CRAZY WEATHER MIXED WITH CRAZY FISHING!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Aug 28-Sept. 3, 2023

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: Typical for this time of year. Days are hot and humid in the 90’s and there’s always a chance of a quick rain shower or thunderstorm…mostly in the afternoon. But we got two gully-washers this week. One dropped 2 1/2 inches of rain on us in 30 minutes.

WATER: You would think after the rains they might be pretty muddied up with run-off, but waters are good. Mostly blue and pretty good visibility and temps in the hi-70’s to mid-80’s on the surface.

SPECIES CAUGHT: Dorado still the predominant species. But we got a nice jag of 15-50 pound yellowfin tuna and our first sailfish this week. Also caught: rainbow runners, jack crevalle, bonito, roosterfish, triggerfish, snapper, pargo, cabrilla, trevally.

OUR LAS ARENAS FLEET: Dorado, tuna and sailfish. The bigger dorado caught here. Tuna are early biters a bit of a drive down the coast. If you’re late, you miss the bite.

BREAKING UPDATE…today Sept. 3 as I’m putting this report together something happened at Las Arenas…the bite shut off completely! Hope it changes!

OUR LA PAZ FLEET: Best for dorado. Limits can come easily. Decent inshore for rockfish

MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

What a team! Captain Pancho and our amigo, John Ehlers from Colorado always rocking the big fish like this bull dorado.

That’s ALOT o’ meat on the table! Baja prime yellowfin tuna for Daniel and dad, Jim Bovee from San Diego.

Another good day for Karen and Chris Uyemura with Captain Jorge and more dorado to add to the fish ice chest to take home!

Andy Malone from Montana! On fire this week with his fishing took his first sailfish and our first of the season with Captain Jorge. The sail bit a live bait and Andy did a great job releasing the fish!

Darin Moriarity and Ron Wray with Captain Armando. This was not only Ron’s first trip with us, but the big bull was his first dorado ever! There are more dorado on the cleaning table plus some surprise rainbow runners…cousin to yellowtail.

Santa Clause on vacation! Our amigo, Rusty Cain with a huge bull dorado. The photo doesn’t do justice, but Captain Rogelio estimated this fish to roll in the 50-pound-class. The head is enormous!

Hi Taryn! Taryn Mitoma is always fun when she and dad come to visit and has a great pose with a day’s catch! Her dad says, “She catches all the fish!”

Whoa!!! Beast mode! Chris Uyemura and Captain Joel with a massive bull dorado and big smiles to go with it!

Dean Alvarez was here at the start of the tuna bite and has a couple fat ones to with his dorado.

Captain Jorge with Bill Lingo had a good day on the dorado spot!

Now THAT’s alot of variety! Mark and Alex Dirbyshire have been wanting to visit for a long time from Oregon and show off about 5 different species…dorado, snapper, triggerfish, pargo and trevally.

Sherri and Bob Rowe were way fun to visit us. Their first trip and they took home a nice load of dorado fillets. Here’s 1 day’s catch! They already plan to come back!

Montana in the house! First day on the water for Shani and Andy Malone. I think this is Shani’s fish! LOL

Big headed- bull dorado on the gaff for Travis Fries from Idaho. They had 3 nice days of fishing with us and his folks and family!

Herb Preszler and Iris are alway fun visitors and pose with a nice batch of tuna and a dorado on the beach at Muertos Bay. Herb is from the Sacramento area.

Captain Armando became new favorites with Shea and Nick Brown from Utah who had several good days including this one with a pair of slugger yellowfin tuna.

John and Nancy Quiring from Sacramento always do well. First day catch of big dorado on the beach.

Don’t let anyone tell you different! Tuna will tear you up. Good thing, Jim Bovee has some experience with big fish because he battled this yellowfin on a spinning rod for 45 minutes and runs maybe 50+ pounds.

Bob Rowe with his new buddy Captain Rogelio and Bob’s big dorado of the week!

The Laughon brothers from Bishop CA stuck some nice dorado posing on the beach at Bahia Muertos.

Tyler Ehlers with grandpa John and a quiver of mahi and one tuna for the day to add to the previous day’s catch!

Captain Jorge with two more of the Laughon Brothers (5 of them came down) on their first of 3 days fishing.

Love this photo! I think Andy Malone is pretty excited to catch his biggest-ever dorado with Captain Jorge.

Our Texas friends visiting us for the 2nd time this year. Randy Stolte and Brett Watts put a double pair of tuna on the cleaning table!

Day 2, John Quiring hit the tuna honey hole that produced 4 beefy yellowfin.

The excitement! A sailfish grabbing air. Andy Malone’s fish. Caught and released!

_________________________

What a crazy week. Could not have been more hectic or erratic! For those of you who know me, if I had hair it would’ve been on fire this week the way I was running around…except the rain woulda put it out!

Normally, any of these could have a big-time effect on the fishing:

NOT JUST A FULL MOON – BUT A SUPER FULL MOON

HUGE TIDE SWINGS

STRONG CURRENT

THUNDERSTORMS

TORRENTIAL RAIN

BIG WINDS

BIG WAVES

We had ALL of the above this week PLUS being pretty much completely sold out and packed with our fishermen!

But, here’s the thing…most of these things thankfully, all took place in the afternoon or evenings! The daytime conditions were not affected…hot…blue water…eager fish!

We had a couple crazy afternoons where the heaven’s literally dumped on us. Not sheets of rain! It was like someone just opened a giant spigot. In one storm, we got a whopping 2 1/2 inches of rain in just 30 minutes that turned La Paz into a giant river of mud and rushing water.

Cars and people swept away (fortunately no one seriously hurt and they rescued everyone)
Downtown streets were raging rivers with water up to car windows
Arroyos were category 5 rapids of mud and debris
Winds tossed waves 6′ into the air against the Malecon breakwater dousing cars driving by

Like I said, it was just fortunate that most of these things were AFTER everyone was off the water and could watch from safety with a cold one in their hands! But, this is the time of year when these things can come up at any time. Most lasted less than an hour (except for the full moon of course!).

As for the fishing, no effect! It was a GOOD week on so many levels!

The dorado still bit strong with most fish running 10-15 pounds but the larger bulls still lurk up to 40 pounds or so. Some real trophy fish still here.

We had some great surprises:

We finally got a consistent jag of yellowfin tuna! We haven’t had much tuna in two seasons, but we had some nice-grade fish in the 15-50 pound class with our Tailhunter Las Arenas fleet. I try not to get too excited because you just never know how long the tuna will stick around. They can be fickle and move fast. But, we’re due for a good solid tuna bite.

