WAHOO BILLFISH FINALLY SHOW!
La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Sept. 25-Oct. 2, 2020
MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT
THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…
An exciting day for Rich Davidsmeier from Boise, idaho with our Captain Joel with this larger-than-normal sailflsh caught north of La Paz on light tackle . The fish estimated at 120-130 pounds (hard to see, but he’s really thick) was caught on 40 pound test while fishing for dorado. The fish could not be released, but Rich donated the meat. The trip was especially remarkable because Rich was celebrating his retirement, his birthday AND his anniversary!
The big fish legend, Roger Thompson popped three of these big dog-tooth south of Bahia Muertos on slab bonito. Scroll down for a photo of one of his other big slugger fish!
Hugo gives a thumbs-up on 6 wahoo boated at South Cerralvo Island on Rapalas! First real wahoo of the season!
A good day for John Ehlers and Captain Pancho with a table-full of dorado plus a nice barred pargo! John has been visiting us for years, sometimes more than once-a-year from Denver.
Two of our newest amigos! Rick and Beth Farrar with a pretty bull dorado. Rick and Beth spent the week from us and own the gorgeous Eagle’s Wings Wilderness Retreat in Alaska and came down to enjoy some sunshine!
Always fun to have John Stone and Jason Correia down to fish with us from San Diego. Some nice meat on hand with some fat cabrilla and tasty triggerfish that ended up at our Tailhunter Restaurant as ceviche!
A happy Neil Preston with his sailfish. Thanks to Gary Wagner from the Rancho Costa at Bahia Muertos.
One of the three big dog-tooth snapper caught by Roger Thompson. You can see why they’re called “dog-tooth!”
Manny Lucero with a speedy thick wahoo! Taken on the troll from Bahia Muertos. Thanks for the photo, Gary!
One of the sweetest ladies ever! Captain Pancho helps on a dorado for Dolores Ehlers who caught several of these mahi on a light tackle spinning rod.
I promised Julio Cornejo from West Covina CA that I’d put his big pargo in this week’s report!
Another sailfish ready for release! It was a good week for sailfish!
John Ehlers know he’s got some good eating on the gaff with this barred pargo.
It’s been that kind of year where so much is unpredictable. We have a good week. Then we have an so-so week. Then a good week again. No changes in temps. No changes in the water. No changes in any of the variables.
…and this was a “so-so” week at best. So, if you’re coming next week, we’re on schedule for a good week of fishing!
But this past week, we really struggled and our captains and clients worked hard to find fish.
…and when we did find fish, it was 99% dorado. That’s it. We should be deep in tuna, billfish, wahoo and others. And they are NOWHERE to be found. Sure, the occasional biter, but nothing worth mentioning. And the dorado are fun, but 5-20 pounders is the typical fish. Don’t get me wrong. Everyone who wants fish is getting fish, but this past week we could have used a bit more quantity as well as quality. (more and bigger). But that’s fishing.
We’re still getting some nice roosterfish up to about 50 pounds. All fish are getting released.
Add in a few bonito, jacks, pargo, cabrilla, triggerfish, snapper and way too many needlefish and that was pretty much our whole week. So, next week we’re gonna get geared-up for a big comeback!
For sure, there could be bubbling up. Late in the week, for the first time all season, we started landing some nice wahoo and sailfish also started showing up. Where have these been all year?
We got a full-moon on the rise, but our last full-moon turned out to be one of the best weeks of the month!
2021 BOOKINGS ALREADY FILLING!
Lots of dates for next year are already starting to fill, especially with amigos that had to cancel 2020 fishing trips. Don’t miss out! We’ve still got spots so contact us soon to get your favorite captains and hotel rooms! Also, if you’re waiting to see us at the sportsman’s shows like usual during the early part of the year, it looks like all the sportsman’s shows are being canceled as of right now. So, we won’t be hitting the road. Check us out at: http://www.tailhunter.com. Or write me directly at: tailhunterfishinglapaz@gmail.com
That’s our story!
