SCRATCHY SLOW FISHING AT BEST

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Bahia Suenos Fishing Report for Oct. 28-Nov. 9. 2027

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: Can be choppy and rough if the winds are blowing especially as the day goes on. Otherwise, mostly sunny with day time temps in the 80’s and nights in the comfortable high 60’s. But winds are getting more consistently from the north

WATER: Getting cooler now that the winds are blowing.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: Not much. Triggerfish. Snapper, cabrilla, pargo, bonito. Tough to fish if the winds are blowing and even if you get it, it might be difficult to get live bait.

FISHING on a SCALE of 1-10 (10 is best): 2

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Straight up…not much to tell you.

If you’ve been following my weekly reports, you know that fishing since about August has been pretty dreary. In 32 year here, it’s been the worst I have ever seen.

We had storm after storm come up the pipe…either as hurricanes or tropical storms…seemingly every week for almost 3 months. Even if they didn’t hit us directly, they often brought rain, big winds, floods, rough seas and all the things that storms bring with them. It seemed that we were glued to weather websites daily trying to figure out which storm was going to hit…

Even the experts were baffled and by last count, I believe there were 24 major storms in the Pacific Ocean. That is more than ever in recorded history and nearly exhausted all the alphabets trying to name them. The last one was “VANCE.” Although it veered away from Baja at the last minute and did not directly affect La Paz, it did produce some devastating floods south of us around Cabo San Lucas.

As well, this SUPER EL NINO weather phenomenon has not only brought us storms that have affected the entire Pacific Coast up into the U.S. but water temperatures hit an inheard of high reaching into the mid-90’s on the surface and basically chasing all the fish away for lack of oxygen. It turned the ocean into a desert. Fish left to cooler waters so they could breathe!

The extremely warm waters also caused the ocean to expand. The result was many weeks of incredible high tides such that many parts of the La Paz Malecon were flooded up to the streets on a daily basis.

None of this did the fishing any favors.

Although the water temps have dropped and no storms have approached the area for almost 2 weeks, now the northern winds have started blowing. These usually start about this time and blow until March or April making it often rough to be out and sometimes so rough the port captain shuts down all boat traffic in or out of the bay. About the only ones who love the winds are the windsurfers who come from all over the world to take advantage of the strong winds.

So…an honest report about fishing…

It’s pretty poor. If not the weather or water being too strong or rough, it’s even made it difficult to get live bait these days. We have had an occasional boat out.

These folks are well-advised about what they might expect and frankly, it’s been pretty skimpy. Some snapper. Some triggerfish. An occasional small dorado or bonito or jack. Maybe a cabrilla. And that’s kind of it.

Maybe it will change. I don’t know. I’ve kinda given up trying to predict things this season. Mother Nature keeps jacking me up. All I can do is report what happened since the last report.

BAHIA MAGDALENA

With the poor fishing around La Paz, it’s that time of year when we do send folks up fishing at Magdalena Bay about 4 hours up the Pacific Coast.

Fishing has been solid. Nice batches of 10-40 pound yellowfin tuna. Some hefty wahoo. Grouper and larger bull dorado have all been in the mix fishing the banks offshore.

Inshore, the usual great mix of snapper, pargo, cabrilla, sierra, grouper, corvina, halibut and others coming out’ve the mangroves in the shallow waters!