The thing with the tuna is that it’s a long boat ride to the spot. You don’t have to go out very far. But, the honey hole is quite a ways down south along the shore/ coast. And the bite is early. You gotta jump the spot while the fish are chewing. If you miss it…you miss it. That’s the chance you take and you’re probably too late to get back north and catch something else. It’s a swing for the fences, but can really be worth it. Or not…

We also got our first billfish of the season. I have no idea why the billfish haven’t shown up for months so hopefully, they’re ready to go. It was as single sailfish and it was (good job!) released so maybe we’ll see more along with marlin.

The other surprise were the roosterfish. Normally this is NOT roosterfish season. We get the big 50-100 pounders in the spring. If any are around this late, they are the fun 5-10 pounders. However, some of our anglers popped some 30-40 pound fish on the backside of Cerralvo Island.

Lots of bonito to bend rods all over the place. Inshore, we got some nice cabrilla, several species of pargo, rainbow runners, jack crevalle and trevally.

BREAKING UPDATE…today (SUNDAY) Sept. 3 as I’m putting this report together something happened at Las Arenas…the bite shut off completely! Hope it changes!

MEMOS:

BALANCES: If you’re coming down soon, don’t forget that your balances are due 45 days out. Get in touch with us.

BUGS: Everytime we have a strong rain, for about 2 weeks afterwards, bugs hatch like crazy. This means, flies, mosquitos, moths, butterflies, etc. Bring some repellant. Keep your hotel screens closed!

BAJA 1000: Is coming back to La Paz the 2nd week of November and everything has been sold out for months. However, we have a 3 BR condo on the beach with 4 restrooms available if anyone is interested. Contact me directly: Jonathan@tailhunter.com

That’s our story!

WHEW!…THAT’S MORE LIKE IT!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Bahia Suenos Fishing Report for Week of Aug. 19-26, 2023

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: Hurricane Hilary has come and gone. It’s back to hot, sunny and humid. Day temps are in the high 90’s.

WATER: It took a few days for the waters to clean themselves back up after the storm, but not it’s mostly back to blue and perfect fishing conditions.

SPECIES CAUGHT THIS WEEK: Dorado, bonito, skipjack, pargo, cabrilla, snapper, roosterfish, jack crevalle .

LAS ARENAS FLEET: It seemed that generally, there were fewer fish caught here, but more of the monster dorado were caught here.

LA PAZ: Seems that there are more dorado on this side and more action than Las Arenas, but not as many trophy fish.

MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Ralph Lopez used a gift certificate from his wife to fish with us all week and started the trip with some nice dorado like this one fishing with Captain Jorge.

Beast Mode!!! Captain Luis gives Dennis Cameron from Orange Co, CA a hand with this huge bull dorado. Dennis said he saw it swim by the transom. He flipped a bait on it and it turned…SLAMMED…then peeled off more than 100 yards of line in the first run!

Brian Chu brought the family of 4 down for a few days and started of the week with a nice load of dorado, here posing with just a few of their fish!

Bob Cowan and Jeff Loh have fished with us many times and always good to see them A good start at Bahia Muertos!

Craig Braswell is one of our Sacramento firefighters that has been visiting us for about 20 years. Great to have him down now that he’s retired and he cam with Dave Smith who is still with the department. Captain Pancho got them into a nice bite. “The Braz” is still able to fish even with bad gout (just had to toss that in there, Braz!) 😛

This is one of my new favorite first-timers! From Idaho, Ryder Lee had such a great time with us and us with him. He just graduated from 8th grade and poses with a hefty bull dorado with Captain Luis.

Cecilia Berumen says the bar is now set pretty high after 3 good days right after Hurricane Hilary. She did great on the dorado like this one!

The man behind the mask is Angel Navarro. First-time visitor with and gets to check a roosterfish off his bucket list. He released the fish as well! Good job.

Captain Armando poses with Tom Lelevich who got some nice filets to take home after 3 days fishing with his wife, Donna, celebrating their 30th anniversary with us!

Stefani and Steve Fries from Idaho are too much fun whenever they fish with us. They decided to take one day and fish the rocks and came back with quite a variety including, dorado, pargo, snapper and cabrilla. Oh and a bonito!

Captain Licho hoists this big-headed bull that Mike Zech (left) fought for the better part of an hour until his hands started cramping and he handed the rod to his buddy, Ryan, to finish off. In all Mike’s years fishing with us, this was his biggest.

It’s not always the size…it’s the moment. A lifetime smile from Ryder Lee and his first roosterfish. Caught and released!

We love having youngsters with us and there’s no denying that Hunter Lee is having a good time. Here posing on the beach at La Concha with one of his fish.

Ralph Burnett with Captain Jorge and a nice rack of fish to start the week!

After a good day of fishing, there’s nothing quite like that first icy cold one. Roy Trejo has the right idea.

Excellent eating variety on the cutting table! Cabrilla, pargo and dorado for Bobby Hira and Daryl Chang.

Yessir!!! Two pig dorado. Albert Leung and John Pak!

Shea and Nick Brown had a fun time with Captain Gerardo their first of 3 days on the water.

First-timer rocks it with Daryl Chang from Los Angeles with two of his dorado right after the storm.

Might be one of my favorite photos of the week! Just the sheer joy! Cecilia puts another one on the deck.

Good to have our 3 amigos back to visit us from Portland. Wes Perkins; Dennis McCleod and Roger Hall were with us all week and topped off their fishing with some massive dorado!

You know it’s a good fish when even Captain Boli smiles. Using his scale, Craig Braswell said they weighed this bull in at 38 pounds. The angle of the photo doesn’t do justice!

We had so much fun with Trisha Clark on her first rodeo with Tailhunter. She’s promising to come back!

Not a bad day at all! Steve Rons started the week with some medium bulls topped by this big boy toad dorado bull.

Ralph and Jorge!

___________________

Well, Hurricane Hilary moved off without too much fuss after a few days and gratefully it wasn’t that big of a deal. Some heavy rain and wind a times, but fairly “lightweight” as far as hurricanes go. We’re very fortunate. The biggest drawback was that we had a few days of not being able to fish.

After a storm like that leaves, you just never know how long it will take for things to bounce back. Fortunately, it didn’t take that long. We were back on the water as soon as the storm moved of and although it started somewhat slow, within another day, it was full-speed again witht the fishing.

Once again, just as it had been before the storm, the dorado were stacked and limits were the rule rather the exception. Most fish were in the 5-15 pound class and many many fish were released.

The exciting part is that there’s still some massive fish that were hitting this week. A good many were lost (that’s why their big). And the ones that were boated were easily 30, 40 and even 50-pound fish.

Live bait continues to be the best way to get bit.

Not much else in species mainly because the dorado are so prevalent, but we dig also catch pargo, snapper, cabrilla, jack crevalle, bonito and even some off-season roosterfish.

