Wow! Now THIS is a good day of fishing! Captain Pancho hooked up Craig and his dad, Robert Hoffman with 8 yellowfin tuna, a dorado and a big dog-tooth snapper near Las Arenas!

Traci Weaver is an accomplished flyfisher from Oregon, but when big winds and waves made it tough, she grabbed a conventional rod for the first time. She said, “I didn’t even know which side was up and the handle seemed to be on the wrong side!” However, her first biter turned into a trophy dog-tooth snapper just off the rocks at Punta Perrico near Las Arenas with Captain Moncho of the Tailhunter Fleet.

Colorado in the house! Ed Eversol with his first tuna and a great pose on the beach at Bahia Muertos. Chunky yellowfin!

From San Diego, Rebecca Coxsey fished in La Paz for the first time with Tailhunter Sportfishing and got her first dorado and had fun with lots of bonito and pargo as well. She thought it was pretty funny that the dorado matched her bikini. The fish was caught just outside of Bahia de los Muertos.

It started this week a nice smattering of yellowfin at Muertos Bay…that got better. Dave Hill is from Grand Junction CO with this tuna.

Popular Captain Gerardo with Dr. Gianna Checa and some of their yellowfin tuna plus a few other assorted fish on the cutting table!

Pretty smile for Traci Weaver and the nice dorado she caught off Espirito Santo Island north of La Paz.

His first tuna…finally! Craig Hoffman visited us from Arizona and was able to spank this tough yellowfin tuna just outside Bahia de los Muertos near Las Arenas.

Dave and Bill Johnson share some photo time with Bill’s tuna!

Big bull for a big fella! Jason Robbins from Washington put the wood to this bull dorado fishing with our Tailhunter Fleet out’ve La Paz near Espirito Santo Island north of town.

Trophy grouper in the boat! Don’t see many of these, not because they’re not around, but getting them out’ve the rocks is quite a task. Marc Garrison from Chicago staying there in Muertos at Rancho Costa.

We don’t often have Captain Boli of our Tailunter La Paz fleet, but he’s got a big sonrie going on here with Mike Lohrey from Portland OR and one of several sizeable dorado he caught.

Another of our first-timers this week who rocked it! Louis Agassiz from Canada was in town for a wedding and only had limited time to fish. He had never fished in warm water before, but his first fish turned out to be our first marlin of the season. He also got this nice dorado! The marlin could not be released but the meat was shared.

A load of fish headed to the Tailhunter Restaurant for sashime and Hawaiian poke! This is Matt Bigalk with a couple of nice yellowfin tuna. Matt is from Colorado.

Our buddy, Gary Wagner, owner of Rancho Costa and the famous Giggling Marlin Bar in Cabo with one of several amberjack caught this week.

Rob Hoffman lost his first one but finally got his first yellowfin tuna into the panga! He’s from Scottsdale AZ. He has is “best fishing day ever!”

Marc Garrison from Chicago with another YFT! Just south of Cerralvo Island on the high spot.

It’s easier said than done to pose with a fresh powerful dorado and take a good photo when you’re tired and the fish is trying to whack you in the shins! But, Mike Lohrey poses with one of the larger dorado of the week!

These big bonito kept everyone busy when not much else was happening and believe me, they tore up some of our anglers. Mauricio Villanueva poses with a pig boney! Thanks for the photo, Gary Wagner!

Washington boys on deck with Jason Robbins, Brian Izzi and Dave Wentworth and quite a variety of fish taken with our Tailhunter La Paz fleet!

Barred pargo / pargo mulatto for Craig Hoffman just off Punta Perrico.

Marc has another one for the fish box. This time it’s a great eating pargo.

First amberjack showing of the season. This is Dr. Roy Stringfellow showing off his fish while staying at Rancho Costa there at Muertos Bay.

This is what guys from rainy Washington do when they come down here. Parting shot from Jason Robbins getting some sunshine.
