Steve Green from Alaska staying at Rancho Costa in Bahia de los Muertos took a nice big cabrilla with some afternoon fishing dragging a deep diver. Thanks Gary Wagner for the photo.

You can tell it’s a little chilly when folks from Alaska like Mic Ward is wearing long pants and fleecewear! But another nice cabrilla off the rocks while staying at Rancho Costa.

Captain Moncho working for Rancho Costa there in Muertos Bay used a Rapala to hang this grouper with Chuck Chandler from Idaho.

CHILLY AND COLD KEEPS THE FISHING TO INSHORE SPECIES

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 5-12, 2017

The cold and windy conditions returned this past week which was the downside. The upside is that there weren’t many folks fishing. But, that’s how it is in the winter off-season. The fishing that could be had was confined mostly to inshore fishing so we couldn’t follow up on last-week’s yellowtail bite over at the sound end of Cerralvo Island. Or look for mackerel.

That being said, slow trolling off the rocky areas of Punta Perrico and just outside the point at Bahia de los Muertos using Rapalas. The areas also produced yellow snapper, jack crevalle and barred pargo. Just off the drop-off, we also found some bonito. Encouragingly, we also spotted some rooster fish off the Arenas lighthouse, but the fish weren’t interested and were moving fast.

Looks like there’s going to be a bit more wind this coming week and a chance of rain. We’ll keep you posted.

WHALES WATCHING SEASON IN FULL SWING

Our yearly whale-watching tours in Bahia Magdalena are in full swing right now. The whales are here usually until mid-March. Check out this video sent to us by our Tailhunter Restaurant manager, Gerry Becerra. Turn up your sound! Write us directly for more info and we’ll set you up for an incredible time!

roger-thompson-tags-golden-grouper-2-17-tags

Not just a pretty fish, but a pretty photo! I hope our amigo and ace fisherman, Roger Thompson, frames this photo of his golden grouper. He’s caught a ton of great fish over the years, but this one is especially cool. He was fishing with his favorite Captain Hugo and took this on a…(wait for it)…a trolled Rapala!

Carl Lange and Ken Gragg from Bakersfield visit us 2-3 times a year and are two of our best winter-time fishermen. As Ken told me, “We caught the only two dorado in the bay!” It’s not normal to see warm-water fish like this in the winter.

Talk about unusual fish in the winter…TUNA? Our own captain Armando was out with his amigo from La Paz and they tied onto these two 30-pound class yellowfin tuna right off the beach near the old Hotel Las Arenas in shallow water using mackerel and squid.

Donna Thompson always gets fish and on this particular day, she nailed two nice yellowtail…our first documented yellowtail of the season…off the south end of Cerralvo Island and they lost a few more they couldn’t stop from busting off while trolling Rapalas with Capt. Hugo.

Happy smile from Chuck Chandler of Idaho with a nice fat cabrilla! Great eating.

Our friend Gary Wagner who owns the Rancho Costa Hotel and the famous Giggling Marlin Bar in Cabo with a nice cabrilla and Ken Ward from Alaska sort of photo-bombing with a sierra over Gary’s head.

It was a great week to pull big fish out’ve the rocks! Steve Green from Idaho with another fat cabrilla.

Not an usual combination this week! Ken Gragg with the cabrilla and Carl Lange with a sierra and their favorite Captain Pancho.

jack-from-la-ventana-yellowtail-tags-2-17

Jack got into the big yellowtail as well. You can see the deep-running Rapala sticking out’ve the fish’s mouth. He was working that area at the south end of Cerralvo Island just across from where he was staying in La Ventana.

Here we come, Oregon! We’ve done 3 weeks of shows now…Denver…Sacramento…and Seattle and we’re doing great with reservations! The Tailhunter Tour now takes us to the largest show in the Pacific Northwest. From Wednesday to Sunday, we’ll be at the Portland Expo Center. More info below! Come see us and let’s talk about fishing in La Paz!

WHAT A DIFFERENCE WHEN THE WIND GIVES US A BREAK!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Jan. 28-Feb. 5, 2017

What a difference a week makes! Whereas the past few weeks we had the regularly season strong winds that really stirred things up and made most days unmissable, this past week we had some of the nicest weather in quite a while. It was still on the cool side (our staff used the word “COLD!”), but it’s all relative, right? It still usually required fishing with jackets and sweatshirts. But, having some flat water and lower winds made all the difference.

It wasn’t wide open or crazy fishing by any stretch, but generally speaking, at least we caught fish and there were some real surprises. In addition to the usual cold-water fish we catch this time of year that included inshore species like cabrilla, snapper, sierra, bonito and cargo, we also saw some of the quality fish like yellowtail as well as dorado and tuna.

