FISH RESPOND TO BETTER WEATHER
La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay/ Magdalena Bay Fishing Report for Week of April 15-22, 2018
MEXICAN MINUTE FISHING REPORT
WEEK at a GLANCE
Weather – Much more stable and winds backed off. But, this coming week, we could have some winds back again.
Water – Warming. Surface temps in the mid-70’s now.
Fishing – Always responds to less wind. Week started slow, but as the week went on, fishing got better with both inshore and a smattering of offshore species as well.
Catching – Lost more fish than we should have! Especially, the larger fish and those in the rocks. But, that’s why they are big fish!
THE BIG PICTURE REPORT

You just never know! Dragging a small Rapala over the rocks for cabrilla and pargo a huge dog-tooth ripped Gama Flores from Palm Desert CA and he managed to keep it out’ve the reef! Gama comes down with buddy Ray Salanga from Carson CA one or two times a year to fish with us.

Enjoying the sunshine and a bit of fishing too! Happy Steve and Becca Freimark from Edmonds WA show off some nice snapper and bonito.
Sorry I didn’t have more photos this week! Folks either didn’t take any…forgot their cameras or cell phones…or didn’t want their photos taken!
Anyway…
The winds dropped off and gave us a bit of a break this past week after several weeks of strong breezes. The abatement of wind produced a decent mix of fish that ran the gamut from inshore species to bluewater breezers. Not a lot of any one type of fish, but the mix is pretty typical of this time of year when cooler water species like yellowtail, sierra and amberjack are moving out, but lingering. Warmer water species like dorado and wahoo, may have never left from last year, but are getting more active and following the warmer currents and food sources.
BAHIA MAGDALENA REPORT

A couple of pargo headed to the grill that I got out’ve a deep hole that was right up against the bank and holding fish. We lost larger fish to all the roots and structure down there.

Yay…not huge, but my first snook (robalo). Can’t wait to try it on the table. Supposed to be excellent!

The box is getting full . And we lost quite a few fish and released alot of fish too! The majority of the fish was donated.
Jill and I with Jorge Romero ran our own personal exporatory trip out to Bahia Magdalena (Mag Bay) this past week and what a trip we had. Three hours from La Paz, Mag Bay boats a length of over 50 miles and hundreds of miles of shoreline that encompasses countless lagoons, estuaries, mangroves, sand dunes, sand bars and islands.
And best of all…almost no one there. It’s remote. It’s rustic. It’s the boonies. This is not Club Med land. There’s no swimming pools or health spas. There’s no craft beer or fancy restaurants. It’s dusty and largely unspoiled. It’s not for tourists.
Little fishing pueblos are spotted here and there. Hard-working blue-collar fishermen and their families. All making a living in one way-shape or form from the sea…for generations.
And, it’s an incredible area and an unbelievable ecosystem. Birdlife…wildlife…lobster…shrimp…clams…oysters…and so many varieties of fish!
I lost count, but I believe we caught about 17 different varieties of fish that included snook, several species of pargo, seabass, corvina, croaker, and more. They told me fishing was “slow” because of the strong currents, but it was the best inshore, light tackle fishing I have ever had in Baja! And this is just the inshore stuff.
I’ve fished offshore and there’s bountiful grounds for wahoo, tuna, dorado, marlin, yellowtail and grouper. That will be on our next trip. If you’re interested, get in touch with us! We’ll set up the transportation, hotel, meals and fishing!
That’s our story!