IMPORTANT NOTES

BUGS – The weather is back to being hot and humid and any time after we get any rain we have a big hatch of bugs. Everything from butterflies to mosquitos for about 2 weeks is out. Normally no bug problem. Good idea to bring some repellent. Wear long sleeves. Keep doors and windows closed.

BAJA 1000 – Will return again in November to La Paz. Every room in La Paz is already sold out. However, we have a 3 BR beach condo with 4 baths available for Nov. 13-19. If you’re interested e-mail me: Jonathan@tailhunter.com

COME GET YOUR STUFF – For almost 15 years, we’ve been storing fishing gear for our folks that come down so you don’t have to hassle dragging it on planes as well as the high cost. However, we can no longer afford to store so much gear. Some folks haven’t been down for years. This is our last year we’ll be able to do it then anything left over we’ll donate.

GET YOUR BALANCES PAID – If you got a booking with us this year, don’t forget your balances are due 45 days from arrival.

That’s our story!

HURRICANE HILARY BUMPS INTO US

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay / Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Aug. 11-18, 2023

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: Before the storm, it was up to the mid-to-upper 90’s and humid. Has gotten just a tad cooler since the storm arrived, but humidity is higher and the air is very heavy and wet. Forecast keeps changing. Maybe 1-2 days of rain expected, but more worried about the winds from Hilary. It will be in the 20 mph range here…enough to keep us off the water, but outside, I hear it’s blowing triple digits.

WATER: The bay is calm, but outside it’s a washing machine you don’t want to be in. Had some folks in a sailboat tell me they had 20-25 foot swells.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: Dorado and more dorado. One tuna hooked and lost. One billfish hooked and lost. Most likely a big striped marlin. Smaller roosterfish, jacks, bonito, rockfish inside.

LAS ARENAS FISHING: More variety of species, but not as many dorado. However, some of the larger dorado were coming up here.

LA PAZ FISHING: Dorado are as close as the tankers anchored in the bay!

NOTE: Saying it over and over. Our best part of the fishing season is also the time when we could see storms. Usually NOT a big issue, but you need to purchase trip insurance. Storms are part of fishing and there’s no refunds for weather-related cancelations, but the trip insurance will also help cover cancelled or delayed airline flight/ hotel rooms/ activities, etc.

MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG (LACK OF) PICTURES and the REST of the STORY…

Hilary’s angry eye moving up!

Jimmy Williams knows how to pose with a big dorado!

Captain Armando was out with Andrew Fernandez at Bahia Muertos.

Daniel Bovee rocked a couple of nice mahi as well. Daniel visits us several times a year.

Well…the fishing continued reall good…until it wasn’t.

And it has nothing to do with the fish leaving or anything like that.

It’s THAT time of year and little storm “Hilary” turned into a Category 3 tempest with 165 mph winds, rain and big seas. The good news is that it’s NOT hitting us directly. It’s not punching us right in the nose. However, it has long arms and those arms are giving us a nice glancing shove.

It’s enough that we’re getting rain and wind and unfortunately is shutting down the fishing for anywhere from 1-3 days depending on how fast this storm moves through and whether the La Paz Port Captain allows any boats to go out.

It can’t be avoided. It’s just part of this wacky-weather that’s all over the place these days although tropical storms are not unusual down here especially this time of year. It’s our best fishing, but also the greatest chance of a storm. You just never know.

Actually Hilary appears to be headed right towards S.California which might get a taste of a real hurricane.

At time time I’m writing this, Hilary is several hundred miles to the south of us, but is already generating winds up to 140 mph and up to 20 foot seas into the Sea of Cortez. Definitely not the kind of weather we want to be out in.

But, before that, we still had that great dorado bite going on that we’ve been experiencing for the last 3 months. The best dorado fishing that I can remember in 30 years. Still lots of 5-15 pound biters with an unusual amount of bigger 30-50 pound bulls. I only hope that after this weather passes, things will be back on track.

I have to apologize because if you know me and you’ve been reading my reports these 30-something years, you know that I always have a ton of photos.

Well…I don’t know what happened, but we’ve been having power outtages down here lately and somehow the flash drive where I stored this week’s photos got ERASED! Dangit, am so sorry and there’s not enough time to round up all the photos again. Many apologies. I guess for once, you’ll just have to see the few photos this week and also take my word for it that we WERE INDEED still catching dorado before the storm hit.

We’ll just have to see what’s on the other side of Hilary!

That’s my story!

BEST DORADO SEASON EVER?

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of July 29-Aug. 7, 2023

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: No doubt hot and humid! Stay hydrated and covered up. Common sense! It’s in the high 90’s to low 100’s in the daytime…normal summer temps. Actually maybe cooler than many parts of the U.S. strangely enough. But, humidity is high as well. Thankfully, the beach is right outside!

WATER: Mostly warm and blue. Surface temps on the water are high 70’s to low 80’s. Actually and strangely COOLER than normal! But great swimming, snorkel and scuba conditions.

SPECIES HOOKED THIS WEEK: Dorado, bonito, roosterfish, wahoo (lost), marlin (lost), pargo (2 types), snapper, cabrilla, jack crevalle, palometa, pompano

TAILHUNTER LAS ARENAS FLEET: Primarily dorado. Not as many as La Paz, but more of the bigger dorado. Plus inshore species like roosters, pargo and cabrilla.

TAILHUNTER LA PAZ FLEET: More dorado than La Arenas…usually…it changes all the time, but the LARGER of the larger dorado seem to be on this side. (30-50 pounders)

IMPORTANT MESSAGES IF YOU’RE COMING DOWN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS:

It’s hot. Dress accordingly with sunglasses, big brim hats, long sleeves, sunscreen and lots of water.
Your balances are due 45 days from arrival so get in touch with us if your balances are due.
The best part of our season is also hurricane season. Usually NOT an issue, but you never know with this wacky weather around the world these days. These are the tropis. TRAVEL INSURANCE is cheap and remember, there are no refunds for weather-related cancelations. Weather is part of the sport whether it’s sunny, windy, rainy…whatever. This is prime time for fishing and we are always sold out this time of year because fishing rocks, I wish we did, but we also have no control over the weather. Even if it’s a heavy rain storm for 1 hour or 1 day, it COULD affect your fishing; airline flight;

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Frank Kunze, our long-time Colorado, amigo, has been with us twice this year. We got him to put down the conventional fishing rod one day and only use his flyrod. Here’s his first fish of the day on the flyrod. It wasn’t his last! He released all his fish!

Captain Luis give Rose Vadnais a hand with a another big bull off the east end of Espirito Santo Island. They apparently had several other big boys on the line that got away!

Daniel always gets fish! This is Daniel Bovee’s 2nd trip this year to visit us and has been doing it for years. Great colors on this bull dorado taken near Bahia Muertos!

Yes! There are still roosters around. Maybe not the big pig slug roosters, but some fun 5-10 pounders can be lots of fun like this one that Darrell Manginelli hooked and released after fishing for dorado.

