CRUMMY WEATHER – BUT FEW FISHERMEN

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Dec.2-10, 2025

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: As could be expected this time of the year, very erratic. Nice days puntuated by stretches of strong northern winds blowing folks off the water plus some heavy rainstorms that hit.

WATER: Definitely rougher, colder and cloudier from all the turbulence.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: If you could get out or did get out, sierra, pompano, trevally, jack crevalle, bonito, cabrilla and triggerfish.

THE MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

It rained hard enough to cause landslides and traffic jams from flooding plus clog up the cities drainage systems.

My windshield wipers are terrible. The sun cooks and dries them out most of the year so when it finally rains, they are just a tad above useless…like everyone else.

Well…if you’ve been reading my reports for any length of time, you know I don’t pull punches. Best to be honest and up-front. Especially when it comes to weather and fishing reports!

But the truth of things is that, there’s a good chance by the time you’re reading this, things will have changed. It doesn’t stay bad for long. The fish don’t shut down for long. There’s usually more good days than bad days and if you don’t like any particular report…just wait!

That being said, this just that time of year. It’s WINTER!

Although we usually don’t get the kind of rainstorm that hit La Paz a few days ago, we DO get the fierce northern winds and that has precipitated not going out on the water or outright, the port captain makes the decision for you and has shut down the port to all boat traffic. So, no fishing, diving, snorkeling, swimming with the whalehsharks, kayaking or even commercial boat traffic.

That’s the the straight story on things.

If you’re coming down, just be flexible in your schedule. Or scout the weather forecast ahead. If your first choice in days looks bad, at least be ready to change days.

Or ask me!!! Even if you’re booking with someone else, at least, I will give you an honest opinion before you spend your money or alternatively spend your money…got out..and get blown back to shore or seasick…or both!

Fortunately, since the last report, I didn’t have to cancel anyone because I didn’t book anyone because I warned folks about the weather. But, I heard folks who booked with other outfitters had issues.

Plus, we had this freaky heavy rainstorm that hit also! Crazy hard rain. It caused flooding and landslides. Traffic snarls and backed-up drains. Electrical outages and flood damage!

The fish that were caught are from reports that I got from local friends and commercial fishermen who were able to get out for a few hours here and there. No one really venturing too far from shore or these are friends who fish commercially so that have to go out on the water to feed their families.

The forecast for the coming week shows warmer temps in the low 80’s, but strong winds again, especially in the afternooons.

If you want to fish, reach out to me and I’ll look at the forecast. Also give us a few days so we can check which days would be better. We might not be able to fish out with our La Paz fleet, but we can most likely fish you with our fleet at Las Arenas because the area is more protected.

JILL AND I HIT THE ROAD!

It’s road tour time again and we’re excited. This will be 31 years for Tailhunter and maybe 40 if you count the other companies I repped back in the day.

These shows are great for the whole family with all kinds of vendors from around the world of hunting, fishing, camping, RV’s, travel plus equipment, gear and so much more!

We will be on the road from January through March and hopefully close enough to wherever you live to come visit us!

Jilly and I will be in booth every day. Come bay and say hi and let’s get you set up to come fishing this year in La Paz! Or better yet, don’t wait. Reservations are already coming in and dates are starting to full. Get in touch with us. We don’t want to miss you!

WINDS SHUT DOWN BAY – HAMPERS ACTIVITY

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Nov. 21-Dec. 1, 2025

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WEATHER: Quite a temperature range. As high as low 80’s, but more likely the high 70’s but cooling down to the lower 60’s. Big issue were the northern winds we get this time of year. Blew pretty hard and the port of La Paz was closed a majority of the week to all boat traffic because of the rough waters outside that bay. That meant all fishing, snorkeling, scuba, whaleshark, as well as commercial activity was shut down or cancelled on that side. Even got some rain this past week as well.

WATER: Ocean conditions are predicated by the rest of the weather and with the northern winds becoming more prevalent, waters are cooling as reflected in the fish that were hooked when the winds calmed down enough to get out on the water. If the wind is blowing, it’s pretty rough!

SPECIES HOOKED THIS WEEK: Sierra, trevally, pompano, amberjack, bonito, jack crevalle, roosterfish, snapper, pargo, cabrilla, triggerfish, dorado

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

A good day for 3 generations of the Taylor men! Grandpa Jim, Trent and son Massi from San Diego.

Captain Jorge is getting ready to filet a nice batch of tasty sierra for John, Tyler and Justin that got taken to our Tailhunter Restaurant for dinner.

Oh the joy! Jim Taylor gives grandson Massi an assist with his roosterfish!

BAM! A roosterfish in winter? Photographic proof and a big smile from 13-year-old Massi with his grandpa Jim. The fish was released.

Nice variety of good eating fish for George Diwachak with Aiden and Andrew Coon. I see sierra, a dorado, cabrilla and several pargo/snapper!

Our amigo, Jimmy Williams went to the north end of Cerralvo with friends and did a banner day on sierra and palometa (trevally).

Proud dad, Trent with Massi’s bull dorado on the beach!

___________________________________

Hope ya’ll had a great Thanksgiving!

As is typical this time of year, the northern winds were blowing, but this particular week, they really kicked in. So, for the majority of the week, the port captains shut down the port to all boat traffic for safety reasons.

Really tough luck for so many visitors in town for Thanksgiving week, but the closure meant all fishing, snorkeling, scuba, whaleshark and other boating activities had to be cancelled. Even commercial boat traffic was shut down.

Often, it’s difficult for visitor to understand because at times, the waters in the bay don’t look too bad. What they don’t understand is that outside the bay, it could (and was) incredibly rough and precarious.

Fortunately, we simply don’t put out many fishermen from November to April so we didn’t have to cancel any of our fishing trips. Additionally, we have our other fleet at Las Arenas and were able to get a few trips out. The area tends to be more sheltered from the northern winds and fishing spots can be found without having to go too far.

Judging by the catches, the winter water conditions have arrived with cooler ocean currents reflected in the nice catches of sierra, pargo, cabrilla, snapper and other cooler water species we tend to find during the winter months. However, there must still be some warm water patches as a few stray dorado were hooked in the channel and some roosterfish were still found along the beaches.

RESERVATIONS for 2026
