STILL A FEW YELLOWTAIL BUT ROOSTERS BEND RODS!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of April 27-May 4, 2025

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER – To be honest, there were some really windy and chilly mornings and evenings. All of us had jackets on and we had to move some of the fishing from La Paz to Las Arenas because it was too windy and rough. But daytime temps are in the low to mid-80’s. Overall very pleasant…except for the windy times.

WATER – If the wind is blowing, it’s whitecap time and plan on getting wet. Fortunately, we can move folks to other areas to fish and the windy days are fewer and far between. When the wind is not blowing, it’s like a postcar!

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK – Roosterfiish, dorado, yellowtail, marlin, barred pargo, yellow snapper, pompano, trevally, bonito, jack crevalle, cabrilla, golden grouper, dog-tooth snapper, triggerfish, sierra, amberjack

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Ray Millman is all smiles! An incredible day catching and releasing TEN roosterfish in a single day! That was a first for us in 30 years!

The Ewing boys…Zach, Clay and dad Don were the pargo kings of the week. Check out the 2 big barred pargo and the pargo rojo (dog tooth snapper) on the table at Bahia Muertos! The day before, they filled the box with pargo while fishing out’ve La Paz with our Tailhunter La Paz fleet.

Our good amigo, Terry Hawk from Danville CA has been coming for about 20 years and started his trip off with 4 catch-and-release roosters and followed that up on the 2nd day as well!

The right kind! Our Oregon amigos, Leonard Post and Dave Lindell show off a double hook-up on quality dorado!

Yup! Marlin started to show this week! Sergio took this one on light tackle with Captain Pancho. They were not able to release it.

First time and only one day to fish, Bob has a big grin on his face admitting he needed help with this dorado, but it ended up in the box with about 5 other species like cabrilla and pargo which we cooked up at our Tailhunter Restaurant!

Mark Bacon back with us for a 2nd year poses with one of several roosters he caught and released.

Captain Licho looks on as Christine Fairbank shows off a Baja Grouper…also called a Golden Grouper. We don’t see many of these. Basically a brightly colored cabrilla. Very tasty! Christine visited us all the way from Boston.

Just when I think the yellowtail have left us, Leonard and Dave show up with these two nice forkies taken near Punta Coyote north of La Paz. Two others broke off in the rocks!

That time of year…tasty pompano are running near the beach drop-offs! Ray caught this one on a live sardine.

___________________________________

It’s “transition” time!

It’s not really winter. It’s not really spring. It definitely isn’t summer.

So, the sun is out and a nice warm 80-85, but without the summer humidity. But, the mornings can be chilly or even downright cold. And there are some windy days too that kick up waves and whitecaps and cause us to change our daily gameplans or where and how to fish!

This is pretty typical for this time of year. Kinda gotta be ready for anything.

And that’s the way the fishing is right now too. We have holdover cooler water fish mixed with incoming warm water species. So, you honestly don’t know what’s gonna bite! There’s alot of varety. Each day can be different. Each spot can be different. Boats fishing right next to each other might catch different species!

You might not get alot of any one species, but you could easily come back with a handful of a number of different species! Makes it kinda fun.

To give you an example, I’ve been saying that with the warmer temps, the yellowtail have moved off and away or down to colder waters. We have seen very few of them lately or at all.

Then, all of a sudden, we get a number of biters. Nice grade yellowtail with about half of them busting off in the rocks! But, legit yellows!

Dave and Captain Boli

In the same areas we might hit dorado which are warm water species. This is really the first week when we hit some dorado. Not alot. Nothing to crow too much about, but it’s a good indicator that things are percolating. The ones that were caught were nice sized 10-25 pounders. Give it a few more weeks and a couple more upticks in water temperatures!

I can say the same for the billfish. We boated (and released our first this week) and 4 others were lost so the billfish are waking up.

The biggest news is the roosterfish! I’m gonna say they are officially here. Not seeing the giants yet, but 10-30 pound fun fish with our Tailhunter Las Arenas fleet are a hoot. Some guys telling me there were roosters crashing everywhere and cathing and releasing multiple fish! Again, just give it a few weeks and hopefully the bigger models will also show up!