This is Sam Sybesma’s biggest doado every and he’s been fishing with us for years! Sam is about 6’3″ so you KNOW this fish is legit!

Always great to have Lee Carlson here with us. He got lots of fish on the conventional rod and reel, but took our his flyrod for this beauty. He released or donated all ths dorado this day.

Some good eating barred pargo that Daniel is holding. Winds came up, but still able to fish for a number of inshore species.

I lost count of how many big bull dorado Darrell Manginelli caught last week!

___________________________________

It’s been an unbelievable dorado season now for more than two months. After almost 30 years down here, I’d have to call it “historic” and hope I’m not jinxing the whole ball-o’-wax and shutting it off because our fisherfolk are having a ball.

They catching either the most fish ever. Or they are catching the biggest fish ever. Or they are catching maybe their first fish ever. Or they are catching their limits of fish faster than ever.

Either way, the dorao are sure checking alot of the boxes!

Most of the fish are running 5-15 pounds. Fun legit fish. Lots of those are so voracious that they are crashing the boats which are ending up with some fast easy limits. Many many of these fish are getting thankfully released.

But, wait…there’s also the big Mo’s out there as well. The pigs. The hogs. These bull dorado are all business and when you have a 20-60 pound fish pulling line and jumping and charging the boat, it’s more than most folks can handle and alot of fun. But, we’re also losing alot of these fish which is just part of the sport! You just never know when that next fish will or might be the fish of a lifetime.

But, the dorado continue to be the big story for our fishing.

That’s not saying there are no other species. We’ve got shots at billfish, wahoo, roosterfish, bonito, jack crevalle, pompano, snapper, pargo and cabrilla. The problem is that everyone is having way too much fun with the dorado and don’t care to invest the time or change tactics to chase the other species. Which is just fine as well! Go have fun!

We did get a little rain over the weekend and some jags of southern winds made it a tad bumpy for a few afternoons, but otherwise, there were always fish to be caught and places to find fish less windy.

That’s my story!

BIG MAHI LIKE I HAVE NEVER SEEN

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of June 19-26, 2023

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WEATHER – Someone flipped a switch about 2 weeks ago and we went from cool to blazing hot. Even the winds are hot. Definitely shorts and lots of sunscreen with the biggest hat you can bring. It’s in the mid-90’s which doesn’t seem too hot, but the humidity is running 50-70% which makes the air feel really heavy.

WATER – Mostly blue although surprisingly not as warm as it should be. Water temps on the surface are only about 72 which should be closer to 80. However, mostly really calm and flat except when the winds kick up creating chop. Finding fish means finding the warmer blue water .

WIND– No more chilly gusts for sure. But, now it’s been replaced by a hot breeze. Usually the breeze cools things down, but not the ones we’re getting right now. We did have one day when the northwest winds jacked up for a few hours and the water got bumpy. Then, it disappeared in a snap and there wasn’t a ripple on the ocean.

FISH SPECIES HOOKED THIS WEEK: Dorado and more dorado. Then more dorado. Roosterfish, jack crevalle, bonito, amberjack, marlin, trevally, pompano, cabrilla, triggerfish, rainbow runners, pargo lisa, pargo mulatto, snapper.

LAS ARENAS REPORT – Most of the week’s bigger model dorado were caught fishing with our Las Arenas fleet. Fish well into the 40-pound class. More species caught on this side as well. Pretty much everything in the list above.

LA PAZ REPORT – Not as many species, but if you wanted to load up on school-sized dorado and easy limits, this was the spot. Often fast easy action and dorado madness. Some nice cabrilla and snapper caught and some schools of small to medium roosters fun on light tackle.

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Three days of big dorado for Doug and Penny Nuffer, our amigos from Utah. Penny fought one dorado well over an hour estimated at over 50 pounds that broke off at the boat.

I love this photo! Al Hed and Mike Jennings from Washington wanted big roosters so they figured they would get an “edge” if Mike wore a chicken head. They insist it’s a rooster head, but I think it looks more like a chicken! It worked. They got a number of our larger roosters this week.

Incredible colors. Chris Bedsaul with Captain Jorge got a fish to match his shirt! Nice dorado and always fun to have Chris visit us.

First-time visitors, Warren Stewart and his wife Krisele with son Austin display 3 of their big bulls.

…and then there’s Mari, Bedsaul. This lady can fish and always takes great photos. Nice little rooster fish for a CPR (Catch…Photo…Release).

First day out was a good one for Allan and Cheryl Herman. That’s quite a haul of dorado on the table!

Some of our funnest first-timers from Colorado had to cancel their trip last year, but Kindra and Brian McGregor roared back with a full week of good dorado fishing and some big bulls like this one posed by Kindra.

Joe Morse from San Diego, brought his group of 7 amigos down and their first day was a good one on the dorado spot.

Captain Joel give Lisa Leduc a hand with this good-looking bull caught north out’ve La Paz Bay.

Wow! That’s a great triple for Captain Pancho flanked by Mike Jennings and Al Hed.

Terry and Stepanie Martell with Captain Armando on the beach at Bahia Muertos posing with 3 of their dorado catch.

Captain Jorge with Mari’s barred pargo. Tasty fish for the fish box!

Andy Lauber from Louisiana went to town on the light tackle one day off Cerralvo Island on these palometas (trevally) landing about a half-dozen

Marcus Yoo is a major in the U.S. Army and in between deployments he usually finds time to pay us a visit and, you can tell, he’s kind of a fun guy to have around! He spent two days fishing and one day diving.

Randy Rimple and Brian Hyland with a nice double shot pair of big dorado. They’re from the Sacramento area.

Happy Birthday to me! Cory Mahan celebrated his 45th with us with some snorkeling and fishing and started things out with a pair of nice bulls on the first day of fishing!

Dion Hyland cradles an early morning bull to kick off the day of fishing.

Captain Armando give Terry and Stephanie Martell help posing with a couple of their first-day catch of dorado. They added more over the next 4 days!

First time visitors Vicki and Scott Shaw were great to have visit. On the beach with Captain Arcangel and more dorado on the table in the foreground too!

Captain Armando has alot of fish cleaning ahead of him, but doesn’t mind after a day like this with Randy Rimple and Brian Hyland and a table full of dorado.

Big jack crevalle in the hands of Big Mike Jennings! These are tough-fighting fish!

Just another day of big dorado for Doug and Penny! They had 3 days of this kind of fishing!

Big smile under that hoodie from Brian McGregor who hit the dorado schools big time with Captain Rogelio all week. Brian is from Colorado and stayed the whole week. First-time visitor!

It’s Mari again with another great catch. Captain Jorge hold the gaff and the dorado.

Captain Jorge, Steve Martin and Dion Hyland with a nice triple!

