SCATTERED YELLOWTAIL TAKE BAITS and JIGS
La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of March 10-16, 2020
MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT
THE BIG PICTURE and the REST OF THE STORY…
Ed Moreno and his wife had just one day to get on the water and always like fishing with our Captain Victor. Despite cloudy skies and erratic seas, they took a trio of nice yellowtail.
A better view of their 3 yellowtail!
Miles Wagner has a knack for fish and took this nice yellowtail on a trolled Rapala right off the rocks at Punta Perrico near his dad’s place at Rancho Costa Resort there in Muertos .
Not much to talk about. Not many folks fishing this past week as usual because it’s off-season and windy, especially with storms hitting the U.S. there’s a direct affect on the weather in Baja. Most of the folks on the water are actually in the area windsurfing.
We did have some early week fishing when there were some gaps in the winds although conditions remained cloudy. In addition to inshore species like snapper, sierra and bonito, some jags of decent yellowtail up to about 20-25 pounds were taken outside of Bahia Muertos, up by the Punta Arenas lighthouse and, on the rare occasion of getting across the channel to Cerralvo Island on the south and east side of the island by Los Pilis.
As well, some stray spots of school-sized dorado were also hit with most fish taken running about 10-pounds. Live bait was best, when it could be found. However, winds and rough water make that prohibitive at times. Therefore frozen dead bait worked as did jigs and trolled lures. No tuna this week or wahoo although there were several hook-ups that my captains said might have been tuna or wahoo.
COULD BE THE END OF THE ROAD for TAILHUNTER TOUR!
Kicking back in the Arizona sunshine waiting to get into the show facility. Since coronavirus can’t exist in temps oer 65 degrees we’re getting “sanitized.”
Amid all the craziness of the past week, we finished the 3-day International Sportsman’s Show in Scottdale AZ just outside of Phoenix. We had a great time and thanks to everyone who took the time to come in and visit with us and especially for those who signed up to come fish with us.
It was a strange show insofar as we didn’t know from day-to-day if it would be canceled. And, like so many other vendors, none of us knew what was going to happen to other shows that were to follow. It was a matter of waiting for the other shoe to drop. With each passing day, we heard from other friends in the outdoor industry that shows in other cities were dropping and cancelling like dominos.
Redmond, Oregon…Edmonton and Toronto up in Canada…Bakersfield CA…the Houston Stock Show…and others.
Then we found out that our next show in Salt Lake City at the ISE Show was shut down by the city.
Our last show…a big fun show…the Fred Hall Fishing and Boating Show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego…got canceled. Then, it got re-scheduled for 6 week from now…April 30-May 3rd. Regretfully, or fishing season is already on. Jill and I need to be back in La Paz by then there’s th expense of flying all the way plus our huge booth, all the materials, hotel, etc. might make it pretty impossible. We’re gonna try our best.
Maybe Jill will have to do the show by herself so I can stay in La Paz. We’ll see.
Things are kinda crazy and the world situation is very liquid and changing daily and sometimes hourly. It might have changed by the time you’re reading this.
I will tell you that we’ve had no cancelations because of the virus. In fact, we’re almost sold out and I have folks in line asking to take any spots that get canceled. We’re getting bookings from folks whose trips to Europe, Asia or on cruises got canceled. Also, we’ve been in touch daily with our captains, staff, managers, and employees back in La Paz and there’s no virus in Baja. Apparently, the virus cannot survive in temperatures over 65 degrees!
Thank you everyone! Tailhunter Nation is the best!
So, all I can say it that the season looks good and we’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, thank you to everyone who made our 2020 Tailhunter Tour such great fun and for all the hospitality. Big shout out to:
