FULL MOON FEVER?

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Bahia Suenos Fishing Report for Week of May 23-30, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WEATHER: Getting hotter finally. Humidity hasn’t really hit yet so that’s a good thing. Daytime temps now in the high 90’s or low 100’s.

WATER: Getting bluer and warmer, but there is an apparent thermocline about 20-30′ down. So surface temps are 75-79 degrees, but 5-10 degrees cooler below the thermocline which is why we’re still getting the cooler water species like the yellowtail.

FISH HOOKED: yellowtail, amberjack, sierra, barred pargo, dog-tooth snapper, yellow snapper, marlin, sailfish, wahoo, bonito, cabrilla, jack crevalle pompano, trevally, dorado

FISHING SCALE of 1-10: 7

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Toad-sized hog yellowtail for Matt Correia from San Diego with the mackerel bait still hanging from it’s mouth. I recall they hooked 7 that day north of La Paz!

First time in La Paz, Emma Hart, with her first roosterfish too! She’s visiting us from San Diego.

So much variety this week. Casey Petersen off Cerralvo Island with a palometa (trevally). Good eating!

Finally seeing some of the big boy roosters! Paul Cowdell from Utah has been talking to us for years and finally came down. His first day he got the better of this big rooster estimated of about 100 pounds. Paul also released the fish and caught several others he released as well.

Mark Bonsack from Cle Elum WA fishes with us several times a year for almost 20 years now . He always get into the fish like this rare banqueta grouper caught down deep.

The ladies were rocking it this week! Another first timer, Myra Schmonsky all the way from Green Bay WI with one of several roosters on the day. All released.

Visting us from Austin TX, JD Durst said this jack crevalle battled him long and hard off Punta Perrico.

Always great to have Johnny Stone visit us from San Diego. He never disappoints getting onto the fish like this big mossback yellowtail. They hooked 7 that day.

Blaine Larsen and Capt. Julio with our first boated marlin of the year not able to release. It was Blaine’s first and they had another one hooked the next day that threw the hook! Much of the meat was donated.

Great colors on Jim Schmonsky’s dorado. Look how close to shore he is…those are the rocks of Punta Perrico about 20 yards away. Don’t have to go far to find blue water fish!

Our long-time amigo, Brad Sleder from S. Carolina with another unusual banqueta grouper. These are great eating!

Always great to get big smiles from first-timers like Casey and Emma with their first day fishing when they hooked and released 5 roosters!

Whoa! Victor strains to help Myra with her hefty first roosterfish estimated at 60+ pounds. Myra released the fish.

Nice rack of fish! All tasty amberjack at Bahia Muertos for Jason Correia and son, Matt, from San Diego.

My poster-shot of the week! This could be a magazine cover of Paul Cowdell and one of his big roosterfish right off the Punta Arenas lighthouse beach. Fish was realeased!

Jason with another big yellowtail headed to the fish box and more fillets for San Diego!

Jim Schmonsky and Captain Boli posing with another mossback ‘tail and some dinner fillets at Tailhunter Restaurant!

She was so much fun to have visit. Martha Cowdell from Utah in the calm waters off Punta Arenas with a jack crevalle (released). Tough fish when hooked!

Double armfulls of yellowtail to heft up…John Stone and Jeff Correia coming back from Punta Coyote!

From Alaska on the flyrod. This ain’t no salmon. The Mexican name is “toro” (jack crevalle) which means “bull.” Damon Harvey had some fun with these sluggers on the flyrod .

Myra sure had fun in their one-week fishing trip with us. Dorado…just one more species to add to the different species she caught all week!

Lots of fun jack crevalle all week. Not real good eating so they all get released mostly, but difficult to battle and a tough fish on rod and reel. Captain Alfredo and Jason Correia.

_________________________________

I won’t say it was the greatest fishing ever, but it sure was a solid week for sure and the best week of fishing so far this season with lots of variety; big fish and some species we’ve been waiting for!

And all on a full moon too! ( I usually don’t put much stock into the full moon/ bad fishing theory down here. Maybe other places I have fished, but not so much down here!)

We got our first marlin.

First sailfish.

The first big boy 50-100 pound roosterfish.

We got wahoo.

Big big yellowtail (and lots of them!),

We got some dorado finally too!

But, then add in barred pargo, pargo liso, cubera snapper, yellow snapper, sierra, amberjack, jack crevalle, bonito, pompano, trevally, amberjack, triggerfish…and more!

Let me tell you, we were busy every afternoon in our Tailhunter fish packing room!

Huge slabs of yellowtail fillet…FROM JUST ONE BOAT! We were commercial vacuum packing several hundred bags a day of fish!

Plus, we were whipping up lots of cooked fish every night at our Tailhunter Restaurant to cook up the fish that our fishermen brought in!

But, like I said, a good solid week.

The yellowtail north of town were as good as I have ever seen it. The fish are a healthy 15-40 pound mossback forkies. Some biting live mackerel deep and others up on the surface. Boats were coming back usually with 2-8 yellowtail and telling me stories of losing just as many of the fish to broken lines or pulled hooks or some fish they just could not stop!

Fishing with our La Paz fleet that’s pretty much the highlight.

If you wanted the variety of all the other dozen or so species, fishing with our Las Arenas Fleet was were we had you go out. Honestly, if you had a bait in the water, you never knew what you were going to hook.