The yellowtail aren’t a real surprise, although maybe they are a tad early. It’s great news because these are the first yellowtail we’re seeing. But, the real surprise was also having warm-water species like dorado and tuna also in the same areas! Those are the kind of species we might see in May or June mixed together. Again, nothing spectacular in the bite, but still really a bonus to go out on the water and get species like these!

One of the best spots was at the south end of Cerralvo Island. We found some mackerel in the area which is great candy-bait for these fish but also trolling deep-running crank baits like the Rapala 15’s and 30’s worked some of these big fish up.

Hopefully the winds stay down, but generally the windy months continue until March. We’ll keep you posted!

HERE WE COME PORTLAND SPORTSMANS SHOW!

One of our funnest shows and the largest in the Pacific Northwest, we’ll be in Portland this week from Wednesday to Sunday in the Tailhunter booth! We’re looking forward to seeing you!

Here we come Portland! Jill and I will be bringing the new Tailhunter booth plus new shirts and brochures to the Portland Expo Center this week. We’ll be at the Pacific Northwest Outdoor Show from Wednesday to Sunday. Here’s more info and how to get discount tickets:

This is the largest show in the Pacific Northwest and massively huge with tons of stuff for the whole family to see. Come say hi and check out the new t-shirts and brochures and let’s chat about fishing in La Paz this year!

That’s our story!

Turn up the sound! This is some incredible video of what it can be like trying to fish right now. This is normally calm-flat Bahia de Los Muertos. Folks get sometimes upset and disappointed when I try to tell them why this is off-season for fishing.

Robert Hutton hosts another big jack aboard.

Despite the crazy weather, bravo to Robert Hutton who still wanted to go out two days and did remarkably well with big jacks, cabrilla and a few other other species fishing both days with Captain Armando

Cold and Windy Days Mark the Week

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Jan. 22-29, 2017

I guess I could fib a bit and finally say fishing was great and conditions are great, but that wouldn’t be true and definitely not do anyone any good. I’d rather be up-front. It was cold. It was windy. There were waves. Even locals hunkered down a bit.

But, I keep getting asked why, it’s like this and why the fishing reports sound repetitive. It’s like this because IT’S WINTER! It’s ALWAYS like this in winter. It’s windy. It’s cold. That’s why it’s called W-I-N-T-E-R. From December to about March or so, this is how it can be. It’s not like winter in say, Canada or Montana or anywhere like that, but relatively speaking, we think it’s kinda chilly when it’s in the high 60’s in the day and down to 50 at night. That’s kinda chilly for those of us south of the border. To our snowbirds that are in town, that are visiting from Massachusetts or Colorado, it’s wonderful and sunny. It beats being in the snow, right?

However, not so good being on the water.

Anyway, despite the less than stellar conditions, we did have some folks who wanted to brave the elements. I was surprised by how well they did. In addition to bonito, some huge yellowtail jacks (not THE yellowtail), smaller pargo, snapper and even some small dorado, we almost had two marlin baited. All of these were pretty much close to shore since we couldn’t get too far out anyway. But, given the weather situation and the time of year, I’m surprised we’ve got marlin and dorado around. But that’s encouraging.

The weather forecast looks to be improving for the coming week, but normally, this is gonna be like this off-and-on until about March or April.

WHALEWATCHING SEASON ROCKING IT!

Our annual whale watching season is in full swing and we’re making daily trips out to Bahia Magdalena at Lopez Mateos where the whales migrate to and hang out every year from January to March. It’s a great family outing to visit the whales in the shallow warm waters for the bay. Contact me directly for more info and how we can set you up. Jonathan@tailhunter.com

THANKS WASHINGTON – TAILHUNTER TOUR MOVES TO OREGON NOW!

Turn up the volume. A quick video of some of the action at our Tailhunter booth at the Washington State Sportsman’s Show this past week!

20170125_134006_resized

We had another fantastic 5-day show at the Washington State Fairgrounds this past week. Great to see so many old amigos and we’re looking forward to so many coming to see us again in La Paz to come fish. Here’s some quick shots of some of the fun and friends.

We’re now headed to the awesome Pacific Northwest Sportman’s Show. It’ll be at the Portland Expo Center and this is massive. It’s the largest show in the Pacific NW and it’s huge. Incredible things for the whole family. Come visit us and let’s chat about visiting La Paz this year!

Dave Rose and his family have been part of the Tailhunter Tribe for so many years. He and the boys, A.J. and Sean will be visiting us again in August.

