but there’s still some fun-sized fish hanging out close to shore in the bay.
Some good eating! Cabrilla are becoming more prominent now that we’re doing more inshore fishing along the rocks and reefs. These Mexican “seabass” can get pretty large and are all tough fighters to get out’ve the rocks!
Nice rack of fish this week from Muertos Bay! Dorado and cabrilla!
One of the nicer flat days this past week at Bahia de los Muertos produced this nice bull dorado!
Looks like the last fishing report of the year, everyone!!! Hope the holidays have been good to you!
The weather gods were surel good to us this week.
Wind wasn’t too bad of an issue and some great sunny skies for the snowbirds that are in town for the holidays. Biggest “problem” if you can call it that, is that most folks in town aren’t here to fish! But that’s OK too! It’s a nice time to just be in town to enjoy some warm sunshine, beaches and getaway from the cold places people come from!
For those folks who did get out fishing, there was decent action. Not great but still some fish to be caught. It’s winter and off-season. So, it’s nice to even be able to be out there!
I often have to keep in mind that the folks who fish this time of year, aren’t necessarily “fisherfolk” who have a lot of experience and are just looking for a nice day on the water. So, we don’t want get too technical with them and want to make sure they have a nice time and still catch some fish.
So, most of the fishing is closer to shore in the protected areas where we can get into some snapper, sierra, pargo, and cabrilla (seabass) as well as trigger fish. That way everyone has a good time and gets to pull on some fish and have some fish to take home. However, the bonus even in these areas, close to shore is that we have some dorado still in the area (decent 10-15 pounders). There have also been reports of some yellowtail around too, but all broken off or could have easily been something else big that took the anglers into the rocks and busted off! Still encouraging! But, at least there’s still some action to be had.
The coming week doesn’t look too badly. There’s some winds in the forecast, but should be fishable!