According to our anglers, there were spots where the roosterfish were literally boiling and there was one day when our boats caught and released 6 to over a dozen roosters each. That’s crazy good fun!

Sergio and Lucas

Like I said, there’s alot of variety and the ocean is just waking up for the season! Inshore species like cabrilla, dog-tooth snapper, barred pargo and mullet snapper (pargo liso) as well as bonito, jack crevalle and tasty pompano and trevally.

All in all, everyone caught fish. Not all boats did great everyday, but most folks fish several days and everyday is different. Just like the weather and conditions!

That’s my story!

CONDITIONS MUCH IMPROVED BUT…

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Mar. 24-31, 2025

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: Mostly pretty nice and sunny. Daytime temps in the mid-80’s. Nights in the 60’s and comfortable.

WATER: Still mostly cool, but at least it’s getting clearer and bluer

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: Yellowtail, pargo, milkfish, cabrilla, sierra, triggerfish, small roosterfish, bonito

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Using a live sardine, Pancho got Jesus in this slugger yellowtail!

Happy girl! Marline Casillas and Captain Arcangel went all the way to the north end of Cerralvo Island. Fishing was sketchy, but this big yellowtail topped the day.

The pargo liso have started moving into the shallows to spawn. Really tough powerful fish to pull out’ve the rocky areas, but Paco stuck this one nicely!

Really really rare milkfish! I’ve only seen a handful in only 3 decades in La Paz. You see the schools quite often and they are frustrating because you get all excited, but these tasty fish don’t eat bait. They are herbivores! All the most surprising that Gerardo caught this on a live sardine!

__________________________________

Things are getting better.

Things have gotten better. Warmer days. Less wind. Better water.

But, I’m not quite celebrating just yet. Although we’re technically in springtime, I don’t think we’re completely in the clear. I think we’re still going to get some windy days. The fishing is better, but it’s still not full speed.

So, although I’m excited, I’m still pumping the brakes just a bit.

Yes, yellowtail are biting. It’s a good bite. There’s some good fish. Running 15-30 pounds. Some days can be pretty spectacular. But, it’s not all the time or everywhere.

Some days the fish don’t bite. Some days, the fish have moved. Some days, they eat sardines. Sometimes, they want mackerel. Other times like all fish, they want jigs or trolled lures. But.yes, I would say the yellowtail season is on.

Best spots are high rocky areas or the mounts around Cerralvo and Espirito Santo Islands. North and East sides of Espirito Santo and the north and south end of Cerralvo Island have been the most productive.

Not seeing much in the way of surface fish like dorado right now because most folks are chasing the yellowtail or inshore, the pargo liso have shown up the spawn. These tough fish are some of the most difficult sluggers in our waters, but can be incredibly tantalizing to see these huge schools of red and copper-colored fish boiling on the surface. Especially, when these look like giant red 10-30 pound carp. With very sharp teeth too!

Other species like sierra, amberjack, smaller roosterfish, cabrilla and snapper pretty much rounded out the catch this week the usual bonito, jack crevalle and triggerfish.

That’s my story!

BETTER CONDITIONS AS SPRING APPROACHES

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Mar. 4-14, 2025

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WEATHER: Still most days are windy blowing 10-20 knots, but the calmer days are getting nicer and mostly sunny with temps up to the low 80’s now, but still chilly in the nights and mornings down into the 50’s.

WATER: Still cloudier and cooler than we would like but typical this time of year, but warming as the temps improve overall.

SPECIES HOOKED THIS WEEK: Yellowtail, amberjack, sierra, pargo, snapper, cabrilla, dorado, triggerfish, bonito, jack crevalle, small roosterfish

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Jacques Garon from Canada had just one day to fish and found some sunshine and a great little bit of action on siera, dorado, cabrilla and triggerfish fishing out’ve Bahia Muertos!