Whoa!!! This dorado stretches from one side of the panga to the other! Mike and Al with the pose and smiles!

Taller than him? Al Hed holds it up while Mike watches.

________________________________

OK…I guess you can figure out what’s been going on this last week-or-so just by looking at the photos!

We have dorado…and we have more dorado. The the surprising part is the amount of dorado and the sheer SIZE of some of these dorado. I’ve seen alot of big dorado down here in 30 years, but I cannot remember a time when we had such a concentration of BIG dorado. Fish running 20-40 pounds have not been uncommon and larger ones have been lost.

Take a look at the photos. These are the ones that were photo’d. For every one in the fish box, clients have told me there are some days when they are catching-and-releasing smaller ones as fast as they can get a hook into the water.

Some boats are finding huge schools of these smaller 5-10 pound fish and it can go crazy.

And then there are the larger ones cruising on the periphery of the school-sized fish or free-swimming solo or in small groups. These are powerful, crafty and acrobatic fish and folks are having alot of fun…and frustration catching them!

Some days folks are actually complaining because “We’re only catching small ones!” or “We only caught two larger ones!” I guess we’re getting a bit spoiled. All fun stuff.

I have no idea how long this will last, but we’ll ride it as long as it goes. There’s some big bunches of sargasso weeds building north and east of the city which continues to hold many of these schools plus the dorado are also gathering around the commercial shark buoys as well.

So….I’d say 95% of the catch has been dorado.

But that’s not the only fish around. There are alot of other species. It’s just that the dorado have been so prevalent and so dynamic, that folks are having too much fun and it’s too easy. There’s that old saying…”Don’t leave fish to find fish.”

So, that’s not to say there are no other fish biting. The roosterfish are still around. There’s pargo, cabrilla, snapper, trevally, pompano, bonito, jack crevalle and even a few billfish. However, most of these have been incidental catches. The focus is on these dorado schools right now!

I think alot has to do with the temperature. We went from cool and breezy weather that was actually cold straight to hot and humid summer weather. It’s like we skipped springtime weather. Temps are in the mid-90’s now and I think we’re in for a warm summer like much of North America.

That’s my story!

GETTING BETTER EVERY WEEK! (What full moon?)

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of June 3-10, 2023

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

OVERALL RATING (Scale of 1-10) : 7

WEATHER – It’s been a beautiful week with mostly sunny skies and great beach weather in the high 80’s and low 90’s. However, the mornings are still a big nippy or downright cold with windy conditions worthy of a sweatshirt or light jacket you can take off when the sun comes up.

WATER – Waters are still colder than normal. But, they are a bit warmer every week with more blue water showing up. Water temps in La Paz Bay is only about 68 on the surface, but outside the bay up to about 73 degrees. It’s still cooler than it should be.

SPECIES CAUGHT THIS WEEK – dorado, roosterfish, pargo, snapper, cabrilla, marlin, tuna, pompano, trevally, bonito, jack crevalle, amberjack, rainbow runner, yellowtail

LAS ARENAS FISHING – More variety in the fish catch. No fish predominant, but you have a good chance of getting some of everything. In fact, most of the fish in the list above might be caught.

LA PAZ FISHING – Much more dorado with schools of school-sized fish north of he city and in the channel between the peninsula and Cerralvo Island/ Espirito Santo Island. If you hit the right spot, it can be crazy wild. Some larger fish also being found up to the 40-pound class.

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT –

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Maybe one of the most stunning dorado many of us have ever seen. This completely irredescent blue bull dorado caught off Espirito Santo Island by Hunter Burkhart from Tennessee while fishing with Captain Rogelio is simply incredible and rare.

First-time amigos from the Sacramento area, Mario and Tony Lerma with their buddy Mike Wilson who started out their week on the tuna school east of Cerralvo Island. Said this week was the “best fishing trip they ever had.”

Steve Bryan our amigo from Seattle WA rightfully earns the title of “Roosterfish King. ” Each year he comes down for about 2 weeks and fishes about 8-10 days only for our bigger roosterfish. This year, he caught 8 of these giants and released all of them like the one pictured here. Most of his fish are in the rest of this week’s report.

There are some bigger model dorado around these days like Robby Scale’s big bull he landed off Las Arenas in the channel between Cerralvo Island. Robby was on his 2nd trip with us from Colorado.

Our Wyoming amigo, Brandon McGarr with a large striped marlin while fishing with Captain Pancho. The marlin was released. He also had a big blue marlin on as well as a big bull that all broke lines close to the boat after long battles.

Texas in the house with Brett and Paula Watts and a great variety of good eating cabrilla and snapper and a big triggerfish headed to the freezer.

I love these folks and the photos they take every year. Never ever boring! This is Jeanne and Ray Cabales from San Diego with a pair of dorado and looking like they need some lunch!

Brett and Paula again with a different day and a completely different catch with a cleaning table full of yellowfin tuna.

Maybe one of the prettiest photos of the week. Captain Pancho and Robby Scales just outside of Bahia Muertos with a big boy roosterfish. Catch and release!

A very happy Cecilia Casias from Los Angeles with a beautiful dorado on the gaff. More unusual is a photo of our captain Arcangel who has been with us almost 30 years and rarely ever smiles in photos!

Tanya McGarr from Wyoming looks a little tapped out because this monster rooster is the 3rd big rooster of the day. She never handed off the rod or asked for help and battled all 3 fish to the boat by herself before releasing them!

This is our popular Captain Gerardo. This massive rooster was actually caught by Bill Raddock, but Bill was so tired after 3 big fish he could not lift this big beast. Even Gerardo who is about 6’2″ and maybe 230 pounds has issues lifting it up. He says it’s the largest rooster ever on his boat. The fish was released.

Behind the mask, that’s John Vondrak (I think!) with another rooster in the boat for a quick photo and release.

First-time visitor, Tony Lerma from Sacramento with a big boy bull dorado he caught and landed not far from Las Cruces north of La Paz.

It’s those people again…Jeanne and Ray Cabales celebrating on the beach with another good day catch of rainbow runner, pargo, snapper, cabrilla and triggerfish.

That’s gonna make some tasty sashime or seared steaks. Yellowfin tuna caught by Paula and Brett Watts from San Antonio TX.

Henry Vuong has been fishing with us for years and brought his girlfriend Cecilia fishing and, of course, she lands the most and biggest fishes. Henry always fishes with Captain Arcangel and is coming back for a 2nd trip in September.

Love the face that Bill Raddock is making here! He really wanted a big roosterfish and caught three right off the bat one day and released them all. Bill is from Kentucky.

Drew Reesor from Tennessee is a hunting guide from Tennessee, but made his first trip to visit us in La Paz. Fishing with Captain Rogelio produced a number of dorado including this big macho bull dorado.

