UP DOWN (AND SIDEWAYS) FISHING ACTION
La Paz – Las Arenas/ Bahia Muertos/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Mar. 28-April 6, 2023
MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT
A bit longer than normal because there was alot to catch up on, but hope you find it interesting!
THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

These barred pargo can be awfully tough to pull out’ve the rocks and are great fighters, but super tasty on the table, especially cooked up whole. Russ Osterstein was staying at Gary Wagner’s Rancho Costa at Bahia Muertos when he got this pair.

Katie Delsaso and her amiga have big smiles posing with this legit pair of spring-time yellowtail while at Rancho Costa.

John Saggese had only one day to squeeze in for fishing and hit one of the least windy days when he was out with Captain Armando from the Tailhunter Fleet in La Paz. The day paid off with this legit yellowtail.

Debbie Jackson got her crew of amigos out with us on one of those lucky days when the winds gave us a little brake and resulted in a nice variety of yellowtail, sierra, bonito and dorado.

Some great eating as this nice sierra ended up as fish tacos in La Paz. It was caught by Sara McCarthy fishing with the Tailhunter Fleet in La Paz just off Punta Arenas.
Sorry this one is once again later than usual!
For almost 30 years, I’ve tried to do these every week, but as many of you know, we’ve been on the road now for almost 4 months doing the fishing and hunting shows and just finished our more recent show in Long Beach CA at the Bart Hall Fishing & Boating Show. The reports are hard to do after 4 or 5 days talking in the booth for 10 hours or so and coming back to a hotel room or driving several hundred miles a day.
Well, I lost my voice about a month ago at the Pacific Coast Sportsmans Show…I still haven’t gotten it back fully and then came down with a case of bronchitis, a low-grade fever and several other crazy ailments from just a little too much wear-and-tear from all those road miles and shows.
On top of all that, well…
Even I get tired of saying there’s really been no fishing because it’s been windy and rough plus, I wanted to wait a tad until I at least had something to report.
So, that’s my excuse. And I’m sticking to it. We have one more show to do (more on that below) and plus the weather is getting better and the fishing season will soon kick in full-speed so we’ll get back to our regular schedule.
Plus…I’m headed home to La Paz finally! Gotta get fishing!
In a nutshell…Fishing is still up-and-down relative and dictated by how much wind is blowing and how rough the seas happen to be. Not much of anyone out fishing which is few and far between trying to figure out which days will be the least windy and even then fishing can be difficult or, in extreme cases, simply having to cancel the trips completely. More wind on the way.
However, in most years, as we get closer to May, the winds calm down. Right now, the trick is figuring which days the wind won’t blow because there are definitely some fish to be caught and if the winds finally abate, would not be surprised if fishing blows up nicely!
LAST SHOW FOR THE TAILHUNTER 2023 ROAD TOUR
What a great time we had at the Long Beach Convention Center last week at the Bart Hall Fishing & Boating Show. After a 3 year-hiatus, the show was great fun and thank you to so many of our friends who came by to say hi and book with us to visit in 2023!
Now…our last show of the year is something really different.
We’re headed to the NRA (National Rifle Assoc.) Meeting and Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana this week for a 3 day show April 14-16 (Friday/ Saturday/ Sunday). It seems like a short show and awfully far from any ocean, especially us in Mexico. However, they are expecting some 90,000 visitors from ALL OVER THE WORLD at the show. YEOW! So, this should be interesting.
If you’re in the area or even if you’re not, come check out this huge show and all the interesting exhibits!
Here’s more info. Click the link!
After that, we finally get to go home in La Paz and we’ll see ya’ll there!
Hope you and yours have a safe, happy and peaceful Easter!
That’s my story!

Hi ,
I’d like to get some information about your fishing charters. Wondering about some 2 or 3 days fishing packages to La Paz or Las Arenas with hotel transfer and not sur about air. I couldn’t find any direct flights from Houston or anywhere else in the United States, maybe you have some ideas. I’m looking to go with my 26 year old son sometime in July. Please let me know what’s possible.
Thanks,
Howard Hirsch

Hi Howard!
Good to hear from you. Can you send me an e-mail to Jonathan@tailhunter.com. There aren’t any direct flights from the U.S. to La Paz (not touristy enough!). Good to hear from TX. We have a house outside of Waco. Gotta fly into Cabo. Write me an e-mail and I can give you more info, amigo. Thanks for asking!
Jonathan
