WIND DROPS FISHING IMPROVES

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Nov. 25-Dec 2, 2018

MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN WEEK AT A GLANCE…

Weather – Much better this week.  Winds gave us a break.  Mostly sunny.  Daytime temps mid-80’s.

Water – Getting cooler, but largely flatter this week and calmer with the absence of those northern winds

Fishing – Transitional mix with warm and cooler water fish taken.  Warmer water fish on the way out and more cooler water fish showing up.  But strangely, one day it would be mostly cooler water fish like pargo, cabrilla and sierra.  Next day, warm water fish like dorado and wahoo.

Fish Caught This Week:  Wahoo, dorado, bonito, jack crevalle, cabrilla, needlefish, sierra, snapper

Forecast: Looks like the northern winds return this coming week with very strong winds maybe Monday or Tuesday then later in the week very strong.  Chance of showers mid-week.

THE BIG PICTURE & THE REST OF THE STORY…

We’re not usually going to see dorado this time of year, but they were a great surprise this week. Most fish 8-12 pounds. Fun size, but some larger. Check out the big jack crevalle on the rack. They were fishing with Captain Gerardo.

Manny poses with his big wahoo caught right off the point at Punta Perrico. Decent wahoo week earlier.

Captain Armando put his guys on a full box of sierra plus some fat bonito, a cabrilla and a giant needlefish.

It was one of the better weeks we have had in awhile.  As is usually the case, weather has a lot to do with the fishing.  With mostly sunny skies, the winter north winds gave us a break for the most part allowing us to get out there and not make it an exercise in staying dry and in the boat in the big waves.  But, it also allowed us to get to some spots that are often difficult when it’s windy.

With daytime temps in the mid-80’s and nighttime in the high 60’s it’s a pleasant time to be in La Paz and the influx of snowbirds is a sure indicator.  But, as I’ve said in the past, they usually don’t fish or only fish a day so there just aren’t that many folks fishing this time of year.

But, we did get some folks out and the catches were rather surprising.

Early in the week out’ve Bahia Muertos, a good snap of 20-50 pound wahoo showed up just off the rocks with some nice fish hitting the box, but others getting lost.

All week, there were small bands of schoolie-dorado as well.  Nothing spectacular, but great fun action with fish running 8-12 pounds mostly with the occasional 20-pounder.  A bit unusual this time of year given the cooler water temps.

Other days, there was decent action on bonito, big jack crevalle, pargo and cabrilla and a sure indicator of cooler conditions was the appearance of good bites of sierra that make for great eating and fun on light tackle.  In fact, several days we had more sierra than I’ve seen in a long time.

The outlook for the coming week shows some spikes of wind as the northerns return, but most of the wind won’t hit until the end of the week.

That’s our story!
