NICER WEATHER BUT TOUGHER FISHING LAST WEEK!

(…BUT WAIT…SOMETHING HAPPENED JUST BEFORE I POSTED THIS! HURRICANE COMING)

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Bahia Suenos Fishing Report for Week of Sept. 15-22, 2026

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WEATHER: Some of the prettiest weather we’ve had in weeks.  Sunny and warm, but not crazy 120-130 degree weather like the previous weeks.  More like 95 during the day with less humidity. A few passing thunderstorms, but nothing big or flooding .

WATER:  Mostly pretty flat and calm, but 10-15 degrees warmer than normal ranging from 90-95 degrees on the surface.  Great to swim.  Not so great for fishing.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK (Not necessarily landed):  Dorado (mucho little guys), tuna (3- none landed), wahoo (1 not landed), sailfish (1 – not landed), 2 marlin (not landed), dog-tooth snapper (lost most of them in the rocks), pargo, rainbow runner, triggerfish, bonito (lots of them)

BOTTOM LINE:  Scale of 1-10, I give it a 2.  Everyone catching fish and lots of action, but not much quality fish. Tons of bonito, but tough on dorado.

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Our Canadian friends, Vern and dad Gerry Eichhorn pulled on several big dog-tooth snapper and finally got this one out’ve the rocks . Great eating and difficult fish!

Always great to have Doug Nuffer from Utah visiting us. This time, he brought daughter Maddie. First day with Captain Gerardo produced some nice dorado action .

Armando with our good friend from Colorado, Brett Bleichrodt and his roosterfish (released)

Texas in town! Rob and Coley Taylorand Tyler Knutson with some trophy barred pargo and some schoolie dorado.

Always good to see Curtis and Connor White with us.

Tailhunter friends for several decades, David and Michele Conklin with a double-rooster hook up. Both fish were released.

Joe Moreno, Captain Armando and Josh Moreno visiting us for the first time hit 3 days of action. Really great guys!

 

Warner Phipps visiting us for the first time with one of his dorado. Warner came to us from Colorado.

Peggy Albee from Montana. She and husband Ron were great fun all week even though the fishing was tough. She has a fine triggerfish here.

__________FISHING REPORT PART ONE ____________

OK…I had to break out the fishing report into a weird format this week.  Just was I was about to publish (it takes a few days to put these together) a bunch of things happened and it was too late to change what I already had or re-do another video.  So read Part One…then go to Part Two and Part Three…

Since the last report, we had more changes to navigate.

After weeks of localized rains and thunderstorms that hit almost every day somewhere in the area and sometimes causing some big flooding problems, we hit some of the prettiest days I have seen in a long time.

Instead of 115-130 degree weather we got more manageable days that produced relatively “cooler” temps in the low 90’s with lots of bright sunshine.  Occasionally, there were some showers in the mountains or parts of the bay, but otherwise we could not have asked for better weather.

But, true to form, the unexpected hit.  You would think we had super fishing conditions.  Well, that’s so…

…but the fishing got even worse!

For the most part alot of tiny dorado…a few rockfish…roosterfish…and that was all.

These dorado were maybe 5-pound fish on the average!  So many were released.  Some days they were all around.  Other days they had to really look for them.  But nothing really to write home about or take photos, let alone much to take home to the freezers.

Again, we think with this SUPER EL NINO, the waters are just way too warm to sustain any of the larger fish.  With ocean temps up to 94 degrees, that’s just 10 or more degrees warmer than normal.  That’s not bath water.  That’s jazuzzi water.  Great to swim, but not so great for the fish as the heat depletes the oxygen supply to the fish.  We think the bigger fish have all gone down deep to cooler waters that are more oxygenated and only come up when they really need to to grab something to eat.

I’m actually hearing this in many places along the Sea of Cortez.  Fishing is just sticky (stinky?).

It is what it is and it seems every week or every day there is another change we have had to deal with this season.  Just trying to always be honest about things.