Fishing for roosterfish, you might also hook jack crevalle, dorado, trevally or pompano or one of the larger 50-100 pound roosterfish that finally showed up.

If you fished over the rocks, we were hooking big mullet snapper (pargo lis0), barred pargo (pargo mulato) and dog-tooth snapper (pargo rojo/ pargo perro/ cubera snapper) as well as cabrilla, yellow snapper, palometas and others.

Not sure how much longer we’ll be getting this kind of variety.

As things warm up, we’ll usually start seeing more dorado, billfish, wahoo and hopefully some tuna and fewer of the cooler water species.

The air temps are definitely on the upswing as many parts of Mexico have been in a heatwave. We’re getting sunny hot temps now in the high 90’s and low 100’s. Nice thing, however, is that the humidity still hasn’t escalated.

The water temps are 75-78 on the surface which is typical, but it appears there’s a thermocline 20-30 feet down where waters are 5-8 degrees cooler and that’s why we’re still getting so many cold water species.

No doubt, it’s hot. Bring the sunscreen and wide-brimmed hats and cover up! And do not forget to stay hydrated or you’ll get sick down here real fast.

OH…and ONE MORE THING DANGIT…

Because of the national, regional, state and local elections on SUNDAY, all alcohol sales in La Paz are prohibited from 6 p.m. Saturday night until Monday morning! Some special areas in Cabo and some other cities got exemptions and in the past, we’ve gotten an exemption as well as some hotels.

But, not THIS YEAR! In La Paz, restaurants (like ours), hotels, cantinas, grocery stores…cannot sell alcohol. Just poke me with a fork…

We’ll keep you posted.

That’s my story!

NO WAY TO KNOW WHAT YOU MIGHT HOOK RIGHT NOW!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of May 15-22, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: Sunny and getting warmer. Nights are in the 70’s and day time in the high 90’s but still very comfortable because the humidity isn’t here yet. Plus, if you get hot, jump in the ocean!

WATER: Getting bluer, but not as warm as I would expect as shown by all the yellowtail and other cold water species we’re getting. But you can tell it’s getting warmer by more warm-water species showing up.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: Quite a lineup!

Dorado, yellowtail, amberjack, rainbow runners, marlin, tuna, wahoo, roosterfish, yellow snapper, pargo liso, pargo mulato, cabrilla, white bonito, skipjack, sierra, triggerfish

Note: More variety fishing with our Las Arenas fleet. Mostly nice yellowtail and a few dorado with our La Paz fleet.

FISHING ON A SCALE of 1-10 – 6 1/2. (pretty good!)

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Sanford Slack from Washington State had just one day to fish with us and knocked it out’ve the ballpark with two wahoo (see photos below), big cabrilla and two big yellowtail!

Julia Mitchell on her first trip to visit us is all smiles with her first roosterfish. She had quite a week down here. The rooster was released.

Captain Rogelio estimated this thick yellowtail caught by John Pechous to be about 40 pounds! John was a first-time visitor and came to us from Arizona.

Gary Wagner at his place at Rancho Costa has one of the best eating fish, a hefty cabrilla (seabass).

Ray Millman from Rancho Palos Verdes with a nice dorado and Captain Victor doing a photobomb. Ray rocked the week and went home and booked another trip with us in September!

Yes…bigger roosters have moved in! Mauricio Levy from Monterey CA has an armful of rooster! The fish was released.

We had a nice little jag of wahoo at the south end of Cerralvo Island this week. Sanford popped two of the speedy ‘hoos with Captain Hugo.

Julia’s yellowtail is bigger than her dad’s yellowtail, she claims! Captain Alfredo looks on. They were fishing around Punta Coyote.

Gary Wagner at Rancho Costa in Bahia Muertos with quite a rack of fishi. I can see yellowtail, dorado, barred pargo, yellow snapper and cabrlla. I’m sure they had a great dinner there that night.

Willy Moers is always fun when he comes down from Colorado! Quite a day here…cabrilla, yellow snapper, dorado and rainbow runner.

Bill Mitchell was one of my first Tailhunter clients almost 30 years ago. Good to have him back and here’s another yellowtail for the box. He and his daughter put 7 on the deck this particular day.

Tough-fighting pargo liso are still schooling in the shallows. Julia has another one!

That’a alot of sweet fillet meat for Sanford with a trophy cabrilla in the pose.

Julia and Captain Alfredo with another yellowtail.

_________________________________________

Just another good solid week of fishing down here.

Everyone got fish. Everyone ate fish. Everyone took fish home! That kinda says it all.

The “problem” is that I couldn’t pinpoint what kinds of fish were biting. Every day and every boat things changed. We caught so many different species of fish once again as the waters change from cooler to warmer and both cooler water species and warm water species mix things up.

Boats came back with different catches every day. Even if they fished the same spots. Boats next to each other caught different fish. One day fish were small. Next day all the fish were trophy.

It really made it fun. If you went out…if you had a bait in the water…you just never knew what you were going to catch.

It was quite a list:

Dorado…yellowtail…jack crevalle…bonito…skipjack…tuna…wahoo…cabrilla…sierra…amberjack…rainbow runners…pargo liso (mullet snapper)…barred pargo (pargo mulato)…dog tooth snapper (cubera)…yellow snapper…marlin…roosterfish…milkfish…triggerfish

I probably missed one or two! There were that many species!

