La Paz – Las Arenas/ Bahia Muertos/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 1-7, 2022
MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT
THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…
Keith Williams stuck this nice forkie yellowtail along with bonito and cabrilla. Thanks for the photo BM!
Folks think that if there’s crazy weather in the U.S. that somehow it stops at the border. On the contrary, weather doesn’t stop at border. If things are happening in the U.S., it definitely affects things in Mexico. Accordingly, winds continued from the north although there were some spots here and there where the winds gave us some breaks and allowed a few moments of fishing. They were rare and you had to pick your spots.
However, in addition the usual inshore species like snapper, cabrilla and jacks, some beefy yellowtail started to show up. The usual spots at the north and south ends of Cerralvo Island and off Punta Perico held some nice fish in the 15-25 pound class. The fish were willing to chew sardines, mackerel as well as yo-yo and knife jigs. Slow trolled mackerel-colored Rapalas also kicked in a few bites. Some larger fish were lost insofar as these fish are around structure like rocks and reefs and after a slamming stike, they freight-train back to cover easily busting and cutting lines.
Hopefully, this is the start of a nice yellowtail season if the winds give us more breaks. This coming week, actually looks like the winds will dial back a bit. Not ideal, but more fishable than it has been for any extended period.
ROAD DIARY 2022
Just finishing up another good show here at the Washington State Fairgrounds for the Washington Sportsmans Show. So great to see so many old friends and Tailhunter Nation! Thanks for coming by and we’re looking forward to seeing many of you who reserved spots to come see us this year in La Paz!
By the time you’re reading this, we’ll be on the road and zooming to our next show which is the huge Western Hunt and Conservation Show at the Salt Palace downtown in Salt Lake City UT. This will be possibly the largest show on our 2022 road tour and it’s ALWAYS fun and one of the most dynamic shows in which we exhibit.
Check out this video I made from the 2022 show before the shutdowns…
It runs from Thursday to Sunday and we’d love to see you if you’re in the area. If not, don’t wait to make your reservations to come see us for fishing this year. Dates are filling up rapidly. We’ve done shows in Reno, Sacramento, Washington and now headed to Utah. Many dates are selling out so get in touch with us so we don’t miss you!
WHALEWATCHING SEASON KICKS OFF!
It’s been breezy in Bahia Magdalena for the whalewatching this year, but on the calm days, the whales have been more than cooperative to come visit with the boaters!
Someone needs a nose scratch!
The grey whales have shown up for their annual migration from the Bering Sea to spend the winter months in the warm waters at Bahia Magdalena. It’s a pretty incredible experience to see and interact with these magnificent animals in the shallow bay.
Don’t miss out another year. Get in touch with us to set up your once-in-a-lifetime experience. The whales usually stick around until mid or late March!
