La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay/ Mag Bay Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 24-March 4, 2018
Sam Naramore came to visit us from snowy Boise, Idaho and was out with Captain Armando when he got this nice yellowtail and lost another. He also got some good action on bonito over 3 days fishing but wind hampered efforts.
Catherine (“Kitty”) Beaton and her friend Kat Griffith…Kitty and Kat…are visiting artists visiting La Paz and gave fishing a try one day and got a nice little yellowtail and some bonito plus struck a pose with beers on their heads! Fun ladies!
Amy and Rick Kasper from Wyoming show off just some of their catch from a day fishing with us at Bahia Magdalena at Lopez Mateos including snook, corbina, snapper and cabrilla.
Rick is bent again! Not the shallow waters in the heavy brush of the bay.
Nice snook! Another one for the the ice chest
For the third week in a row, fishing took a hit from winter winds and strong currents. There were a few windows of fishing, but overall, it was picky at best. Most of the time, it was simply frustrating. This is the reason it’s called “off-season.” The weather is a major factor. It affects getting bait. It affect being able to fish. It affects where and how we fish. Honestly, some days, it was barely worth going out which is why we warn out anglers how it can be this time of year.
We did get a few yellowtail. There were a few jags of bonito. Some cabrilla and snapper rounded things out, but that was kind of it. On the upside, the good thing is that we don’t have that many folks fishing this time of year.
Our action on the Pacific side was a bit better. Winds didn’t affect thing at all in the protected waters. Fishing from Lopez Mateos, there was some excellent inshore action for snook, dog-tooth snapper, corvina and pargo using live shrimp. Also, we had some good days of whale watching with numerous whales spotted and approached.
LOPEZ MATEOS WHALE WATCHING GOING WELL!
Our yearly whale-watching tours over to Lopez Mateos in Bahia Magdalena are still rolling super! It appears the whales are sticking around a bit longer than normal. Usually by this time of year, the whales are starting to move out, but we’re still seeing numerous whales in the calm bay waters. Check out the photos and video below! It’s a great experience. We’re told the whales should be around for a few more weeks!
Peek a boo! Coming up for a nose scratch!
A curious female gives Amy a thrill!
Turn up the sound on this video. That’s Jorge Romero’s voice!
TOUCH THE MAMA!
THANKS BOISE! THANKS LONG BEACH! HERE COMES LONG BEACH!
Jill and I had great weeks! Jilly spent the week at the Idaho Sportsmans Show in Boise, Idaho. I was at the Kern Co. Fairgrounds at the Fred Hall Central Valley Outdoor Show in Bakersfield CA. Great to see so many of you and we’re looking forward to everyone who’s coming to visit us in La Paz in 2018.
Now, we move onto the biggest and oldest show on the West Coast! It’s the massive Fred Hall Fishing and Boating Show in Long Beach CA at the Long Beach Convention Center. The show runs Wednesday to Sunday and it’s a monster! Tons of stuff for fishermen, hunters, families, and the outdoors. Not to be missed! Hope to see you there. We’ve moved our booth too. After 20 something years, we’re now one row over in a corner booth. More space to say hi to you!
JONATHAN’s BIRTHDAY BEER
Tuesday is Jonathan’s birthday. If you’re in the area about 5 p.m., we’ll be hanging out at famous legendary Joe Jost’s in Long Beach for beer, picked eggs, liverwurst (yes, they serve that!), egg salad sandwiches and hot dogs (that’s all they serve!). Come join us!
It’s located at 2803 East Anaheim Street, Long Beach CA.
Not sure how long we’ll stay since alot of us have to be at the Long Beach Convention Center the next day for the Fred Hall Show, but at least long enough to have a few cold ones. TAKE UBER!
