WINDY QUIET TIMES FOR FISHING

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Feb. 16-Mar. 1, 2024

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Commercial mix of fish…jackk crevalle, an amberjack even two smaller dorado.

Typical inshore catch. Again from one of our commercial fishing amigos. Two barred pargo and a yellow snapper. Great eating!

I know this week’s report is REALLY late, but I was kinda holding out.

I was hoping that there would be a break in the winds or that there would be something exciting to write about other than the usual boring winter reports about strong winds; rough seas and non one fishing.

But, that’s just the way it is and I couldn’t hold out any longer. We actually did have a booking or two the past two weeks, but had to cancel all of them because of the weather. As one of the prospective anglers wrote to me, “I’m glad you warned us about the weather. We had planned to take the family out for an easy day of fishing, but I’m writing this looking at the ocean and it’s all white caps and rough! Thanks for the FYI!”

There’s some fish to be caught but if you can’t get out because of the weather, it’s pretty typical this time of year. That’s why we say that November to April is off-season. The winsurfers and kiteboarder love it, but for fishing, not so much!

The few reports I’m getting are from friends that are commercial fishermen who tell me that they are hooking some yellowtail, amberjack, sierra, plus the usual rock fish like cabrilla, snapper and pargo. There have been a few dorado still being caught and a few tuna hookups near Cerralvo Island, but that’s about it. Quiet times mostly.

Reservations for our regular season from late April to October, however, are rolling in every day. After the last two years since Covid, fishing has been pretty spectacular and I think everyone is excited to get in on it again for 2024. Get in touch with me directly if you want to come visit us this year. My personal e-mail is jonathan@tailhunter.com Don’t wait, dates are filling up pretty fast.

As a matter of fact, we’ll be making our own S.California appearance this coming week from Mar. 7-10 at the Pacific Coast Sportfishing Show at the Orange Co. Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa.

We’ve been on the road now some 3 months and have had some crazy great shows in Dallas, Reno, Nashville and Salt Lake City. We really miss not being able to attend some other shows in S.Cal and some of our other favorite areas but we’re really looking forward to this week at the PCS show. It’s gonna be huge and all your favorites will be there. I hear is now takes up 7 of the massive exhibition halls. Check out the video:

This will be our final show of the 2024 season before heading home to La Paz to kick things off. Hope you can join us. Jilly and I will be in the booth every day and it would be great to see you!