Travis Millspaugh and his family visited us for the first time last year. And they’re coming back this October!!!

What a great surprise to have our La Paz friends, Tom and Jeanne Brown suddenly just jump on a plane and show up in Washington to see us!

Jilly shares some special “Tailhunter Brew” with Matt and Darcia Garrett…and that’s how it started…LOL

Karen Egbert just found out her photo from last year with her big roosterfish just showed up on our new tablecloth and our 2017 brochure!

Dan and Lisa Hicks with Sammy…one of our most favorite of families will be visiting us again this September!

That’s our story!

Whale watching season is in full swing at Lopez Mateos in Bahia Magdalena. With each week more and more whales are showing up to spend the winter in the warm shallow waters. Tailhunters can set up a great family trip for you.

Just out front of the La Paz waterfront in the shallow bay waters, baby whalesharks are now here. We’re arranging daily trips to spend a few hours swimming with these gentle animals.

LA PAZ and BAJA REFLECT U.S. CONDITIONS

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of January 15-23, 2017

Not much to tell you on the fishing scene. As you probably know, the western U.S. was smacked around again pretty much all last week with ice, snow, wind and rain. Well, there’s a pretty good rule of thumb. If the U.S. is getting it then Baja is also getting it and vice versa. Weather does not simply “STOP” because there’s an international border.

So, although in La Paz, it obviously wasn’t raining or snowing, it was still cold enough for us to fire up the heaters at our Tailhunter Restaurant and turn on the fire pit on the 2nd level terrace. Additionally, it was also windy most of the week, and while we could go fishing and just wear jackets to ward off a bit of the chill, there’s nothing that will make the wind stop blowing or the ocean from being choppy.

But that’s what’s to be expected during our off-season winter months. For better-or-worse, not many fishermen are out either. Commercial guys that are going out are telling us there’s some breezing tuna around and the occasional dorado, but most of our few anglers that got out, ran into snapper, cabrilla (sea bass) and some smaller cargo as well as bonito and jack crevalle. Good light tackle stuff and for the few folks we have this time of year, often snowbirds just looking for a day in the sun on the water, that’s fun.

As for other activities our whale watching tours are in full-swing now that the grey whales have started arriving in Bahia Magdalena. More and more seem to be arriving weekly and they usually stick around until about mid-March or so.

Also, right in La Paz Bay, we’ve got whalesharks now and we’re also arranging daily “swim with the whale sharks” excursions. The fish are right in the shallow in front of town.

If you’d like any information or have us set up your whale “adventure” e-mail us directly at Jonathan@tailhunter.com

Ashlee Patterson from Massachusetts got out on the water one day and on the flyrod, got this feisty little dorado on light line off Punta Perrico. The fish was released.

MORE WHALES THAN FISHERMEN

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Jan. 8-15, 2017

Honestly, not much going on in terms of fishing. It’s still been windy and there’s just not many fishermen in town this time of year or folks wanting to go fishing either. It’s just that time of year…the lull after the holidays. There’s not even that many folks in town.

We did get out fishing a few days. Surprisingly, given it’s winter and chilly, there’s still some dink dorado around, which are usually warm water fish. Nothing big, but still fun. The rest of the catch focused on bonito, some snapper and cabrilla. Mostly inshore species. The nice days on the water are nice…85 degree sunshine. But, if you mis-time it, the north winds can make it blustery so we always check the weather before we go fishing. If you’re coming down, try to be flexible on your fishing days so we can move you around to the best days to give you a better shot and having a fun day.

On the other hand, whalesharks are back in the bay and starting the year with a great opportunity to swim in the shallow waters of La Paz Bay with these “baby” whalesharks that can reach 20′ in length. If you’re interested, contact us directly via e-mail at: Jonathan@tailhunter.com

GRAY WHALE SEASON STARTS!

Speaking of whales, the grey whales have also returned to Bahia Magdalena on the Pacific side so we’ve officially kicked off our 2017 whale watching season at Lopez Mateos. We’re running daily trips to spend a day or two with the whales in the warm waters there. Again, contact us directly at Jonathan@tailhunter.com. It’s a great family trip! Check out the video above. Thanks to amigo, Jorge Romero for the video! “Touch the mama!”

THANK YOU DENVER! HERE WE COME SACRAMENTO!

Set up our new booth Tuesday night in Denver after a crazy drive through the snow and ice of the rockies the two avalanches that blocked the road.

Me, Jilly and Catlyn in the van. This is how we roll for 3 months like road gypsies!