__________FISHING REPORT PART TWO________________

Just as I was about to publish the report above lamenting the lame fishing…yet another surprise change!

Our Tailhunter Fleets at Las Arenas hit some quality yellowfin tuna.  These were a nice grade of fish in the 20-50 pound class.  After a super tuna bite from May to July, we had not seen tuna since the last week of July!

Then, they left…but check these out…

Maddie and Doug were with Captain Gerardo

Gerry and Vern Eichhorn were fishing with Captain Victor

____________FISHING REPORT PART THREE_____________

Once again, I was just about to publish all the info above with the new vidoe and WHAM!  Hurricane Polo shows up to the south of us!  It’s looking pretty angry…

Here’s the deal…

In a matter of hours it ramped-up from  a tropical storm…to a full hurricane…then kept growing into a Category 5 storm!  That’s the highest biggest hurricane rating they have with winds approaching 200 mph!

As of the moment I am writing this, Polo is moving slowly north. It is already impacting parts of mainland Mexico.  Currently, the eye will NOT hit Baja.

However, the peripheral storm bands have us all watching carefully.

We’ve dodged 5 hurricanes this year that either drifted out to the Pacific or went up the coast to California (sorry Socal!).

The bands of Polo are still likely to hit us with heavy rains, high surf, strong winds and big waves.

…or it could completely miss us.

..or it could change directions suddenly like Hurricane Odile in 2014 that reversed course and blew southern Baja off the map.

It’s going to be an interesting next week.  As of today (Wednesday) reports say that Cabo San Lucas will start closing the port/marina for the next 5 days.  We’re pretty sure that La Paz will probably do so in the next few days as well.

The next few days will tell, but as of right now, that’s the story.

And that’s MY story!

SCHOOL DORADO & ROOSTERFISH WITH WEATHER BETTER…sort of…

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Bahia Suenos for Week of Sept. 5-13, 2026

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER:  Thankfully a good 10-20 degrees cooler than the last report.  Daytime temps are mostly in the mid-90’s.  Still getting rainstorms somewhere here and there in the afternoons.

WATER:  Mostly calm when it’s not raining, but fishable.  Problem is the water is over 90 degrees and that’s 10 degrees hotter than normal.  Oxygen levels for the fish is better down in cooler waters.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK:  baby dorado, roosterfish, 2 sailfish, 1 marlin, 2 tuna,  1 wahoo, bonito (lots of them), jacks, pompano, pargo, triggerfish

FISHING ON A SCALE of 1-10: 3

THE MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Kelley Burch and Michelle Zelvis from N. Carolina were visiting us for the first time for Michelle’s birthday. Day one proved productive with some dorado and a nice yellowfin tuna with Captain Victor in the background. Note the angry clouds building in the back!

Don Vargo from Ohio has fished with us twice this year and for several other years. I was suprised that he had never hooked a roosterfish, but he got one this time. The fatty was released before the rain came down later that day.

Just too happy! Kristin Lamb with one of her dorado is pretty pleased! Kristin just had one day to fish but called it the “best fishing day ever.” She’s from Colorado.

Matt Clark came over from Mexico City where he works for the U.S. Embassy as a Lt. Colonel in the army. He squeezed in two days on the flyrod and nailed this dandy catch-and-release roosterfish.

Wyatt Bennett from Washington State and his dad, Travis, who lives in Utah were together with us for a few days and show off one of their roosters for a photo and release.

Texas in the house! Good to have Pierce and Eddie Edwards back with us. They’re posing with 2 of the larger dorado of the week. They also released a sailfish and lost a wahoo that day that broke the line at the boat .

 

Captain Moncho put Kristin on one of the larger roosterfish of the week which made her pretty happy. Great photo! She did release the fish.

These bonito are incredibly strong! Hunter Hoshiko visiting to fish just one day from Greeley, CO ending up busting two flyrods fishing on bonito!

 

Matt with bonito and flyrod!