Dorado right up against the rocks near Punta Perrico. Warmer waters are starting to bring in the dorado. Nice fish for Jacques!

_____________________________

Overall, things are starting to look up after a long windy winter!

We’re not out’ve it yet, but you can feel things are starting to come around. Sometimes you never know. About this time it normally starts to feel like spring, but last year it seemed to stay chilly and cold well into the summer months.

However, this looks like a more normal year. The windy days are less windy although there are days when it’s still blowing 10-20 knots. But those days are fewer and there are more fishable days and those days seem more pleasant as well with flatter warmer seas and pretty decent action.

The fish are there! They’ve been there all off-season. The issue is whether the winds and rough seas would let us get to them. Still not that many folks even interested in fishing that are visiting town, but, reservations are rolling in and lots of folks are ready to get going.

The variety of fish is pretty good. We call this transitional time because we have both warm and cold water fish in the area which means there’s alot of variety that could be. caught this time of year.

Around Espirito Santo Island and Cerralvo, the yellowtail are running 15-25 pound on average and are eating live mackerel and sardines as well as trolled and cast jigs like yo-yo and knife jigs.

In the warmer waters, more dorado are starting to show here and there and commercial fishermen tell me there’s some jags of tuna moving in some areas.

Inshore, there’s great variety with sierra, jack crevalle, smaller roosterfish, amberjack, rainbow runners, pargo, cabrilla snapper and bonito.

Daytime temps are mostly sunny and in the lower to mid-80’s now, but nighttime temps and morning temps still warrant a sweatshirt dropping down to the mid-50’s.

Lots of reservations coming in and dates are filling so don’t wait. We don’t want to miss you! Write me directly: tailhunterfishinglapaz@gmail.com

La Paz-Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report from Tailhunter Sportfishing for Jan. 28-Feb. 8, 2025

WINTER CONDITIONS CONTINUE

La Paz- Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Jan. 28-Feb. 2, 2025

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WATER: Because of the winds, generally rough and cold and murky

WEATHER: Mostly sunny with daytime temps in the high 70’s to low 80’s. Nightime cool down to the mid-50’s. Winds from the north mostly up to 25+mph.

FISH HOOKED THIS PERIOD: Cabrilla, snapper, bonito, pargo, amberjack, sierra, tuna (lost).

MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE REST OF THE STORY…

To be perfectly honest, not much has been happening.

We haven’t been able to put anyone in the water in almost 3 weeks. Just being real. As I often re-iterate, this is off-season from November to April. Not many folks on the water at all.

We did have a few requests and reservations for fishing and snorkeling, but in each case, we had to suggest not going out because it was going to be too rough or cancel the trip. Just the way it is, this time of year and I make sure I advise and warn folks ahead of time.

The few reports I get are from local friends who have the luxury of picking and choosing the better times and days or windows when the winds aren’t blowing so hard and they can squeeze in a day or even just a few hours.

Or, we get reports from some of our friends who are commercial fishermen who need to go out even if it’s rough in order to feed their famlies and make a living.

What they’re saying is that most of the fishing is confined to inshore over the rocks and reefs and where the water is somewhat calmer. Catches produce the usual species like cabrilla, snapper, sierra, pargo, jack crevalle and bonito. Occasionally, a dorado gets hooked.

Live bait has been an issue.

One of our good friends did get out to the north end of Cerralvo Island and found himself on top of a school of big freight train tuna breezing through. His bait got hammered and he found himself battling a beast for over 2 hours before the fish unfortunately broke off! He’s a good fisherman so I have no doubt he was on a big boy slugger tuna!

This coming week, we actually have some days when the winds are somewhat diminished. Much quieter than it has been so maybe we’ll get a boat or two out! We’ll let you know!

WHALESHARK SWIMS CLOSED AGAIN

Just a heads-up.

Normally, the whaleshark season in La Paz Bay runs October to April. However, over the past few years, fewer and fewer of the animals have been showing up. Coupled with rough turbulent water conditions in the bay, the “season” has gone through a series of “open-closed-open-closed” etc. If it’s too rough, there’s no way to find the animals in the shallow waters of La Paz Bay

There was never any way to tell when or if the season would be open. You really just had to take your chances.

