La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of June 24- July 1, 2021

MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Enrique was the first big storm of the season. It started as a hurricane, but thankfully petered to a tropical storm by the time it hit La Paz.

Enrique did alot more damage to the south of us along mainland Mexico. By the time it hit La Paz it was alot milder.

By the time Enrique hit La Paz it had lost of of it’s force, but enough to bring several days of strong winds.

…and enough rain to get things wet and lose electrical power in La Paz for a few hours.

We launch our Las Arenas boats in Bahia Muertos / Suenos and this is what it normally looks like 99% of the time.

This is what Bahia Muertos looked like several days this week as a result of Enrique.

Our Utah amigo, Jason Kocherans makes a great photo of this great roosterfish caught just off the beach at Las Arenas. The Arenas lighthouse is in the distance. The fish was released.

Captain Victor with Brian Tippie with his uncle Ron Tippie who came all the way from Illinois and started their fishing week with a trio of bull dorado.

Our long-time Tailhunter amigo, Terry Biggs from northern California with a nice cabrilla to put in the fish box.

Great shot and a colorful bull dorado for Dave Martin who always seems to get a trophy fish every time he visits us from Utah.

Jason has another rooster off the surf. Great colors! The fish was released.

Dave Martin has another big boy rooster in the boat taken with live bait before the photo and release.

The week started well-enough.

We were catching fish. The marlin were still blowing up nicely to the point of being bothersome. Big roosterfish were still prowling the beach. Our pangas were coming back daily with some nice dorado mixed with pargo, cabrilla, jacks, triggers, bonito and other species.

It was going pretty well.

Until Enrique showed up on the radar down the coast. We watched it slowly make its way up the coast. Initially, it started as a Category 1 hurricane. It did a bit of battering the mainland Mexico coast to the south of us with flooding, rains, high seas and big winds.

With each day it moved closer to us from the south. Some predictions had it missing us. Others had our directly in its path. By the time it reached us mid-week, it had lost much of it’s force and had diminished to a tropical storm.

Ultimately, it wasn’t too bad. We had to cancel the fishing for 3 days as big waves, gusting winds and intermittent rain hit us. But no real damage or flooding. It was just enough to keep everyone indoors and the boats on trailers or on the beach. We were lucky. We’ve seen what big hurricanes can do over the years.

However, we don’t know what the after-effects will be. At the time of this writing, we’re just getting back on the water. Normally, it takes a few days for the waters to settle down again. It takes a few days for the water to clear up. It takes a few days for the fish to get back on track. It all depends on how much the winds and water-run-off affected the water.

We’ll just have to see. The week looks like we could still be in for a bit of wind on the backside of the storm.

By the way, not as many…in fact NONE…no marlin photos this week compared to the previous week. There’s several reasons for that. The marlin were biting pretty crazy again, but for one, pretty much all the fish got released and just no one really took photos. Or, the marlin broke off and no one took photos! But, we definitely had marlin swimming around again this week…at least before the storm came through.

PEZ GRINGO GROUP

This group of our amigos has been coming to see us for about 20 years. All the do is fish hard for roosterfish. And they DO know how to fish ’em. This year, only 3 of them made the trip. Donnie Willson, Ron Burgess and Dave Lester. All of them are from Temecula CA.

Several years ago, they caught and released one rooster that many observers theorized would have broken the 114-pound world record.

This year…

Over 4 days, they caught AND RELEASED 16 roosterfish. Three guys…

In other years, they have caught more roosters. However, as they told me, they told me they have never caught so many BIG roosterfish. Check out the photos of some of their fish. I think their smallest fish were in the 40-pound class. Their largest…maybe around the 100-pound mark.

Hi Jon. We live in Punta Chivato. Thinking about coming down to bay of dreams we have been there before. Punta Arena interests us. We usually tow our boat with a rv. This time we have our truck. Is there any reasonable places to stay there? Wont be camping. Need a room or hotel. For a couple of nights. There was no hotel last time at b of. Dreams. Thanks. Craig and Theresa Cove.

  Hi Craig!
  
  Good to hear from you. I guess it depends on “reasonable.” Gary Wagner’s place is several thousand a night. A few of the houses there go for several hundred a night (at least). The Gran Sueno might be an option, but I think they’re about 200 a night. All personally over my own pay-grade. But, there’s a lot of folks who don’t have an issue with those prices. But, those are the only ones I know there! Sorry not to be more help.