We all remember this special days when dad took us fishing! It’s hard to tell, but I believe this is young Hudson Cileu from San Diego who gets a hand from Captain Rogelio on his dorado.

Captain Pancho posing with Tanya McGarr and another yellowfin tuna. There were 2-3 days when we had a nice healthy bite of tuna off Cerralvo Island.

More new friends from Texas, this is Randy and Linda Stolte with an incredible variety of fish on the table including dorado, snapper, pargo, rainbow runner, yellowtail, cabrilla and triggerfish. They donated all of their catch except for some they brought back to our Tailhunter Restaurant to cook up!

Jason Cileu from San Diego had just one day to fish with his young sons and they got a mess of dorado and Jason also got this nice little roosterfish as a bonus. He let it go after the quick photo.

I lose track of all the big roosterfish Steve Bryan catches every year when he visits us. I think this is number 7 or 8. He gets so many big fish everyone calls him “Rooster King” and tease him that he’s catching the same fish over and over because he sportingly releases all his fish.

________________________________

I suppose this is just another week where you can just look at all the photos and know we’ve been catching fish! And let me tell you this is just a fraction of the photos I wish I had more room to post.

For all the “full moon” talk, we had a huge big moon this week, but if it had any effect, I can only imagine what the fishing might have been if it was not so full. Who really cares? Fishing was pretty solid!

We’re still not at full speed. However, with each week, we’re edging forward and overall, it sure seems to be getting better. Lots of smiles and folks that want to take fish home are taking fish home. They might not necessarily catch the particular species that targeted like “giant roosterfish” or a “wahoo.” But that’s why these are trophy fish! They are harder to find and definitely fight harder!

But, whatever might get missed, other species seem to fill the gap.

And we are still catching a whole pallet of species. Dorado schools are becoming more prevailant with school-sized 5-10 pound fish bunching up, especially north of La Paz. Larger free-swimming fish up to the 40-pound class have also been making their presence known with some very large fish getting lost.

We’re seeing more billfish with some big striped marlin getting hooked and released and some larger blue and black marlin well over the 300-pound class breaking lines and hearts!

Also, while folks are having fun with the smaller roosterfish that can be a real kick on light tackle, we caught some of the largest roosterfish of the season this past week. There were easily fish running 40-60 pounds and some arguably up to 80+ pounds. It’s hard to know exact weights since we’re releasing all the roosters and can only estimate these massive fish sizes!

We’ve also had several nice jags of tuna show up. They’ll pop up for a day or two then disappear, but we’ve already caught more tuna this year so far than all of last season combined! The size of the fish varies from little 5-8 pound “footballs” up to 30 and 40-pound class sluggers.

If you wanted to stay inshore you have have fun in the “aquarium” fishing for snapper, cabrilla, triggerish, pargo, jacks, pompano and more!

SHE SAID “YES!” (Catch of the Week!)

Yvonne, Gerry and Captain Armando. And some nice tuna!

Quick shout-out to Gerry Hermosillo who proposed to his lady Yvonne Sockyma over dinner while here this week! He proposed to her at the same waterfront table where they had one of their first dates. Congratulations to them both! Oh…and they also caught fish this week too!

That’s my story!

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A WEEK MAKES!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fshing Report for Week of May 19-25, 2023

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WEEKLY RATING – (scale of 1-10). I give it a 6. It was about a 3-4 for weeks!

WIND – Finally gave us a break from those gusty cold winds we’ve had for months!

WATER – As winds have diminished, water temps have risen. Water has also gotten clearer and less cloudy.

TEMPS – High 60’s / Low 70’s at night to High 80’s and Los 90’s in the day time.

BAIT – Sardines, mackerel, bullitos, caballitos, strips and chunks or fresh bonito

LAS ARENAS FISHING

Still lots of species, but increasingly more of the warm-water species as the temps rose and winds cut back. Still getting pargo, snapper, cabrilla and others, but more and larger roosterfish, dorado and wahoo now.

LA PAZ FISHING

Waters stayed largely colder than Las Arenas most of the week, but late in the week temps rose a bit more and we’ve gone from rockfish to more dorado action.

FISH CAUGHT THIS WEEK:

Dorado, marlin, tuna, wahoo, pargo, snapper, grouper, bonito (3 kinds), jack crevalle, amberjack, yellowtail, sierra, rainbow runners, barracuda, cabrilla, triggerfish, roosterfish.

AMIGOS VISITING FROM: Utah, Kansas, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Oregon, Texas, Washington, Montana, Colorado, South Carolina, California, Honduras, Michigan, Wisconsin. We had a full-house!

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Finally, some of the larger roosterfish started to show with Captain Gerardo and Ron Woita from Oregon who spent the better part of a week chasing the roosters. Each day they seemed to get a little bigger. Here’s one of the larger models with lots of smiles! All roosters were released all week.

Captain Pancho gives Nancy Enright from San Diego a hand with a good-looking bull dorado!

Technically, our first marlin of the season caught by our long-time amigo, Art Flippin from Colorado who was on his 2nd visit to us. He was here in April as well. The marlin was deep hooked and unable to be released.

Now THIS is a healthy legit big-boy cabrilla! David Noble was on his first trip with us and took this guy just off Espirito Santo Island where we’ve found a number of these larger fish.

All the way from S. Carolina, Dr. Bob Garrison hooked this tasty barred pargo just off the shallow beach near Punta Arenas.

The right kind! It was a good week for the wahoo to finally show up. Lora Burke pulled this ‘hoo off near Cerralvo Island.

Armando with Karl Davis and Don Markus the day the dorado finally started to chew near Las Arenas! They were a little late this year, but finally arrived. Hopefully to stay around a bit!

Marie Wirtz just had the one day to squeeze in a day of fishing and boated a number of species like this roosterfish she photo’d and released!

Somewhere behind the gaff Sue Stanley from San Diego is smiling as she tries to lift her big cabrilla with help from Captain Alfredo.

Yup! We even had some football tuna show up of Cerralvo Island. That’s Ryan and his dad Bruce Bonsack from the Seattle area.

Here’s Ed Aguilar and Kent Markus with a nice variety for their first day on the water including dorado, snapper, cabrilla, pompano and trevally!

Talk about a banner day! On 2 pangas, they caught Mark, Ryan and Bruce Bonsack from Washington caught 5 wahoo and several more were lost!

Texas in the house! Good amigo Allen Cazier with Captain Licho holding the gaff on another of those large cabrilla off Espirito Santo Island.

That’s alot of good looking fish meat on the cleaning table! Matt Shipley from Texas and Kelly Kartchner from Utah have trevally, pargo and dorado ready to get into the ice chests!

First timers Michael and Louise McMichael always had the best smiles. They were on the water that day the dead whale was found floating offshore holding all the dorado anyone could want like these!

