FISH BITING BETWEEN WINDS

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Bahia Suenos Fishing Report and Update for Jan. 25-Feb. 5, 2026

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WEATHER: About what you’d expect this time of year. Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 60’s to lower 70’s in the day. Night temps in the high 50’s. Can get very windy, especially in the later mornings and afternoons with 15-20 mph gusts.

WATER: We think it’s chilly, but vistors probably really like that it’s about 67-71 degrees on the surface. At thermocline can drop another 5-8 degrees. Typically, this is the coolest ocean temps of the year.

FISH HOOKED RECENTLY: Sierra, bonito, pargo, cabrilla, snapper, jack crevalle, yellowtail, rainbow runner, trevally, tuna, wahoo, roosterfish

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT and TAILHUNTER UPDATES

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY

Something you don’t see alot of this time of year with Chris who found some days without so much wind. One…we don’t usually see roosterfish this time of year. Secondly, he did it with his flyrod! The fish was released.

Water temps right now are on the cool side only 67-71 degrees. Usually, the coolest of the year in February, but there must be some patches of warmer stuff because dorado like water closer to 80 degrees! Chris found this nice bull of Bahia Muertos.

________________________________

It’s been pretty much your typical winter conditions.

Waters are surely cooler and not as blue with surface temps hovering around 67-71 degrees. (We think it’s really cold!) Off the water, it’s pretty pleasant. The snow-birds and visitors will love that it’s mostly sunny with day time temps between 65 and the low 70’s. Night temps in the mid-50’s. Still good to keep a hoodie or similar handy.

The problem is the winds. Still getting some gusty days hitting 15-20 knots, especially in the later mornings and afternoons. That’s the issue because during the winter, the winds can make it pretty rough on the water and if strong enough can make it precarious. In worst-case scenarios, the port captain has been shutting down the port completely to all boat traffic which affects not only the prospects of fishing, but diving, snorkeling, kayaking, whalesharks and other activities.

That being said…

If you can find the windows when the winds aren’t kicking so hard, the conditions can be pretty nice and the fishing fairly surprising with a number of species willing to bend a rod.

The typical cold-water species like sierra, pargo, cabrilla, snapper, yellowtail and amberjack are around as well as some surprising bites from smaller inshore roosterfish and even the occasional dorado or tuna if you can get through the schools of bonito which can still be really fun. Bonito pull pretty hard!

But that’s the key is finding that sweet spot in the weather. Even if can get out, it’s no fun getting bounced around, wet, cold and worse…seasick. Especially true with families.

But, if you check with us, we can give you an honest opinion of the upcoming weather and we do have some spots to fish where it’s more protected from the winds and fish can be found without heading out too far!

TAILHUNTER ROAD TOUR 2026…to Salt Lake City then Nashville!

Jilly and I just wrapped up our January road tour with two fantastic shows. First, we were in Sacramento at the International Sportsman’s Expo at the California State Fairgrounds for a 4 days show.

We followed that up with the Wild Sheep Expo and Convention at the Reno Convention Center in Reno, NV. That was a 3 day show and was off-the-hook fun as well.

We want to give a shout and thank eveyrone who came by the booth and also a big thanks to everyone who came and signed up to come see us this year in La Paz! It’s gonna be a fun year for sure!

So…now we’re on our way to Salt Lake City, Utah for one of the largest shows on our calendar. It’s at the Salt Palace Convention Center downtown for the Western Hunt and Conservation Expo.

This show is massive and something like 50-60,000 folks will show up to check out more than 600 exhibitors and vendors from all over the world with charters, safaris, hunts, boat trips, camping, trekking, RV’s, gear and so much more. Every year, this is one of our busiest shows and we see so many friends who come in from many surrounding states!

Check out a video I put together:

Sure hope you can make it. Here’s more info:

After we wrap things up in Salt Lake City, we head to Nashville for the big Safari Club International Show.

By the way…the reservations are coming in daily and dates are filling up! Let us know if we can set up your fishing trip in La Paz this year so we don’t miss you! You can write me directly at:

I’ll get right back to you!

That’s our story. Hope to see you down the road!
