La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 2-9, 2018
MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO FISHING REPORT
SHORT ATTENTION SPAN WEEK at a GLANCE
Weather – Yuk. Not only windier and rougher, but two days of the week we had rain and it was pretty hard at times. But, not really anyone fishing those days anyway.
Fishing – Whoever went out at least, they got fish! Some nice cabrilla, pargo and snapper. Bonito always make for fun and some random dorado still around
Forecast – Later ths coming week might get pretty windy around Thursday and Friday. Mostly cloudy. Highs in the mid-70’s. Nights in the low 60’s.
THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…
Bonito and snapper in the box. Fun fishing. Snapper are excellent eating.
Not much to report this week. There’s a number of things to point at.
First, it’s off-season. Just not many folks fishing between November and April. It can be windy and rough. And indeed, that’s the 2nd reason there’s not much to report.
It was not only cold and windy this week, but it rained. In fact, it rained pretty hard at times. That winter storm “Diego” that dropped show and rain in California; flash flooding in Texas and is now slamming into the East Coast started down in Baja! So, that’s not exactly conducive to fishing.
Finally, tack on the fact that this is the “lull” between the holidays. There’s just not that many folks in town. Some snowbirds mostly or folks just looking for a little sunshine compared to where they’re from. And they’re not really in town to do much or any fishing.
All that being said, there was some spotty to OK fishing taking place. Inshore species like snapper and cabrilla…sometimes large cabrila provided action. For a lot of first-timers, bonito are always fun too. Some good eating sierra were taken and here and there’s schools of dorado running 5-15 pounds were about the only blue-water species around, but a hoot for a lot of these snowbirds.
WHALE WATCHING SEASON COMING UP SOON!