I can see Captain Gerardo with a big small and I think that’s Sam Woita from Kansas behind the mask and dorsals of another big roosterfish. (released!)

Bob Stanley from San Diego with a good-looking cabrilla for the fish box with Captain Alfredo lending a hand!

Marie Wirtz and our Captain Victor with a lengthy colorful dorado. She’s from Bend, Oregon.

The story I got is that Denise Peters hooked the fish and fought it, but finally it got the best of her and she handed it to my long-time amigo, Don Peters, who finished off the big dorado. They came to visit us from Oklahoma.

John Pooley and Billy Harrison with some nice variety after their first day on the water with pargo, snapper, cabrilla and triggerfish.

Of course, Lori Thorpe caught the “big one” a nice dorado with Captain Arcangel. Husband Jeff helps the pose. Other species on the cutting table.

Captain Victor and Arthur Wirtz and another rooster for a photos and release.

Diane Kosnosky knows how to fish and always puts fish in the box whenever she visits like this solid cabrilla. Diane is from Washington.

Ed Aguilar was fun to have visit this week and he nailed this trophy dorado out’ve Bahia Muertos.

On the flyrod! Dave Noble with a cute little roosterfish for the photo and release.

Guy Markus and Steve Wright on their 2nd trip visiting us in La Paz started their fishing week with a pargo liso (mullet snapper); a rare barracuda; 2 rainbow runners and a triggerfish.

Jim Elrod from Bakersfield was visiting us for the first time and gets a hand with this dandy bull dorado from his amigo, Luis, to get the great photo.

Lots of fine eating and a day full of action for Don, Karl and Captain Armando who has his work cut out for him cleaning all these cabrilla and pargo!

We finally strarted to see dorado with our La Paz fleet and around Espirito Santo Island. Asa has one for the fish box and dinner back at Tailhunter Restaurant.

You can’t see her, but Lora Burke is back there helping hold up her striped marlin. They couldn’t release the fish.

_____________________________________

Let’s start by saying that the fishing still is NOT up to where it should be at this time of year.

However, compared to what it’s been like for the past month, it’s a zillion-times waaaaay better!

Here’s the deal. Just like the winter which was harsh down here, we continued with chilly weather, strong winds, cloudy overturned water and a chillier-than-normal ocean. That meant really scratch fishing pretty much all of April and May when we should have been getting bit pretty nicely.

Well, this past week the sun got warmer. The winds gave us a break. The ocean turned bluer. The rough current settled down. And not surprisingly it made all the difference.

If you just look at all the photos or compare them to the previous reports, anyone could tell our fishing was markedly improved.

No doubt there’s still cooler waters down below the surface which produced cold-water species like yellowtail, rainbow runners, amberjack, several species of pargo, sierra, cabrilla (some huge ones!) plus the usual bonito and jack crevalle.

However, with the warmer water, we got more pompano, palometa (trevally), the larger roosterfish, but also the much-desired warm-water pelagic species like some wahoo,;our first few marlin of the season; and finally some dorado!

In fact, one day there was a dead whale near Cerralvo Island. According to one of our anglers, there were “hundreds” of dorado everywhere flashing through the waters and as many as 20 pangas were out there with everyone completely bent and dorado flying everywhere. Everyone nailed limits of 10-pound class schoolie-sized dorado.

Then, as the week went on, the dorado got bigger with more 20-30 pound fish in the counts!

Then, there were the wahoo. We knew they were there, but they sure were reluctant to bite. Well, they finally came to the party. One day we had 5 back to the beach and another 4-5 lost! Some of these wahoo were conservatively estimated 50-60 pound fish or larger.

One day, we even had football-sized tuna show up as well.

Additionally, with the bigger ladyfish baits finally swimming along the shallows, not surprisingly the larger roosterfish in the 40-70 pound class also started biting. We’ve been waiting for several weeks! But, even without them, there were good numbers of 5-15 pound roosters to have fun.

If the weather continues to improve, I expect the fishing will also improve.

Additionally, the unusual fish arrivals continued! A few weeks ago, we got rare totuava in the counts. Illegal to keep so they were released, but those fish are usually found way up 1000 miles north in the Sea of Cortez and I’ve never seen totuava down here.

Then, we got a few more species that I’ve never seen down here in 30 years:

Captain Pancho with a red-bearded-brotula (brotula a la lengua).

A star-studded grouper caught by Mark Bonsack

Lora with another grouper also called a baqueta by locals.

All-in-all an interesting and much better week. What a difference a week makes!

That’s my story!

ACTION IMPROVES AS WINDS DIMINISH

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Bahia Suenos Fishing Report for Week of April 17-24, 2023

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ FISHING VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

The pargo or schooling and spawning in the shallow and exciting to see but real horses to try to pull out’ve the rocks. However, Mike Luna from Utah got this big guy out while fishing with Captain Victor! They are often willing to bite ,but most are lost because of sharp teeth and scales and they head back to the rocks! Nice catch!

We’ve know Cole Chavira since he was about 3 feet tall. He’s from the San Diego area and an excellent angler who has been in La Paz a zillion times. He picked up this roosterfish on the east side of Espirito Santo Island. Nice to see the roosters start to move in. The fish was released.

Our amigo, Doctor Art Flippin, had just one day to fish and was drifting the shallows over the rocks fishing for cabrilla and pargo and got surprised by this nice bull dorado. Art looks kinda happy! He did also get pargo, jacks, cabrilla and rainbow runner as well. Art lives in Colorado.

Big smile from Sophia with a tasty barred pargo ready for the fish box. Tough fighting fish, but great eating!

Captain Victor has a smile as he tries to help Rita Luna with her rainbow runner. Cousins to yellowtail, the fish are schooling up over the shallow areas right now and make great sashime and cooked up as well.

Our long-time amigo, Mark Bonsack from Washington comes down several times a year and is an excellent angler. He had just one day to fish, but rocked it with two hefty pargo liso. Tough to pull out’ve the rocks and most fish are lost. As a matter of fact, Mark says they broke off 4 others!

I think I’m coming over for fish tacos. Our amigo, Jimmy Williams was with Phil Desautels and Phil Perrone and I see dorado, ca brilla, pargo and yellow snapper on the table. They got hit by the winds, but these guys have experience and were able to hide in a cove and found a honey hole of fish!

East side of Cerralvo Island is a light tackle mecca. Art Flippin has a slugger jack crevalle he caught and released. The jacks are cousins to the roosterfish and fight just as hard, but don’t have the “mohawk” dorsal fin.

Mike Luna with Captain Victor on the beach. Check out the two nice pargo liso and the rainbow runner on the table, but the HUGE palometa (trevally) on the table is also a trophy fish!

_____________________________

It’s all about the wind. It’s been that way all winter.