I think as things get warmer, we’ll be narrowing down to dorado, tuna, billfish, wahoo and roosterfish among a few others. I don’t know how long the waters will stay cool enough to hold this kind of variety, but for now, it’s alot of fun.

Things are definitely getting warmer. Night temps are in the mid-70’s. Day time temp are in the mid-to-high 90’s. However, the humidity really hasn’t hit yet so it’s still very pleasant sunshine days with mostly flat warm 75 degree waters on the surface, but a cooler thermocline 20-30 feet below.

That’s my story!

SOLID WEEK OF VARIETY

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of May 6-14, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: Brrrr…the mornings can sure be chilly and blustery, but then giving way to warm and mostly sunny days in the high 80’s to low 90’s. Getting a big more humid but overall pretty pleasant. The evenings are great.

WATER: Slowly getting warmer, but there’s more cooler water than warm water. The cooler water is keeping species like yellowtail, amberjack and sierra around. If you find the warmer water, that’s where the occasional dorado will be. Surface temps are in the 70’s, but key is that you hit a chilly thermocline about 20-3o feet down that drops the water into the 60’s. Visbility is about 20-30′ underwater.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: yellowtail, roosterfish, rainbow runners, barred pargo, pargo liso, yellow snapper, tuna, cabrilla, sierra, skipjack, bonito, jack crevalle, sheephead, triggerfish, wahoo

LAS ARENAS FISHING: This is where we are seeing the most variety of the fish listed above. If you want a chance at a whole bunch of different species, this is where to fish.

LA PAZ FISHING: Mostly yellowtail (although bigger fish) and some dorado and smaller roosterfish.

FISHING SCALE of 1-10: 5

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Ray Millman is all smiles after a good day of yellowtail fishing near Espiritu Santo Island. They caught six this day. Ray is one of our first-time amigos!

Captain Armando put Davin Smith and his friend on a big pargo and dorado and other action. The fish ended up back at our Tailhunter Restaurant for dinner!

Bill Malone with a big palometo. His first time with us and his first palometa which is related to pompano and trevally. Bill is from Torrance CA

From Minnesota with Captain Joel, Cole and Jadin Bauman with a nice bunch of yellowtail in the box!

Whoa! Finally, some of the larger roosters starting to show up! Ray with Captain Victor. They caught a number of fish between 40 and 80 pounds. All released!

Shaka sign from Justin Orr and his yellowtail with captain Armando. A good bunch of this fish ended up as ceviche at our Tailhunter Restaurant.

Rich Ambrosini was another of our first-time visitors this week and poses with Captain Gerardo and a rooster Gerardo estimated at about 50 pounds. The fish was released.

Trophy barred pargo caught in shallow water near Punta Arenas by Ray Millman. Great eating!

Nice batch of fish on the cleaning table with lots of variety for Rich Ambrosini and Gary Orr with Captain Gerardo. I see snapper, cabrilla, triggerfish and a big barred pargo.

__________________________________

Not a bad week at all. Everyone got fish and everyone who wanted to take home fish took home fish! Mornings are a bit chilly, but daytimes are warm and sunny and humidity is starting to come in too.

Overall just a good week on all levels.

Just sorry that I don’t have that many photos this week. I just didn’t get as many from our anglers or, as one amigo told me, “We were too busy catching fish to take photos! Our hands were full!”

Good reason! LOL

Not every boat did good every day. To be honest. But, if one boat was slow one days, they surely made up for it on other days. Most folks fortunately fish with us for several days.

“Bad fishing” is also relative.

Someone might come back and tell me it was slow or bad. I then talk to the captain who tells me they lost about 5 or 6 nice fish. That’s good fishing, but bad catching. And understandably, some of these fish are not only big, but tough and if you’re not used to it, or the conditions, fish will beat you up.

Also, if someone comes back and they were chasing tuna or wahoo all day, well, honestly ,that’s a gamble. You’re not gonna catch them if you don’t try, but it’s also swinging for the fences with ha home run. The fish are there and biting or they aren’t. And it just wasn’t your lucky day. The other boats that went after the more prevalent fish like yellowtail, pargo, cabrilla, etc. did way better because that’s what is actually biting and there are alot more of those fish than the bigger blue water species right now.

All-in-all, there was alot of variety once again.

Maybe over a dozen different species hooked including: yellowtail, roosterfish, rainbow runners, barred pargo, pargo liso, yellow snapper, tuna (big), cabrilla, sierra, skipjack, bonito, jack crevalle, sheephead, triggerfish and even a few wahoo.

But that’s what makes it fun. You really never know what’s going to bite right now if you put a bait in the water.

The highlights included some good-grade yellowtail up to about 30 pounds. Some dorado in the 15-20 pound class as well as some trophy-sized pargo showed up. Really encouraging were the larger roosterfish that finally showed up in the 50-80 pound class. About time!

The dorado are scattered right now and you need to fine the warmer water. The yellowtail are on the surface around Espirito Santo Island. Best deal is to catch live mackerel under the big oil tankers in the bay then head out and drop a mackie into the current!

The tuna and wahoo were hooked at the south end of Cerralvo Island and the bigger roosters were caught near Punta Arenas in roosterfish alley, but there are lost of the smaller 5-10 pounders along many beaches right now.

