TYPICAL WEATHER…ATYPICAL FISHING!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Jan. 10-16, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER – Mostly in the 70’s and sunny. Northern winds came back up and we had to cancel a few trips for fishing; snorkeling and swimming with the whalesharks.

WATER – If the winds are blowing, you really don’t wanna be out. Just not worth it.

WIND – Up to 25 mph gusts from the north. We had only 2 days of the week that could have been available.

SPECIES HOOKED THIS WEEK – Tuna, yellowtail, marlin, dorado, sierra, cabrilla, bonito

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Definitely NOT fishing in Canada! Josh puts the gaff to a yellowfin tuna. Josh is from Vancouver.

They had just one day to fish, but Captain Victor pout Josh, Chris and Lyanna onto a good day of fishing including this unusual striped marlin that we rarely ever see in the winter months! The fish could not be released.

A great photo with big smiles and a pretty fish! Lyanna and Captain Victor with a nice bull dorado!

Yup! Let’s get these fish packed up and on ice! Great day on the water and an unusual catch!

_______________________

Pretty typical winter stuff this past week.

We had a few folks ask to go out and after showing them the weather forcast wisely decided to sit it out or we had a few that decided to give it a try and we ended up having to cancel because of the winds. This was for some folks that wanted to fish, but also some folks that wanted to snorkel and some that wanted to swim with the whalesharks. On several occasions, we canceled and re-booked only to have the winds cut us down and disappoint.

But, that’s the way it is during the winter. And with all the frigid arctic winter weather taking place in the U.S. this week, it’s gonna have an effect on Baja with cooler temperatures and overall higher winds.

That doesn’t mean there’s no fish.

What it means is that you need to carefully pick and choose the dates you go out on the water. Check with several days in advance or up to a week in advance to I can check the extended forecast and you can make an informed decision.

We did have some folks actually get out one day. It was the only day they had to squeeze it in during their vacation. They picked well.

They got dorado, tuna, and even a marlin! That’s crazy fishing because none of these fish are typical winter-time fish. The catch was even more remarkable because they had very little fishing experience and came down all the way from Canada!

We also know there are fish around because we have friends that are commercial fishermen. They don’t have a choice. They need to make a living no matter the weather. They inform us that there are yellowtail up to about 25 pounds around the high spots of the island.

There are also a few wahoo, tuna and regular inshore fish like pargo, cabrilla and snapper mixed in with sierra.

But, really just not that many folks on the water during the winter.

DID SOMEONE SAY WILD SHEEP?

Jill and I just finished our first show of the season at the Dallas Safari Club Convention held at the Dallas Convention Center and it was 4 incredible days in the booth. Maybe one of the best shows we have had in the more than 30 years of shows we have done.

Thank you everyone who came by to chat with us about coming down to see us in La Paz and especially to everyone who made reservations for 2024. We’re gonna have a great time and we’re looking forward to your visit!

One special event we were invited to by our good friends Kip and Sue Slaugh was the Weatherby Firearms Awards Banquet and Auction. A fantastic black-tie event and I don’t get dressed up for nothing! We had a great time and it was fun getting dressed up and sharing time with our friends and hob-nobbing with celebrities in the hunting industry!

But now, as I write this, we’re on our way to Reno, Nevada. We’ll that’s where we’re trying to go. We’ve been stuck in the airport in Dallas because all the flights around the country seem to have been cancelled because of the winter storms. But, we hope to be on our way by the time you’re reading this!

We’ll be at the:

WILD SHEEP CONVENTION AND SPORTS EXPO

RENO-SPARKS CONVENTION CENTER

Jan. 18th-20th (Thursday to Sunday)

Jilly and I will be in the booth every day and would love to talk to you about coming down fishing with us this year. C’mon by and say hi. There’s so much to see at this show if you like fishing, hunting, camping or anything outdoors!