This year, the season was open for a few weeks but now it looks like the season has been closed indefinitely for the rest of the year.

Folks forget these are wild, albeit gentle animals. It’s not like the zoo where you can guarantee that from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. there will be 10 gorillas in the pens. The whalesharks come and go. We might get 5 or 12 or 0. Even if they show up, they could stay all day or be gone in 20 minutes.

We’ll keep you posted.

TAILHUNTER STILL ON THE ROAD TO SEE YOU!

Jill and I are headed to our 3rd show of the season! After two super shows in Reno, then Nashville, we are now headed to Salt Lake City for the Western Hunt and Conservation Expo.

This will be at the Salt Palace Convention Center right downtown in Salt Lake City and promises to possibly be the largest show of our tour season. Last year, some 60,000 folks attended over 4 days and there were exhibitors from over 40 countries showcasing fishing, hunting, camping, boating, outdoor adventures, tours and all kinds of gear!

Here’s a link for more info:

The show takes place Feb. 13-16 (Thursday to Sunday) and Jill and I will be in the booth everyday! We’d love to see you to say hi and talk about coming to visit us this year in La Paz. Spots are filling up fast!

Hope to see you!

MORE WINDY AND COLD…BUT WAIT!

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Jan. 8-16, 2025

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: Reflecting crazy weather in the U.S. La Paz/ Baja weather was erratic. Definitely cooler with more winds. Port captain had to shut down boat traffic a few times because it was too rough.

WATER: When the winds weren’t blowing, there were some real nice water conditions with flat blue seas. When, it was blowing, best to stay off the water unless you had a kiteboard.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: Bonito, jack crevalle, dorado, pargo, cabrilla, sierra, sailfish.

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT:

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Staying at his dad’s place at Bahia Muertos, Miles Wagner has a double fist of some great looking winter dorado.

Happy Bob Steward from Colorado with a colorful mahi.

Some great fishing right now for tough bonito like this one caught by amigo, Gary Wagner, owner of Rancho Costa at Bahia Muertos.

Miles with a tasty sierra!

Not too many ways around it.

It was typical of this time of year. It was a cold and windy week. In fact, the port captain had to step in and shut down the port from all boat traffic a few days because it was too rough. Folks often come down this time of year and don’t understand that if there are storms and weather events north of the border, then it will surely affect things south of the border as well. That’s often how it is in the winter in La Paz and much of Baja.

So, it’s important to pick and choose fishing days when the weather is less erratic. There aren’t many of those, but in between bouts of wind, there’s some decent action to be had.

Small schools of dorado between 5 and 15 pounds…some larger…can still be caught if you find the blue warmer water. They’ll hit live bait as well as trolled lures and feathers. Live bait can be an issue if the bait guys can’t get to the bait spots to catch bait because of the rough waters.

Surprisingly, even some billfish around! Check out this little video (Thanks, Gary) of Bob Steward from Colorado who had a sailfish on the line for a bit. Check out the calm water too! Turn up the sound.

There’s also a good bite on bonito. Maybe not so great to eat, but they’ll pull alot of folks out’ve their socks!

As well, along the rocks and reefs there’s good action on a variety of species like snapper, jack crevalle, pargo, sierra, yellowtail (small ones), amberjack and along the beaches, even some small 5-pound sized roosterfish.

Wind looks like it’s back this coming week again. Just need to pick your spots carefully!

STARTING THE NEW YEAR

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 31-Jan. 7, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WATER: Waters getting colder and greener. Still some blue warmer water around with some holdover warm water species like dorado. Overall choppy ocean.

WEATHER: Definitely got colder this past week. Also some very windy days that we had to pull boats off the water or advise folks not to fish or go snorkeling. Still sunny, but it felt more like winter finally.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: Dorado/ wahoo/ bonito/ jack crevalle/ bonito/ amberjack/ sierra/cabrilla

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Normally, Rich Collard is up in Michigan commercial fishing, but came down for a few days and knocked it out with a wahoo fishing with Captain Gerardo!

