THANKFULLY THERE’S ROOSTERFISH

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Aug. 12-20th, 2021

MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT

Apologies, amigos.  I tried to hold out as long as I could,  but I lost my voice this week and I just couldn’t  do the video. I was already starting to feel it go on last week’s video and it just went downhill.   I feel fine. Just wracked my voice!  I sound like Mike Tyson right now.   More tea and honey!   Thanks for understanding.

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Tony Toven’s big roosterfish gets him grinning! That’s the beach at Punta Arenas behind him. The fish was released.

Orrin Grant all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah for his first saltwater fishing experience and his first fish is a big roosterfish. He caught and released several over the week and had some long battles.

One of our funnest guys who’s known us for years, Jim Newman comes down from Chicago for quick get-aways and loves his fishing. Check out the nice dog-tooth.

A good start to the fishing trip! Austin and Dan Dorati show a table-full of dorado headed to the freezer!

Finally!!! After watching his son battle a few big boys, Grant Parr from Utah, finally gets a rooster of his own. Well done and a strong release.

With football season getting postponed, Tommy Newman was able to come down a few days with his dad and get some dorado and other species with us.

Some fine fish meat for the table! Captain Gerardo and Tony Toven show off a pair of great barred pargo.

The masked fisherman is Austin Dorati with a fat roosterfish to start the day. The fish was released.

This week was a tad better than last week, but still wasn’t quite where it should be. This is turning into a funky season in more ways than one. It’s like the fish have been affected by world events or something like the rest of us.

One day, it feels like summer fishing with specias like dorado and billfish in the counts. The next day, it gets rougher and cooler and the wind pick up and the waters turn over. And we’re back to spring-time fishing catching cabrilla, pargo, amberjack, snapper, jack crevalle and other inshore fish. All very fun, but not typical this late in the year.

Thankfully, big roosterfish are still hanging out and throwing some thrill at the anglers.

Honestly, it’s been up and down. If you fish a few days, you’ll do OK. Some days some boats do better than others or one spots is hotter than another. If you only fish 1 day, you could be that one boat that just has a slack bite.

It’s just hard to get any consistency.  Just when I thought we were on an upswing,  Hurricane Genevieve came up mid-week and was supposed to be a big one. Just what we needed.   Lots of clouds and winds came up.  Everything got shut down.  Cabo got flooded.  Here in La Paz, we waited and waited.

And other than strong winds, there wasn’t even enough rain to clean the dust off my windshield.   We actually could use a little rain.   So, ho-hum.

Cooler than normal at 95 degrees during the day. There’s still bands of very cold water on the outside.

That’s our story…
