BAJA QUARANTINE NOW EXTENDED TO END OF MAY
La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of April 16-23, 2020
MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO FISHING REPORT
THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY

Popular Captain Ramon “Moncho” Green went north to Espirito Santo Island and took this 80-pound yellowfin tuna and several big 20-pound class yellowtail using sardines.

Gary Wagner, who owns the Rancho Costa there in Muertos has been a bright spot in getting us photos these past few weeks since he’s able to get his own boat right off the beach and go fishing. He sure has a colorful dorado here. Thanks, Gary.

Alot of you know our great Captain Pancho. His son Carlos is growing up (heck of a guitar player too!) and looks he definitely has dad’s fishing DNA. Big tasty pompano in the boat!
Wish I could say things were better, but no one out on the water. Even the locals are having an issue with fishing for personal consumption. The ports have been closed for several weeks now to all traffic, but there’s quite a bit of confusion over whether local fishermen can fish for their families. Some think no problem and are out. But others have been stopped and told they can only be out if they have permits and apparently the paper process is lengthy and confusing in itself.
RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES (AS OF APRIL 22)
- Mexico almost has over 10,000 confirmed virus cases a jump of over 3,000 in a single week.
- Coronavirus deaths are over 950 and climbing daily. Three weeks ago it was 125.
- Health officials think that as many as 54,000 is a true number of cases because of so many unreported cases and very little testing.
- Four Mexican states with more than 33 million residents are not reporting any statistics because they do not want to violate people’s privacy or “cause panic.”
- More than 200 municipalities in 10 Mexican states have closed their roads unilaterally to prevent anyone from entering or leaving the towns.
- Hospitals in Mexico City are already almost at capacity.
- Baja (states of Baja Norte and Baja Sur) has almost 800 confirmed cases with 38 deaths.
- Baja has the highest incidence of infection per capita in the country. Mexico City has the 2nd highest per 100,000 people.
- Baja has extended the quarantine past the original April 30th In the absence of something changing, the quarantine is now extended to May 30th.
- Health officials estimate that only about 60% of the population are adhering to the quarantine. Many are ignoring the mandates while law enforcement and the military continue to chase people off beaches, public areas and gathering locations.
- Healthcare workers are pleading for non-existent personal protection while now themselves becoming targeted for attacks by people who say the workers are spreading the disease.
- There’s no stimulus checks, unemployment or health insurance (socialized medicine). In fact 40% of the working population aren’t even on anyone’s books. They work as laborers, vendors and other “cash-only” workers.
- The Mexico Undersecretary of Health has not recommended face masks because it gives people a “false sense of security.”