It was a pretty incredible drive into Denver with ice, snow, road closures, several avalanches blocking the highway and generally nasty conditions…but still, through some of the most beautiful and majestic places you’d ever want to see. Nothing like the Colorado Rockies!

John Rader fished with us for the first time last year. Funny guy!

No matter your political views, it’s a funny shirt.

“Doctor” Art Flippin has fished with us a zillion times and is coming back this year to fish in the fall.

Art and Connie Petz are coming to see us for the first time in La Paz . Fun couple!

Matt Deischel brought us a framed and signed photo of his 38.5 pound barred pargo WORLD RECORD he shot and then weighed at our Tailhunter IGFA scale. Massive fish and Matt is an incredible bluewater hunter. Thanks, Matt. We’re honored!

Charter member of the Tailhunter Family, Jeff Sakuda, visits us at least twice a year. He’s a pilot for United and was on a layover in Denver and he came out to see us. Thanks for the Subway Sandwiches, Jeff!

There's trouble a-foot! Louis Sanchez brings me the traditional "burrito bomb" burrito for me to eat in the van while we're travelling!

There’s trouble a-foot! Louis Sanchez brings me the traditional “burrito bomb” burrito for me to eat in the van while we’re traveling!

Well, we just finished our first show of the “Tailhunter 2017 Road Tour” with a spectacular time at the Denver Convention Center and the International Sportsman’s Expo. In our 16 years there, I think this was the best show we’ve ever had visiting with lots of friends and making new ones and signing up an incredible number of reservations to book spend time with us in La Paz fishing this year! Thanks, Denver for once again taking such good care of us!

Now onto Sacramento and historically one of the biggest shows of the year for us. We’ll be at the SACRAMENTO STATE FAIRGROUNDS from this Thursday to Sunday in our booth! It’s Jan. 19-22nd. Come say hi and let’s talk about fishing in La Paz. Get one of our new t-shirts and 24-page brochures.

Almost 700 vendors will be there with lots to see for the whole family! Check out the video:

Hope to see you this week!

That’s our story!

MOSTLY INSHORE FISH and WIND to START THE YEAR

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Jan. 2-9, 2017

Not much to tell this week. I think the town and visitors were still in “holiday hangover” from Christmas and New Years. Normally, this time of year, the folks who come fishing are walk-in clients off the street. Instead of being anglers who book months in advance who come for a “fishing trip,” these are visitors to town or snowbirds who’d just like a day of fishing.

However, it’s windy this time of year so either we’re up-front and tell them it can be rough and bumpy or the day they want will be so bad, we don’t recommend going out at all. Or, in some cases, they look out at the bay and see all the white-caps they decide to just soak up the 80 degree sun on the beach with a margarita instead. Nothing wrong with that scenario either!

So, just not many folks out fishing.

HERE WE COME DENVER!

We only had about 2 days this past week that were fishable. Inshore is where most of the action was found with cabrilla (sea bass), snapper, barred pargo and jack crevalle. All fun action especially on lighter tackle, but a few of the larger pargo broke off in the rocks even on the heavier gear. Offshore, a few wahoo bit and were lost, but a few of the commercial fishermen landed a couple and also some tuna were hooked. We’ll keep an eye on that. Pretty unusual to see blue-water species like that this time of year!

It’s winter. Thankfully bonito are still providing action despite a difficult week to fish because of winds.

There’s a reason the wind and kite surfers enjoy our area so much during the winter. It’s the winds. Great for them. Not so good for fishing. Still bright and sunny, however. Temps in the 80’s .

FISH TAKE THE WEEK OFF – WINDS DON’T

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 25, 2016 – Jan. 1, 2017

In the gap between the holidays, I think the fish took the week off like most folks, but maybe they were smart. They hunkered down because it was a windy week. For one, not many folks fishing, but for the most part, many of the folks that come in right now are walk-in clients or snow birds enjoying the sunshine and otherwise great weather (minus the wind). So, they’re only looking for a day of fishing out on the water.

That’s the dicey part because I always want to be up-front. I warn them about this being the off-season and how windy it might be. If they are flexible on dates then we look at the wind forecasts to try to get them the least windy day. But, sometimes, they only have that ONE DAY to fish during their vacation and, if they still want to go out, we do our best to get them some fish or find areas where it’s less choppy or rough. All we can do is try. You definitely can’t catch fish if you have no line in the water.

However, generally speaking, especially during the winter, if there’s storm going on in the SE United States like California, Arizona and Nevada, that wind/ rain pattern will affect the weather in Baja. It was a stormy week in the lower U.S. Ergo, it was windy in La Paz!

So…

Well, we did our best. Four days this week, I recommended not even going out to prospective fishermen. They’d be wasting their money.