Just one day to fish, but Scott and Gerilynn Lehman got 3 nice dorado and had us prepare some of it at our Tailhunter Restaurant. Very unusual to find dorado in the winter!

Greg Earles striking one of his favorite fishing poses with another dorado for the box. Greg spent 3 weeks during his birthday with us and fished several times a week. He took him over 100 pounds of fillets to Michigan. Great guy to have visit!

Waters are getting cooler and more sierra showing up. Rich got this one on the troll. They are incredibly tasty for the table!

Rich and Greg had a nice day with Captain Gerardo!

We got through the first week of the new year and to cut to the chase…it got colder and a bit windier!

In fact, as you’re reading this, La Paz and a good portion of the Baja is going to get his with a jag of really cold weather (cold for Baja!) with temps down into the 50’s at night and never really getting much above the low 70’s and even a possibility of a bit of rain this week.

For sure, folks are keeping their jackets and sweatshirts handy.

Had to keep boats in a few days because of winter winds and the cold which are pretty typical this time of year, but we did get in 2 days of fishing for a scattered bite.

With waters getting colder, we’re seeing more sierra, amberjack, rainbow runners and jack crevalle as well as pargo, cabrilla and snapper for inshore fishing. Often, with winds blowing, that’s about as far as you’ll get from the beach because it’s too rough.

However there are still some patches of blue water holding dorado and over by the south end of Cerralvo, there’s a bite of wahoo that’s on-and-off. The biggest problem is being able to get across the channel from Bahia Muertos to the south end of the island. If the winds are blowing from the north and the chop is blasting, there’s just no way.

The winds and waves also make it problematic to procure live bait at times so we’ll have to troll. If the waves are pounding some of the beaches and rocky area, the guys can’t get into the shallows to throw the nets for live bait.

Now that the holidays are passed, town is getting quieter again. A nice time to be in town actually, but not always a good time to be on the water!

WE’RE ON THE ROAD!

Jilly and I are hitting the road for our annual road show. This will be our 30th year and our first show is:

RENO WILD SHEEP FOUNDATION

Reno Convention Center

Reno, Nevada

Jan. 16-18th

We’ll be in our booth ever day and it would be great to see you and talk about getting you to visit us in La Paz!

WINDIEST PATCH SO FAR AND MORE

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Nov. 21-Dec. 4, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WATER: Still some warm patches of blue and somewhat warm with surface temps about 75 degrees, but the ocean is cooling and getting greener as the winds come up and the deeper we get into winter.

WEATHER: Mostly pleasantly sunny. Daytime temps in the high 70’s to low 80’s. Cooler at night dropping to the low 60’s.

FISH HOOKED: Dorado, pompano, trevally, small roosters, marlin, tuna, wahoo, pargo, cabrilla, snapper, sierra, amberjack, bonito, jack crevalle

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

The fishing report is a bit tardy once again.

I was hoping for a break in the weather and hopefully something with a little more content to tell you about instead of the same broken record. So, I kept waiting!

Honestly, in the last two weeks we’ve only been able to put out one boat but have had to cancel several other trips as well as turn away some snorkel and scuba reservation requests.

I get reservation requests daily, but I like to be honest and transparent about expectations and frankly, the northern winds are getting more prevalent. It’s harder and harder to find a gap in the weather where I can tell folks they might have a shot at getting on the water. Especially these days. Many of the folks in town are not hard-core anglers. Many or on vacations and are just looking for a day to try some fishing. Often, they are families and often with youngsters in tow.

It’s not fun if I send them out and they get soaked and bounced around and get seasick and maybe even get canceled or blown out. It’s supposed to be fun. So, I turn alot of folks away and tell them it’s best to just stay on the beach.

It’s a nice time to be in town. It’s mostly sunny and in the high 70’s to low 80’s. in the day time. Definitely alot more pleasant than say Canada or North Dakota. Evenings drop down into the cooler high-60s.