Mornings are chilly. Bring a light windbreaker or sweatshirt that you can take off when the sun comes blazing later on!

It’s a nice time to be in town!

That’s my story!

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

It was his camouflaged shirt! Mac Christofferson with Captain Armando and the matching colorful bull dorado!

First time with us, Keely Lauber from Louisiana got her first roosterfish also. (released too!)

Our long-time amigo from Boise Idaho on his way to retirement was out with Captain Victor and took a nice cabrilla.

The Thompson Family…always into the good fish with a rack of wahoo and big cabrilla! Fishing with Captain Hugo!

Allison and Johnny Hogan had themselves quite a week. Check out Allison’s big dog-tooth snapper to go along with Johnny’s dorado. They had a bunch of other fish as well.

We’ve known Tom Ames for a long time and he’s letting his Santa Beard fill out nicely! Good yellowtail caught north of La Paz near Espirito Santo Island.

I think Darrell Manginelli from Ventura CA must have caught about 10 species on his recent visit with some firsts for him like this palometa!

Captain Alfredo with Randy Choate and a nice dorado for the fish box!

WHOA! A trophy grouper? A giant cabrilla? Allison visiting us from Oklahoma tied into this big boy and landed it with big smiles!

First-time Houston visitor, Howard Bonhomme also got his first roosterfish (released).

Just a great photo of Keely Lauber and her bull dorado she fought on 20 pound test and refused to give up the rod! Well-deserved smile!

Somewhere behind that rooster dorsal fin is Barbara Choate posing with Captain Victor with a smile. Fish was released.

First time and first fish is a bull dorado for Captian Jorge with Mike from Bakersfield CA

No question, but Donna Thompson knows how to fish. She always has a knack for big cabrilla also. Fishing with Captain Hugo.

Our newest amigo from New Jersey, Eugene Wowk spent the week with us and caught a variety of fish like this dorado.

Tough tough fish to pull out’ve the rocks, but Darrell managed this one just off Punta Perrico where the pargo are spawning right now.

Pretty photo of Mac with his yellowtail on Captain Rogelio’s boat.

Johnny Hogan and that big cabrilla!

Another species for Darrell. Roosterfish was released.

Another catch and release rooster for Randy near the island!

Tom Ames and Captain Armando with another dorado for the box headed to dinner at Tailhunter Restaurant.

The “Mad Hatter” Konrad Knoeferl has visited us several times and always great to see him here. Day one…roosterfish on the line! (released). He also got some rainbow runners.

These are fighters…jack crevalle. Kinda like roosterfish without the headgear! Keely with Captain Pancho. Caught and released.

I think this is a good day? Captain Gerardo was out with Allison and Johnny with yellowtail, amberjack, dorado and a big cubera snapper!

_________________________________________________________

It was a much more consistent week and more typical of this time of year. Basically spring-time fishing. Honestly, it’s a beautiful time to be down here.

The daytime temps are a sunny high 80’s to low 90’s, but the humidity has not shown up yet. The evenings are cool and comfortable down to the high 50’s or lower 60’s. A windbreaker or lights sweatshirt is a good thing to pack along especially in the cool mornings.

Waters are getting warmer and bluer as well.

The number of species we caught this past week was pretty incredible. But, it’s not uncommon for this time of year where we get such a mix of cooler water and warmer water fish. Cooler water fish like the pargo, yellowtail, sierra and amberjack are still hanging out, but giving way to warmer water fish like the dorado, tuna and wahoo.

Plus you have the fish that are specific usually to the spring-time bite like pompano, trevally, roosterfish and jacks.

I think overall, we hooked close to 2 dozen different species this week. Not much of any one species to load up on, but just a great variety…one of these…two of those…3 of these…1 of those, etc. And every day was different. Every fishing hole could change.

Honestly, you really never knew what you might hook if you had a bait in the water. And that makes it kinda fun! I never knew what the fish report would be from one day to the next.

But, everyone caught fish: yellowtail, tuna, wahoo, dorado, roosterfish, cabrilla, grouper, dog-tooth snapper, barred pargo, pargo liso, snapper, pompano, jack crevalle, bonito, skipjack, rainbow runners, trigger fish, milkfish, palometa…about the only thing I didn’t see this week were billfish.

More specifically, the more prominent fish were yellowtail running 10-30 pounds with the larger ones being caught fishing with our Tailhunter La Paz fleet. The fish are biting jigs and live bait.

Yes, there are tuna…50-100 pounders! We hooked one and lost it, but some of the commercial guys have been able to land some of these larger fish.

Wahoo have shown up around Cerralvo Island if you get out early and fish the jigs and the dorado have been 10-18 pound school-sized fish with a few larger ones. They key is finding the warmer areas and temperature breaks.

Also, yes, roosterfish have shown up. Mostly fishing in the usual spots with my Las Arenas fleet. Seemingly lots of fish in the 5-10 pound class. There are a few in the 40-50 pound size showing up and hopefully more as the waters get warmer.

Live bait is moving around so sometimes you gotta chase to where the bait guys are catching the sardines so some days that takes a little longer than usual.

Overall, everyone is catching fish and everyone wanting to bring fish home or have some cooked up at our Tailhunter Restaurant have not had an issue.

By, the way, after 4 years (since Covid) we are in the process of re-opening those upper 2nd and 3rd floors of our Tailhunter Restaurant whic are going through a full-remodel including the upstairs bar and kitchen!