But finally, after a horrendous few months, the winds seem to be diminishing somewhat. Fortunately, during those crazy rough months, I warn folks about the winds so we don’t have too many anglers. But this week, the season started to kick in just in time as the winds cut back back on us a bit to allow for some decent fishing.

Early in the week, we got into quite a variety of fish.

It looks like the big pargo have come inshore to spawn. These tough fish are schooling over the rocks and are difficult fighters but great sport. Even the smaller 5-10 pounders can be brutally frustrating with their sharp teeth and scales plus their ability to get back into the rocks. We did get some larger 15-25 pounders, however, and many were lost to the rocks.

The same areas also held rainbow runners, barred pargo, snapper, smaller yellowtail, amberjack, cabrilla as well as bonito and jack crevalle making for some excellent fulls-speed action. As well, we’re starting to see some roosterfish in the area up to about 20 pounds plus a few free-swimming dorado moving into the area which keeps it promising.

Later in the week, the winds kicked in again and the only folks out on the water enjoying were the kiteboarders and windsurfers.

Check out this video of the channel in front of Cerralvo Island (turn up your volume)!

It was blowing even stronger before this video was taken.

It should get calmer with each passing week. Fingers crossed!

That’s my story!

UP DOWN (AND SIDEWAYS) FISHING ACTION

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Bahia Muertos/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Mar. 28-April 6, 2023

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

A bit longer than normal because there was alot to catch up on, but hope you find it interesting!

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

These barred pargo can be awfully tough to pull out’ve the rocks and are great fighters, but super tasty on the table, especially cooked up whole. Russ Osterstein was staying at Gary Wagner’s Rancho Costa at Bahia Muertos when he got this pair.

Katie Delsaso and her amiga have big smiles posing with this legit pair of spring-time yellowtail while at Rancho Costa.

John Saggese had only one day to squeeze in for fishing and hit one of the least windy days when he was out with Captain Armando from the Tailhunter Fleet in La Paz. The day paid off with this legit yellowtail.

Debbie Jackson got her crew of amigos out with us on one of those lucky days when the winds gave us a little brake and resulted in a nice variety of yellowtail, sierra, bonito and dorado.

Some great eating as this nice sierra ended up as fish tacos in La Paz. It was caught by Sara McCarthy fishing with the Tailhunter Fleet in La Paz just off Punta Arenas.

Sorry this one is once again later than usual!

For almost 30 years, I’ve tried to do these every week, but as many of you know, we’ve been on the road now for almost 4 months doing the fishing and hunting shows and just finished our more recent show in Long Beach CA at the Bart Hall Fishing & Boating Show. The reports are hard to do after 4 or 5 days talking in the booth for 10 hours or so and coming back to a hotel room or driving several hundred miles a day.

Well, I lost my voice about a month ago at the Pacific Coast Sportsmans Show…I still haven’t gotten it back fully and then came down with a case of bronchitis, a low-grade fever and several other crazy ailments from just a little too much wear-and-tear from all those road miles and shows.

On top of all that, well…

Even I get tired of saying there’s really been no fishing because it’s been windy and rough plus, I wanted to wait a tad until I at least had something to report.

So, that’s my excuse. And I’m sticking to it. We have one more show to do (more on that below) and plus the weather is getting better and the fishing season will soon kick in full-speed so we’ll get back to our regular schedule.

Plus…I’m headed home to La Paz finally! Gotta get fishing!

In a nutshell…Fishing is still up-and-down relative and dictated by how much wind is blowing and how rough the seas happen to be. Not much of anyone out fishing which is few and far between trying to figure out which days will be the least windy and even then fishing can be difficult or, in extreme cases, simply having to cancel the trips completely. More wind on the way.

However, in most years, as we get closer to May, the winds calm down. Right now, the trick is figuring which days the wind won’t blow because there are definitely some fish to be caught and if the winds finally abate, would not be surprised if fishing blows up nicely!

For now…Catches have been mostly inshore to include sierra, jacks, bonito, snapper and some larger yellowtail from 10-30 pounds. Some dorado also thrown in here and there.

Oh…one exciting piece of news. Got our first roosterfish of the season!

Young Mr. Meadows had a bit of thrill with this roosterfish which he released.

LAST SHOW FOR THE TAILHUNTER 2023 ROAD TOUR

What a great time we had at the Long Beach Convention Center last week at the Bart Hall Fishing & Boating Show. After a 3 year-hiatus, the show was great fun and thank you to so many of our friends who came by to say hi and book with us to visit in 2023!

Now…our last show of the year is something really different.

We’re headed to the NRA (National Rifle Assoc.) Meeting and Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana this week for a 3 day show April 14-16 (Friday/ Saturday/ Sunday). It seems like a short show and awfully far from any ocean, especially us in Mexico. However, they are expecting some 90,000 visitors from ALL OVER THE WORLD at the show. YEOW! So, this should be interesting.

If you’re in the area or even if you’re not, come check out this huge show and all the interesting exhibits!

Here’s more info. Click the link!

https://www.nraam.org/

After that, we finally get to go home in La Paz and we’ll see ya’ll there!

Hope you and yours have a safe, happy and peaceful Easter!

That’s my story!

LA PAZ IS UNUSUALLY QUIET

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 3-9, 2022

MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Our very own, Jorge Romero who managers Tailhunter’s Tecolote Transportation Company took a day off to get out on the water and by all counts, he sure had a nice day on the dorado schools. He said not much of anyone else was on the water.

Eduardo Gomez, who works for Mattel Toys in Mexico, came out with his wife and caught a limit of dorado. All on live bait.

Since it’s off-season and not much of anyone fishing, Jorge took another day off to get out on the water and racked this pretty bull dorado just south of Bahia Muertos. Jorge also said he had two wahoo bite him off and briefly had a marlin on the line as well.

________________________

Another typical windy rough week on the water, but that’s to be expected this time of the year. Town is surprisingly quiet as well. Normally, alot more tourists and snowbirds are around, but I’m hearing and seeing around the city and from businesses that it’s amazingly sedate this year. Certainly alot fewer than expected or normal for the holiday season.

Fishermen are few or non-existent as this time of year can be particularly rough and difficult to be on the water. About the only ones fishing are locals who have the luxury of being able to pick-and-choose the calmer days to give fishing a try. Even then, some of them are telling me it can get pretty rough even though the sun is out.

However, there are fish to be caught. Friends have caught good numbers of cold-water fish like sierra and small amberjack and yellowtail along with reef fish like pargo, snapper and cabrilla.

Nevertheless, there’s an unusual number of dorado still hanging out if you can find the warm patches of water. I’ve even heard of an occasional wahoo or marlin getting hooked. Crazy that they are still around with the waters cooling off and turning greener. These are warm water fish and normally, we would have seen the last of them back in November.

That’s my story!