But looking at the wind forecast for example, the next 10 days show’s northern winds blowing up to 18 knots per hour. That’s a big reasons all the windsurfers are often the only ones on the water.

The fishing reports I have are from the handful of guys I got out about a week ago for one day, but also from friends in town who have the luxury of knowing when the winds lay back for a bit. It also comes from friends who are commercial fishermen who don’t have the luxury of choosing their times so they have to go out to feed their families and make a living.

What I”m hearing and seeing is that there’s some good variety on the water if you can find the right weather-spot.

There are still warm patches of water holding some dorado, marlin and even the occasional tuna or wahoo. The dorado are the school-sized 5-10 pounders mostly.

However the waters are cooling and continue so as the winds get stronger the deeper we get into the winter. Hence, we also seeing species like amberjack, trevally, pompano, pargo, cabrilla, snapper, bonito and jack crevalle. I hear there have been some jags of yellowtail at the north end of Cerralvo Island as well as the east and north sides of Espirito Santo Island.

There’s some small roosters and jacks along the beaches.

Live bait becomes and issue as it’s harder for the commercial bait-sellers to find live bait to sell if the waters are too rough so that means sportfishing can become more lure-based fishing.

RESERVATIONS FOR 2025

They’re coming in daily and a number of dates between May and October (prime time) are already sold out or filling pretty fast. We don’t want to miss you especially if you have a favorite captains or hotel or are chasing that bucket list fish! Don’t wait. Check your calendar and get in touch with us as soon as you can!

That’s my story! Hope ya’ll had a great Thanksgiving week and your holidays are off to a good start!

SOME FISHABLE DAYS BETWEEN WINDS BUT NOT MANY FOLKS IN TOWN

La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Nov. 4-20, 2025

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WATERS: Still some warm patches with surface temps in the 80 degree area, but overall, waters are starting to cool off. Less blue. More cloudy green.

WEATHER: Really pleasant. Nice time to be in town. Low 80’s in the day. High 60′ to low 70’s at night. The bigger issue is the winds. Some days blowing up to 15 knots or more. Need to pick and choose which days to be in the office.

FISHING BEING HOOKED: Inshore species like pargo, cabrilla, snapper, sierra, jack crevalle as well as pompano and trevally. A few dorado in the warmer spots. Commercial fishermen findinga few scattered tuna and wahoo and the occasional holdover billfish.

MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST OF THE STORY…

Richard de Coudres brought his son and friend out for one day to squeeze in some fishing getting several nice dorado, a palometa and a couple of bonito released.

Winter catch for one of the commercial pangeros of some tasty cabrilla and sierra and bonito.

______________________________________________

First and foremost, Jill and I and all our Tailhunter Team wish you and yours a safe, happy and peaceful Thanksgiving week and holidays! Blessings for all the holidays!

Once again, apologies for taking such a long gap between fishing reports this past month. Still recovering from surgery. Nothing serious although I’m going to be off my feet for another 2 months and I have to keep my leg elevated. It’s been hard to sit at a desk and I hate being housebound and not even being able to drive (it’s my right foot!).

On top of it, well…just not alot happening right now to be honest.

This is that gap between the summer and the holidays. Just not that many folks in town and the town itself seems to be quieter and getting ready for the holidays. Things will start to fill up more in the next week, but if you want to avoid crowds, this has been a nice time to be in La Paz. Not too hot. Not too cold.

Except for the fishing and other watersports, it’s one of my favorite times to be in town.

The winter winds have started. Not yet in full force, but about half the days of the week the northerns are blowing. At their strongest, they’re gusting maybe 10-18 knots and hour. Enough to make white caps and make it uncomfortable if not outright undesireable to be on the water unless you’re one of the myriad of windsurfers migrating to the area from all over the world in anticipation of the winds that will only get stronger the deeper we get into the winter.

However, if you get between the winds, there are some really nice days to be had. Water in some spots is still surprisingly warm with surface temps hovering close to 80 degrees. That warmer water is still holding some dorado and the occasional other warm water species like wahoo, tuna and billfish.