We’re really excited and it this is the 15th year anniversary of the restaurant. We’re pretty excited and hope to have things ready by next month! Jilly has the workers hopping all over! Plus we’re finally expanding our menu and bringing back some of our old favorites now that the upstairs kitchen will be open again! Stay tuned!

Don’t forget, if you’re coming down that your balances are due 30 days out. No stress. Just a reminder! We’ll see you down here!

That’s my story!

LITTLE OF THIS…LITTLE OF THAT

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Apri 19-27, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: Chilly breezy mornings in the high-50’s or low 60’s (bring a sweatshirt or windbreaker) then hitting the low 90’s by daytime. A few clouds giving way to bright sunshine.

WATER: Getting warmer and more blue as it clears up . Temps ranging fromthe high 60’s to mid-70’s some spots. Warmer water is bringing in a sargasso bloom that will grow until warmer water burns it off.

WIND: Can be a bit gusty in the mornings and even kicking up some whitecaps in the bay, then it settles down. Still a bit choppy outside, but most of the winds are now from the south and not preventing us from getting to most fishing spots…this week!

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: Yellowtail, dorado, tuna, cabrilla, pargo liso, barred pargo, snapper, sierra, jack crevalle, bonito, roosterfish, skipjack, pompano, palometa(yellow trevally)

BAIT: Lots of sardines but the schools are moving around a lot. Some mornings, it takes a little longer to find the spots. La Paz has mackerel under the anchored tankers in the bay.

SCALE of 1-10: Four. (I think the full moon had a bit of an effect as fishing got better as the full moon faded.)

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Carlos Sanabria, Jr. just had two days to fish with his dad before heading off on his honeymoon then getting deployed to Kuwait. Big smiles…a flat sea…and a nice yellowtail he snagged with a jig! Doesn’t matter if it ends up in the fish box!

Darrell Manginelli, from Ventura CA, visits us several times a year and always does well. He got a nice variety here on his spinning rod with a pargo liso, some cabrilla and a dorado on the table.

Our two newest amigos, Peter Tobias and Eugene Wowk from New Jersey, spent the week with us and show off a few of the roosterfish they hooked. Nice double here! All roosters were released.

You don’t realize how tough pargo liso fight…even the smaller ones…until you have one hooked! Carlos Sanabria pulled this one from the rocks. Great eating and the fish are in the shallows spawning now!

Great first day for Johnny and Allison Hogan who visited us from Oklahoma. Nice variety! Cabriila, rainbow runner, yellowtail, snapper and dorado at Bahia Muertos!

He’s visited us several times, but Andy Lauber from Louisiana, had never hooked a rooster on the flyrod. He and his wife found a nice school of small and medium roosters right up along the beach and said, “We could have stayed there all day with the light tackle. It was way fun!” All roosters were released.

A few dorado creeping into the counts as the waters warm! Carlos got this just south of Bahia Muertos along the cliffs.

Peter Tobias all the way from New Jersey with Captain Hugo and a bull dorado. To me, more impressive are the big pargo lying on the fish cleaning table!

Cabrilla are the favorite fish for locals here in La Paz and the meat is tender and white! These are two legit fish for Darrell. He said he missed a few others in the rocks!

Captain Hugo posing with Peter and Eugene. Some legit-sized cabrilla and pompano on the cutting table and a nice bull dorado that they had a laugh over as the mahi ate both their hooks and a friendly argument ensued as to who’s fish it was!

_____________________________________________

It was an interesting week.

Good action and lots of variety the entire time and everyone had fun, but earlier in the week, it was a bit picky…the fishing was somewhat scratchy. Everyone was catching fish, but it wasn’t as good as the previous week.

I couldn’t figure out why.

Then one dark morning as I was putting out the boats, I looked up…DANGIT…full moon! That had to be it. I’m not a big “full moon theory” person, but that was the only variable that I could point to. (And of course throw blame like any good fisherman!).

What else could it be? Because as the full moon diminished, the fish got better. I mean, it improved tremendously! Everyone was catching and taking home fish, but as the week went on and the full moon got darker, the fish got more active. We started getting more variety. The fish also got bigger.

The list of fish hooked this week was pretty amazing and not completely unusual for this time of the year:

Yellowtail

Amberjack

Jack Crevalle

Pompano

Trevally

Dorado

Sierra

White Bonito

Skipjack

Roosterfish

Barred Pargo

Dog Tooth Snapper

Mullet Snapper (Pargo Liso)

Yellow Snapper

Cabrilla

Grouper

Commercial guys also hooked some big tuna

It’s probably going to be like that for a few weeks as waters get warmer. The patches of colder water are producing the colder water species and the patches of warmer water are kicking out the blue-water pelagic species like the tuna and dorado.

Gotta tell you, it’s reflected in the daytime temps. The nights and mornings can be chilly sweatshirt weather with temps down to the mid-50’s and breezy. Then, within a few hours, the thermometer zooms up to the high 80’s or low 90’s. Frankly, it’s been mostly gorgeous sunny weather with minimal humidity. A really nice time to be here in town.

As the waters get warmer, we’ll be seeing fewer species, but more dorado (we hope) as well as tuna, billfish, wahoo and larger roosterfish.