Two of the other days, despite our best, the winds still were stronger than we would have liked and the fishermen got bounced around and only caught some bonito and cabrilla and snapper. Still OK fishing, but we wish it could have been better. The last day, again only some bonito and cabrilla and some small dorado.

The weather forecast this coming week actually looks good. One of the least windy weeks in awhile is on tap so hopefully, better fishing. But, for the sunbirds, if you’re not out on the water getting blown around, it’s hard to beat 85 degree sunny weather in La Paz right now.

WHALEWATCHING SEASON STARTING

whalewatchcollage300

We are starting out Tailhunter whale watching tours in about 2-3 weeks. From mid-January to March is when the grey whale migration takes place and thousands of whales migrate from the Bering Sea to places like Bahia Magdalena on the Pacific Coast about 3 hours drive from La Paz. We’ll be running day and overnight trips to the bay where the whales spend the winter in the shallow, warm, calm waters. It’s a great once-in-a-life time opportunity to get up close with the whale without having to go out into open waters.

The whales will often come right up to the boats and seem to enjoy the interaction and it’s really a treat to have a baby calf come right up and want to have it’s head scratched! Check with us and we can set you up!

That’s our story! Happy New Year everyone!

Sue and Barry Schneider were able to squeeze in one day of fishing on Christmas Eve and got onto one of these great days when the wind layed down and the fish were biting. They got a great surprise with a couple of dorado, a nice wahoo and even a handful of bonito to round out the action. Some of the fish ended up at Tailhunter Restaurant for dinner to have us cook it up! They were fishing with Captain Victor.

WINDY CHRISTMAS WEEK BUT SOME WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITY

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 18-25, 2016

We had one of those windy wakes that made it tough for fishing with north winds blowing a number of days. That was the bad news. The good news was there weren’t many fishermen this week as most folks either had their minds on the holidays or were one of the visiting snowbirds enjoying some of the sunshine. However, for the small windows that we did have fishing, we were again surprised by the catches.

Again, we’re only fishing with our Tailhunter Las Arenas Fleet from Muertos Bay where the fishing is more protected and closer to shore. In addition to the usual “winter fare” like snapper, pargo and cabrilla as well as bonito…

Well, things are still mixed up I guess because we still hooked wahoo and even some dorado which are generally fish we see when the weather and waters are warm. Dorado were not big but still…10 pounders are fun on light tackle and good eating and surely a surprise. And, no one ever argues with catching a wahoo either. Several were hooked and lost and a few brought to the boot were in the 20-25 pound class. Again, a total bonus on a fishing day when you’re not expecting it.

Que Dios Te Bendiga! (May God bless you!)

From our Tailhunter Family and Crew to Yours! God bless for a safe, happy and peaceful Christmas and excellent 2017!

Just taking a little time to reflect on a special time and how blessed we are during this time of year and always. It’s because of you! Wishing you Feliz Navidad from La Paz. Enjoy your families and the holidays and we’ll see you in the new year!

That’s our story!

Rick and Amy Kasper from Wyoming run a hunting operation and Rick is also an outfitter and TV host on the outdoor channel. He and Amy hit a nice day of action boating 3 nice tuna on squid and losing another plus having their hands full on 8 or 9 bonito. .

That’s a HUGE needlefish. Rick Kasper and Captain Jorge with a monster marciel…gotta be 5′ long!

FULL MOON AND WINDS NO ISSUE AS BLUE WATER SPECIES BITE!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 12-18, 2016

Full moon? Winter? No problem. As if to underscore just what a crazy season it has been, once again some of our best fishing in the last few weeks was this past week. The fact that the winds dropped back a few notches had alot to do with it, but honestly, some surprisingly good fishing for species we don’t normally see during this time of year!

Again, not many fishermen out on the water, but that’s pretty normal as this is off-season. But, those that were out, ran into some minimal winds, flat seas and quality fish.

In addition to the usual inshore species like barred pargo, snapper, and cabrilla, there were also bonito and jacks plus some HUGE needlefish working the waters for the anglers.

However, the biggest surprise were the yellowfin tuna we hit off Punta Perrico and the south side of Cerralvo Island on the high spot. These fish were nice quality 15-30 pound fish. Plus the wahoo are still hanging out and willing to chase deep diver, Rapalas, Magnum Yo-Zuri and Mega Bait lures. Some of the fish ran 30 pounds or so. These blue-water pelagic fish are a nice bonus this time of year.

Winds coming back up again a bit this week. We’ll keep you posted.

WHALEWATCHING SEASON COMING UP!
