La Paz – Las Arenas/ Bahia Muertos/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 17-25, 2023
MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT
BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…
Still no one fishing because of the wind and cold.
We actually did have a few reservations, but in all cases either the winds shut things down or the clients took our advice. They looked at the conditions and decided not to go out after all! Smart thinking!
WHALES IN MAG BAY!
However, being whale watching season, we’ve got our whale watching season well underway as we take clients out to the Pacific side at the north end of Bahia Magdalena. This is where the whales congregate during the winter in the warm shallow waters of the bay to mate and also give birth before returning north to the Bering Sea. Lots of whales this year and clients have been having a great time!
Check out some of the videos and images!
THANK YOU NASHVILLE AND HEADED BACK TO SO CAL!
Just finishing up a most fantastic week in Nashville TN for the Safari Club International Convention and Expo held in downtown Nashville. Being our first time at this event, we didn’t quite know what to except.
However, the turnout and fun far exceeded anything we could have imagined! We had folks flying in from Europe, Canada, Alaska and South America and I talked to probably folks from 20 or 30 states with something close to 20,000 attendees over 4 days. There were hunting and fishing booths from over 100 countries exhibiting!
We met and booked so many new and old amigos to come fishing with us this year and just wanted to give a shout-out to Nashville for all the hospitality!
But now…flying back to S. California to the Costa Mesa Fairgrounds in Orange Co. for the Pacific Coast Sportsman’s Show. It’s supposed to be the entire fairgrounds with over 500 vendors and exhibits so it should be a hoot for the entire family.
Jill and I will be in the booth from Thursday to Sunday so come see us and let’s get you set up for fishing in La Paz in 2023! We are filling up fast!
La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 8-15, 2023
MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ FISHING REPORT
THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…
Not much to report from La Paz. I wish I did!
A good portion of the week, the port captain shut things down for the port because the winds made it too precarious to be out on the water. So, that meant no boat traffic coming or going. Pretty hard to fish or do much else when you can’t get on a boat. Even after the port was opened, most operators and outfitters in town had already cancelled scheduled trips not knowing when the port captain would open things up again. So, unless you were a windsurfer or kite boarder, you really didn’t have many options except sit by your hotel pool with a cold one.
We don’t usually have many bookings between November and April because of the rough weather, but the few we had this week all had to be cancelled because of the winds.
THE PARTY IS BACK!
For the first time in years, they’re bringing back the the La Paz Carnaval!
It’s going to be a mega-party lasting until next Tuesday with food, rides, parades, concerts and the biggest street fair of the year. After being shut down for covid, the town is ready to bust out for carnaval.
The parades go right by our Tailhunter Restaurant and having multiple stories, we have a great grandstand to the fun on the street!
If you’re in town this week, come by and come down to enjoy th festivities!
GREAT TO BE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AGAIN!
After a month of shows in snow, winds, ice, rain and hail, it’s nice to be back in Southern California again and see the beach and put on the shorts and flip-flops!
From Thursday to Sunday, we’ll be in our booth at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego right on the beach for the Bart Hall Fishing and Boating Show. You may remember these as the Fred Hall Shows. After a 3 year-hiatus, the shows are back and we’re excited to be back for the first of 4 shows in Southern Cal. So, come out and say hi and let’s set you up for visiting us in La Paz in 2023!
That’s our story!

La Paz – las ARenas/ Muertos Bay/ Bahia Suenos Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 1-7, 2023
MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT
THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…
It’s sounding like a broken record lately, but often, it’s important to report what is NOT happening so folks get the whole picture.
Basically, fishing was NOT happening this past week, but it has not really been happening for weeks as winds kept things rough and blustery as often happens between November and April. It’s off-season specifically for that reason. It’s too rough to be out unless you’re a windsurfer or kiteboarder.
However, this past week even witnessed rainfall as well on-and-off for two days.
Just being honest. I tell everyone before they book with us this time of year that weather can be “iffy.” We had folks interested in fishing and others who were hoping to get out diving and snorkeling. In all situations, when we saw the weather forecasts, we told them it was not going to happen.
This coming week doesn’t look much better. Although there’s no rain in the extended forecast, as of this writing, the port captain has shut down all boat traffic until further notice . That means no boat traffic is allowed in or out of the harbor because of the winds.
Hopefully, things will calm down a bit soon because we do know that there’s fish to be caught. That includes dorado, sierra, jacks, yellowtail, pargo, snapper, cabrilla and even some wahoo. However, as long as there are storms happening north of the border, it will have an effect on the weather down in our areas.
WHALESHARK SEASON CANCELLED
Swimming with the whalesharks will have to wait this year. Normally, the season runs October to April. However, because of lack of animals, the season wasn’t even opened until December.
Normally, the animals are hanging out in the shallow waters of La Paz Bay. However, because there are so few whalesharks, the remainder of the whaleshark season has been suspended until further notice.
THANK YOU SALT LAKE CITY!
Good to see old friends and meet new ones at the Western Hunt Show. Our amigos here are all celebrating the fact that all of them will be coming to see us this June!
Thank you to everyone who came to visit us at the massive Western Hunting Expo in downtown Salt Lake City. Wow! What a great show and so great to chat with so many of you. Estimates that almost 50,000 attendees came to the show over 4 days! Just incredible. Here we are re-packing our booth.
We are now on the road having left the snows of Salt Lake City and headed towards S. California for the Bart Hall Fishing & Boating Show in San Diego at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
After a 3 year hiatus, the Hall Shows are back and everyone is excited. This will be the first of 3 shows in S.California and we hope to see you there!
So, we’re brushing off the snow and headed to sunny So. Cal!