The fun thing right now is that if you have a bait in the water, there’s just no telling what’s gonna bite. It could be any number of species! And each day can be completely different than the other days.

That’s my story!

WIND AND THE ECLIPSE?

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of April 3-10, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER – Mostly warmer days, but winds came back up this week getting the waters back up to choppy and some days limiting where we could get to fish. Had to even cancel one day of fishing and snorkeling. Don’t know how much the eclipse affected things. It affected animals!

WATER – Getting warmer, but a bit choppier this week and rough when the winds kicked back up.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK – Yellowtail, dorado, bonito, jack crevalle, sierra, snapper, pargo

FISHING ON A SCALE OF 1-10 SINCE LAST REPORT (10 is best) – 3.5

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

It’s been a few years since Gavin Chun has visited us, but he was out with Captain Boli and took this sizeable dorado off Espirito Santo Island north of La Paz. They hung a big yellowtail as well that they battled before it got unbuttoned.

First roosterfish for Kevin Lyons. They actually hooked 5 roosters all released. Kevin is from Long Island NY and grew up watching American Sportsman and dreamed of catching a roosterfish!

Captain Luis has a laugh with Jeff Pagliuca as they unhook a fresh yellowtail.

Dave Pollard and Hector Chacon started fishing with us about 25 years ago. Nice photo of their catch of dorado, snapper, a cabrilla and palometa.

Captain Armando helped put another dorado in the boat!

One of the larger dorado of the young season for Steve! His first time with us.

Kevin has a nice big sierra that’s going back to the freezers!

_____________________________________

Pump the brakes!

Despite my optimism over the last several fishing reports, the bite still isn’t quite ready to go full-speed. I kept warning that the winds would be coming back and this past week, it did get breezy again. Not enough to blow folks off the water like the previous months but enough to make it choppy and difficult to fish.

We had to cancel two fishing trips as well as a snorkel trip this past week because of the rough weather.

…and the fish weren’t exactly cooperative either.

Was it the weather? Was it the atmospheric changes caused by the eclipse? Maybe the combination of the two? I won’t discount that any of those could have had a major affect on things. I mean the moon has an affect on tides and currents normally. And news reports during the eclipse talked about how the zoo animals behaved…confused and agitated.

So, maybe the fish were affected too. Who knows? I don’t think it helped!

Not only were the counts down compared to previous weeks, but also the variety was reduced as well.

We did get some nice dorado…the largest of the season so far. And a few smaller roosterfish as well as pargo, cabrilla, snapper, jacks and bonito. And some large sierra. And not really many at that. And that was kinda it!

Things will change. Just being honest. We’re going to see more winds, but it’ll get better. It always does. In fact, the next few days after you’re reading this, the forecasts call for diminished winds.

That’s my story!

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

From Minnesota, Steve Powers had just one day to squeeze in fishing and landed a number of species including this hefty yellowtail. He also landed dorado and a roosterfish (released). Photos below.

That’s a great rack of tasty fish for Leif Dover, out long-time amigo from Atlanta GA. Big pompano, sierra, doado and a barred pargo in the mix.

John Turner and Brian O’Neil fished 6 days and although they hit some wind, the still put lots of fish in the box. Check out this catch of dorado, a big pargo liso and sierra.

Normally, we don’t see them quite so early in the year, but Steve landed and released this nice roosterfish.

Two more of our long-time Tailhunter amigos, Kip Slaugh from Utah and Jim Molinari from California with some quality yellowtail, dorado and sierra on the fish table!

One day to fish all the way from N. Carolina, Melissa Evans and her son, Jack, pose with a big palometa. They also caught snapper, cabrilla and pompano!

Find the right spot and there’s some dorado to be found like this one with Steve ready for the filet box!

These huge pompano have been with us now over 2 weeks and are great fighters and tasty eating! Captain Gerardo poses with one of the big guys.

John Turner and Leif Dover ran into some winds, but were still able to fish inshore and loaded up on the cabrilla and snapper.

Our amigo, Gary Wagner, owner of Rancho Costa at Bahia Muertos. He’s got a nice barred pargo.

More big pompano and dorado headed for the cooler!

_______________________________

Hope ya’ll had a great Easter and Easter Week!

We’re not quite there yet…but things seem to be improving weekly with better conditions and a surprising number of different and unseasonable species.

Still seeing some really windy days, but we’re having more good days than better day as waters clear up and warm and it’s bringing in the fish. Not so many pelagic blue water species yet although there are a surprising number of dorado in the water if you hit those warmer spots or current breaks where there’s a temperature split.

However, the inshore species are sure bending rods.

In addition to some nice quality yellowtail up to about 25 pounds, the big pompano are still around and it’s unusual to be getting pompano like this so early in the season and for sure, I’ve never seen so many pompano of this size! The fish are close to the beaches at the drop offs.

In those same areas, the variety has been incredible…snapper, 3 species of pargo (pargo liso, barred pargo, dog-tooth snapper) cabrilla, sierra, jack crevalle, bonito, skipjack…and yes…even the occasional early roosterfish too! Just really fun live bait and jig fishing when you really don’t know what’s gonna bite!

And even cooler, most of the fishing is closer to shore without having to go very far even if the winds are kicking in.

EASTER WEEK IN LA PAZ

It was pretty packed in town the last 2 weeks! Spring Break and Easter are the busiests travel periods of the year and our tranquil little city of La Paz was a jammed with folks from all over. More Mexicans travel during this time than any other time added to all the Americans who descend on beach destinations like La Paz!

