STARTING THE NEW YEAR

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 31-Jan. 7, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WATER: Waters getting colder and greener. Still some blue warmer water around with some holdover warm water species like dorado. Overall choppy ocean.

WEATHER: Definitely got colder this past week. Also some very windy days that we had to pull boats off the water or advise folks not to fish or go snorkeling. Still sunny, but it felt more like winter finally.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: Dorado/ wahoo/ bonito/ jack crevalle/ bonito/ amberjack/ sierra/cabrilla

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Normally, Rich Collard is up in Michigan commercial fishing, but came down for a few days and knocked it out with a wahoo fishing with Captain Gerardo!

Just one day to fish, but Scott and Gerilynn Lehman got 3 nice dorado and had us prepare some of it at our Tailhunter Restaurant. Very unusual to find dorado in the winter!

Greg Earles striking one of his favorite fishing poses with another dorado for the box. Greg spent 3 weeks during his birthday with us and fished several times a week. He took him over 100 pounds of fillets to Michigan. Great guy to have visit!

Waters are getting cooler and more sierra showing up. Rich got this one on the troll. They are incredibly tasty for the table!

Rich and Greg had a nice day with Captain Gerardo!

We got through the first week of the new year and to cut to the chase…it got colder and a bit windier!

In fact, as you’re reading this, La Paz and a good portion of the Baja is going to get his with a jag of really cold weather (cold for Baja!) with temps down into the 50’s at night and never really getting much above the low 70’s and even a possibility of a bit of rain this week.

For sure, folks are keeping their jackets and sweatshirts handy.

Had to keep boats in a few days because of winter winds and the cold which are pretty typical this time of year, but we did get in 2 days of fishing for a scattered bite.

With waters getting colder, we’re seeing more sierra, amberjack, rainbow runners and jack crevalle as well as pargo, cabrilla and snapper for inshore fishing. Often, with winds blowing, that’s about as far as you’ll get from the beach because it’s too rough.

However there are still some patches of blue water holding dorado and over by the south end of Cerralvo, there’s a bite of wahoo that’s on-and-off. The biggest problem is being able to get across the channel from Bahia Muertos to the south end of the island. If the winds are blowing from the north and the chop is blasting, there’s just no way.

The winds and waves also make it problematic to procure live bait at times so we’ll have to troll. If the waves are pounding some of the beaches and rocky area, the guys can’t get into the shallows to throw the nets for live bait.

Now that the holidays are passed, town is getting quieter again. A nice time to be in town actually, but not always a good time to be on the water!

WE’RE ON THE ROAD!