__________________________________
I suppose relatively speaking we had a better week overall than the previous week.
1.  It got cooler.  We had temps in the 120’s and 130’s for several weeks, but it “cooled” off down to the mid-90’s most days.
2.  We still got some heavy rains almost daily, but they mostly tapered off to afternoon thundershowers.  A few of them were pretty stout affairs, but most came and went within an hour with only localized flooding and only in certain areas.  All the rain was mostly in the afternoons when everyone was already off the water.
3.  We never had to cancel any fishing trips.  Everyone fished as scheduled.
With the mostly better weather, I would have to say that fishing was better.
But the bar wasn’t that high and the fishing wasn’t that great to begin with.
According to my captains, the biggest issue is that while the air temps have cooled off, the water temperatures rain incredibly high.  We’re recording surface ocean temperatures between 90-94 degrees!  That is simply unheard of and a good 10 or more degrees warmer than normal no doubt a result of the Super El Nino weather conditions being experienced this year resulting in abnormally warm waters around our side of the Pacific Ocean.
What we’re seeing is mostly only small dorado of less than 5 pounds in the water mixed with bonito and a few jacks.
…and that’s kind of it.   And some days even catching the small dorado is mind-blowingly difficult.
Fortunately, the bonito are providing some rod-bending action, but some days, we’re averaging only 1-2 dorado per angler and these fish are about 18-24 inch babies we’re calling “Trodo” (trout-sized dorado).
Overall, some of the most difficult fishing I have ever seen in 30 years here.  We did hook a few tuna and a few billfish and we lost a wahoo, but generally speaking the small dorado have been about it.
We theorize that the warm waters just don’t have enough oxygen for the larger fish which have gone to deeper and cooler waters where the oxygen is more plentiful.  The smaller fish simply don’t require as much oxygen.  Consequently, the larger fish we’ve hooked were only up on the surface to feed coming up from the deeper waters.
From what I’m hearing this same phenomenon is happening up and down the lower Baja regions and into the Sea of Cortez.   I think it will stay like this unti the ocean cools off.
If there’s a golden lining, dorado are are among the fastest growing fish in the ocean and these like punk schoolie fish will gain 10 pounds each or more in the next few months.
We can only hope.
That’s our story!

WEATHER and DAILY RAIN DICTATING THE FISHING

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Bahia Suenos Fishing Report for Aug. 25-Sept. 4, 2026

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WEATHER:  Erratic and unpredictable . Hot and humid.  Had a stretch there were the temps (with the heat index) had us at 125-137 degrees some days.  It got cooler a bit, but temps are still 110 with the humidity.  Rain almost daily in the afternoons.  Sometime torrential and violent, but not lasting long.

WATER:  Warm!!  VERY WARM!  Have never seen water that’s 90-95 degrees on the surface!  Some days can be rough if the winds are blowing and other days flat.  Later in the day when the rains come so do the winds and rough ocean, but by then we’re off the water.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK:  Dorado, tuna (2), roosterfish, jack crevalle, bonito, barred pargo, cabrilla.

THE MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Clark Henderson from Washington with grandpa Jim Borruso from Northern California got a mess of schoolie dorado and a nice yellowfin tuna.

From Ohio, Don Vargo (r) has fished with us several times this year already but brough brother Mike this time and they started with some trophy barred pargo and dorado for the freezers!

Darrell Atkinson and Captain Armando with a reason to celebrate this yellowfin tuna!

Justin, Jeff, Travis and Wyatt Bennett with dorado, triggerifsh and pargo on the cutting table.

John and Anne Scurr from New Zealand released this pretty rooster. Surprisingly, there are still some big roosters around!

Clark, Joel and Mark were with Captain Gerado for first time fishing with us. They released a bunch too.

First time visiting from Utah on her birthday…Amanda and Rick Saunders. They released a bunch of dorado.