The line of cars waiting to be allowed into Balandra Beach which has a quota on the number of folks allowed in at one time. The rest of to wait.

Famous Tecolote Beach jammed with vacationers having a good time.

Tecolote Beach 17 miles north of La Paz had a 5 hour car ride back into town…to go 17 miles. A “conga line” of evening headlights.

Pichilingue Beach which usually has only a handful of cars stacked up with campers and picnic folks enjoying the sand and water.

ECLIPSE APRIL 8 – BEWARE!

If you’re going to be in La Paz for the eclipse like some of our anglers, don’t forget to bring eclipse glasses! Regular sunglasses are NOT good enough to protect your eyes! And there are alot of fake eclipse glasses out there too. Make sure the glasses you use are certified!

It will be interesting to see if the fishing and tides/ currents will be affected by this event too!

THINGS WARMING UP?

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Bahia Suenos Fishing Report for Mar. 14-24, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

Weather: Mostly sunny. Some clouds, but temps ranging from the mid-50’s to mid-70’s

Water: Still cold water around, but more patches of clear blue showing up. Fewer rough days as there are still some very windy days, but somewhat diminishing.

Fish Species Hooked This Week: Yellowtail, sierra, pompano, amberjack, bonito, jack crevalle, snapper, barred pargo, cabrilla. A few dorado also hooked.

Better Spots: North and south ends of Cerralvo Island. Inshore rocky areas or over submerged reefs. Northern and eastern Espirito Santo Island.

MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Some of the biggest pompano I’ve seen in a long time came up like this big fella caught by our amigo from Atlanta, Leif Dover.

Yellowtail action is improving, but the trick is getting out to the spots and sometimes ploughing through windy and rough seas. Kip Slaugh from Utah has been a long-time amigo making several trips a year poses with a double handful of forktails.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Our popular Captain Gerardo took some of our clients to North Cerralvo to find the big yellowtail and poses for a quick shot while in his new panga.

John Turner has another nice forkie for the fish box and ready to pack up for the ice chest.

No photos of the clients, but Captain Rogelio poses with one of their yellowtail unloading back at the La Paz docks on the Malecon.

Hugo puts a fresh yellowtail on the gaff. Knowing Hugo, I know he loves the heads and collars of these tasty jacks.

_____________________________

Happy Easter and Easter Week everyone!

I won’t go so far as to say we’re out’ve the winter winds yet, but there’s certainly reason for some optimism. There are more calm days than windy rough days and waters are getting warmer and clearer.

There were still some days when it was better to just stay off the water and there were days when anglers went charging out anyway as town starts to fill up with Spring Breakers and Easter visitors.

Consequently, there were good days on the water and not-so good days on the water. There were some days that were just “Meh.” But, the better days were marginally productive and generated some nice and interesting catches.

Most noteable were the yellowtail biters. Fish ranging from about 10-25 pounds hit live bait, dead bait as well as yo-yo jigs and trolled jigs. The trick was being in the right spot and some of those spots sometimes required hitting some rough patches of wind and water. However, anglers working the high spots off Cerralvo Island and Espirito Santo Island found fish willing to chew. Other areas including the rock spots off Las Arenas/ Bahia Muertos.

Those same areas kicked out some nice pargo and cabrilla as well as the occasional amberjack.

Inshore fishing held the same species, but also sierra, jack crevalle, bonito and some really huge pompano. These were some hog-sized pompano too. We usually don’t see the pompano until about May or June so catching them was a treat, but also surprising in size as well.

The upcoming week, there will be some gusts and windy days, but overall, not too bad to take a shot out on the water. Just have to pick and choose the correct days.

MAG BAY REPORT

We had some good friends, Kip Slaugh and Jim Molinari from Utah out with Captain Rigo for a few days fishing the mangroves at Bahia Magdalena this past week.

Miles and miles of tangled mangrove roots and shoals holding numerous species!

Easy to get lost in the days before GPS!

Captain Rigo takes the guys out to start the day.

Over two days the guys hooked and released numerous species, keeping about a half-dozen including some good-sized grouper, spotted bay bass, snapper, cabrilla and others.

Captain Rigo with Kip and Jim. Good first day. Captain Rigo has more than a bit of fish cleaning to do! Lots of grouper and cabrilla!

Another day and more light tackle grouper for the fish box!

Jim Molinari poses with one of his grouper in the bay.

They also realeased many more fish as well.

That’s my story! Happy Easter and Easter Week everyone!

WINDY QUIET TIMES FOR FISHING

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Feb. 16-Mar. 1, 2024

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Commercial mix of fish…jackk crevalle, an amberjack even two smaller dorado.

Typical inshore catch. Again from one of our commercial fishing amigos. Two barred pargo and a yellow snapper. Great eating!

I know this week’s report is REALLY late, but I was kinda holding out.

I was hoping that there would be a break in the winds or that there would be something exciting to write about other than the usual boring winter reports about strong winds; rough seas and non one fishing.

But, that’s just the way it is and I couldn’t hold out any longer. We actually did have a booking or two the past two weeks, but had to cancel all of them because of the weather. As one of the prospective anglers wrote to me, “I’m glad you warned us about the weather. We had planned to take the family out for an easy day of fishing, but I’m writing this looking at the ocean and it’s all white caps and rough! Thanks for the FYI!”

There’s some fish to be caught but if you can’t get out because of the weather, it’s pretty typical this time of year. That’s why we say that November to April is off-season. The winsurfers and kiteboarder love it, but for fishing, not so much!

The few reports I’m getting are from friends that are commercial fishermen who tell me that they are hooking some yellowtail, amberjack, sierra, plus the usual rock fish like cabrilla, snapper and pargo. There have been a few dorado still being caught and a few tuna hookups near Cerralvo Island, but that’s about it. Quiet times mostly.

Reservations for our regular season from late April to October, however, are rolling in every day. After the last two years since Covid, fishing has been pretty spectacular and I think everyone is excited to get in on it again for 2024. Get in touch with me directly if you want to come visit us this year. My personal e-mail is jonathan@tailhunter.com Don’t wait, dates are filling up pretty fast.

As a matter of fact, we’ll be making our own S.California appearance this coming week from Mar. 7-10 at the Pacific Coast Sportfishing Show at the Orange Co. Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa.

We’ve been on the road now some 3 months and have had some crazy great shows in Dallas, Reno, Nashville and Salt Lake City. We really miss not being able to attend some other shows in S.Cal and some of our other favorite areas but we’re really looking forward to this week at the PCS show. It’s gonna be huge and all your favorites will be there. I hear is now takes up 7 of the massive exhibition halls. Check out the video:

This will be our final show of the 2024 season before heading home to La Paz to kick things off. Hope you can join us. Jilly and I will be in the booth every day and it would be great to see you!

That’s our story!

STRANGE WINTER CONTINUES!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 8-15, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT:

Weather: Daytime mid-70’s nights in the high 50’s. Have had some cloud and rain to go along with strong winds. Port Captain even had to shut down all boat traffic in La Paz Bay because it was so rough.

Water: If the winds are blowing, the water is going to be rough and off-color. But, there’s some strange warm blue water here and there in the 70’s holding pelagic species! Go figure1

Fish Hooked This Week: Tuna, dorado, amberjack, yellowtail, billfish, pargo, sierra, bonito, jack crevalle, roosterfish, cabrilla.

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

A late afternoon fish haul for Gary and friends including yellowtail, cabrilla, dog-tooth snapper and mullet snapper (pargo liso)

Roosterfish in February? Wow! Unusual catch this time of year. The fish was released.

Crazy variety here in the photo…dorado, sierra, snapper, dog-tooth…all great eating fish!

First off…big gracias to our amigo, Gary Wagner who has his place at Rancho Costa in Bahia Muertos. Gary kindly provided the photos and some great info for us this week.

As I have often mentioned, this is off-season from November to April because of the winds and rough seas and barely anyone is out on the water. During this time of year, we get our reports many times from our friends who are commercial fishermen who have to make a living on the water no matter the weather. But, we also get info from friends who live in the area, like Gary, who can pick days to fish when the winds aren’t blowing. We’re grateful!

Three things have not changed since the last report:

ONE: The winds have still been blowing. No surprise. In fact, it got so rough the La Paz port captain had to shut down all boat traffic in and out’ve La Paz Bay.

TWO: In between the gusty blasts there are some days when it’s well worth it to check out the fishing. This is especially true of our friends who live in La Paz who can find a good window to go out when the winds are somewhat slack. Usually only 1 or 2 days a week on the average.

THREE: Holy Cow, there’s some nice an unusual fishing going on! There are the usual cold-water species like cabrilla, snapper, sierra, yellowtail and amberjack. But, there are some spots where the waters are unusually warm…around 70 degrees…holding dorado, billfish, tuna and even some crazy roosterfish! Normally NONE of these warm water species are around this time of year.

Gary did inform me that this past week, Muertos Bay, where his hotel is located, suddenly filled with krill turning the waters pink! The krill is very nutritious and brought lots of baitfish into the bay to feed.

Well, not surprisingly the bigger predatory sportfish followed the baitfish in and the feed was on which provided some wild crazy fishing for a number of species!

Check out this pelican standing in the middle of the krill-filled water! (again, thanks for the video Gary!)

Every week, it seems there are some crazy surprises. We’ll keep you posted.

WHERE ARE WE NOW!

We just wrapped up our biggest show of the season in Nashville at the Safari Club International Convention. Thanks to everyone who visited and we’re looking forward to everyone who signed and made reservations to come see us! We sure had a great time as almost 1000 vendors and exhibitors from over 30 countries were present (including us!) and I head reports that attendance broke records as visitor to the show from every state in the U.S. and some 14 countries also attended.

So…this week we are here in Salt Lake City at the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo. It’s the largest show in the west and they’re expecting something like 60,000 + folks to attend. It’s at the Salt Palace Convention Center in downtown Salt Lake City.

We’ll be in the booth from Thursday to Sunday so c’mon down and say hi and let’s set you up for fishing with us in La Paz this year!

WHALE WATCHING SEASON IN FULL SPEED!

It’s that time of year and we’re running our whale-watching trips out to Bahia Magdalena on the Pacific side right now. The whales have migrated all the way down from the Bering Sea and usually hang out in our waters through March before heading back up north.

If you’d like to have a great life-time experience, get in touch with us and we’ll get you set up!

That’s my story!