THE STORMS!!!!  Most of these photos and video below were after a single storm and only after about an hour of rain!  It has been raining almost every afternoon somewhere in the area!  Not everywhere, but somewhere in the La Paz area or surrounding waters!

_________________________________

I’m not sure where or how to start this fishing report this time.

Normally, it’s easier to just tell you about the fishing, but these days, it’s impossible to talk about one and not the other.  Normally, this time of year, I can just do a straight-ahead report because the weather is just generally consistently sunny and hot.

But, this year…and specifically, this last month, it is anything but consistent.

This is a SUPER EL NINO year…maybe the more record-breaking since they started charting these weather patterns.  In an an El Nino year, waters tend to be warmer than normal this side of the Pacific basin.

Well, this year , we’re seeing water temps in the 90-95 degree range!  That’s incredibly 8-10 degrees warmer than normal!  In 30 years, I’ve never seen that happen.  Likewise, the air temps are ridiculous.

We’ve had consisten 110 degree temps, but…here’s the kicker…

With the warm ocean and the warm air, the ocean is rapidly evaporating and two things are happening.

One…the humidity is almost unbelieveable. And it’s increasing the heat index.  Consequently, with the heat index (like wind chill factor in the winter), we’re getting real-time tempertures at 119…122…126…130…133…we even had one day at 137 degrees!  I didn’t think that was possible.  You’re sweating in the shade!

Secondly, with all the evaporation an moisture in the air, the day starts out clear blue. By-mid afternoon, the sky has sucked up all this moisture and the sky is suddenly filled with black clouds.

It has to drop somewhere so it dumps right on us…and by us, I mean the whole state…or the city!  So, every afternoon, it is raining somewhere over the local city area or ocean.  It could be one spot, but not another.  It could rain for 15 minutes or an hour.  The ocean could be flat or churned into a cauldron!

And some of theses storms…even if it only rains for an hour…can be violent little hurricanes or typhoons and thunderstorms resulting in horrendous flooding…landslides…toppled buildings…roofs destroyed…

And this is happening daily.  Places like Cabo facing directly into the ocean are really getting pummeled and La Paz has had it’s share of damage as well.

And hour later, the water has run off and the sun comes back out.  The storm has moved somewher else and the ground dries up with steam coming off the ground in the heat…until the next day.

All of this has drastically changed the fishing.

Normally, this is prime time for our season. And this year has been one for the record books in terms of big fish and species .

But with the water so hot, there is very little oxygen in the upper reaches of the water column.  Bigger fish have literally disappeared.  Gone to deeper cooler waters for oxygen. What we’re getting these days are mostly school-sized 5-10 pound dorado.

And there’s a good abundance of them.  The smaller fish don’t need the same level of oxygen as the larger models.  So, 95% of the catch has been these smaller fun dorado. Everyone is catching them.  We’re releasing a ton of these little fellas as well and in 2 months, they’ll be 15-20 pound fish with the growth rate of dorado.  But for now…it is what is it is.  Everyone is catching fish…but all smaller sized dorado.

We did hit a couple of 30 pound tuna for the first time in a month.  There are still some large roosterfish surprisingly around in the 40-50 pound class as well as bonito and jacks.  Some pompano, trevally plus pargo, triggerfish and cabrilla.  We’ve seen some billfish feeding on the smaller dorado but didn’t hook any this past week.  And that’s about it!   I think even the rock fish have hunkered down into deeper cooler waters for more oxygen!

Like I said, everyone is still catching fish and the storms are in the afternoon when all the fishermen are generally already back.

Hurricane Marie grew to a Category 2 blow but fortunately headed out to the Pacific and up the coast. Baja is under the edge of that. Although the eye missed us, the arms of rain caught us.

That being said, the forecast predicts rain and heat pretty much every day coming up.  Plus we just dodged two hurricanes…Karina and Marie.  I would not be surprised if we or two come up on us before the season ends in October.  Fingers crossed and make sure you buy your trip insurance!

That’s my story!