Most of the reports I’m getting are from local friends who can pick and choose which days to fish or from my captains who are out commercial fishing or out with their friends or family. There aren’t really any clients fishing during this time of year. So, it’s hard to really get a firm indication of what’s going on unlike the regular season when I have 20 or 30 fishermen out each day and boats scattered all over the area.

As the winds have increased, some of the waters are cooling and getting cloudier and that will only continue as we get deeper into winter. To that end, the inshore species in the colder waters have included snapper, cabrilla, sierra, pargo and similar fish. Live bait will be harder to get as well.

DATES FILLING for 2025 FISHING

Reservations for next year are coming in daily!

In 2024 was a great year for yellowtail, billfish and roosters, and I think 2025 the dorado will come busting back.

Many dates are filling for 2025 or getting close to it. We’d hate to miss you. Parts of May, June and August are already blocked.

Alaska Airlines will be flying direct to La Paz from LAX three-times a week so for the first time in over a decade there will be direct flights from the U.S. to La Paz. We are also offering 2024 prices for 2024 if booked before the end of the year and some free nights depending on the hotel and time of the season.

Don’t wait! Many of you have your favorite hotel or favorite captain.

That’s our story! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

WAHOO BILLFISH MAHI!

La Paz -Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Oct. 11-18, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: Mostly pretty comfortable. You can tell the weather is changing. Getting cooler in the mornings and evenings. Almost time for a sweatshirt! Low 70’s to start the day and low 90’s in the day. Very pleasant. Starting to get breezier and the north winds start up this week which will change things completely once they start blowing consistently.

WATER: Mostly pretty and blue. Perfect for fishing. Getting 81 degrees on the surface, but colder water down deeper as evidenced by some of the fish we are hooking. Have had a few bouncy days from the winds. Gonna get rougher if the winter winds start to kick in.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: Dorado, tuna, wahoo, sailfish, blue marlin, striped marlin, amberjack, yellowtail, sierra, bonito, jack crevalle, roosterfish, trevally, pompano, cabrilla, pargo, triggerfish

FISHING ON A SCALE of 1-10: 7

THE MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Not one…FOUR! Brian Spicer had himself quite a day with Captain Victor taking four big wahoo off Cerralvo Island plus he also released a striped marlin. He donated or gifted the majority of the meat!

Randy Haire and Dennis Fujii with a nice rack or dorado to bring home!

Long-time amigo, Tim Butterworth always nails something great each time he visits us. He brought son-in-law Dave Spriggs this year and their last day, Tom got another wahoo with Captain Pancho.

Caroline Cain and family friend Kayla Lespade from Idaho had themselves a banner day with a number of big dorado like this fishing outside of La Paz Bay.

Great photo of a great day. Chris and Mari Bedsaul with Captain Gerardo.

Ken Takata and Steve Hirano fished 3 good days like this with dorado, pargo and snapper and Captain Gerardo doing the photobomb in the back.

This is what Santa does in the off-season! Actually, good amigo Rusty Cain…always good to have him visiting!

Our Tailhunter office managers, Maite Palacio and Arturo Becerrril got out on the water away from work and had fun on the dorado spot!

Mike Clark with Captain Pancho decked this beautiful blue marlin outside of Bahia Muertos. Mike had quite a battle as they passed the rod back and forth. The fish could not be revived and Mike donated much of the meat.

Chris Bedsaul and Captain Gerardo with the thumbs-up!

Such a great photo of a sweet amiga of Tailhunter. Mari Bedsaul always does well when she visits us. Beautiful colors! They actually lost two marlin and a sailfish this day!

Mike Clark poses with two of his four mahi on the day.

Anniversary trip for Don Jossie who was visiting us for the first time and had two days fishing with Captain Rogelio.

Many of you have known Benny Salgado for years working for Tailhunter as a cook, with me in the fish packing room and also our ace guitar player . We sent him out for the day to catch some dorado…good job!

The man behind the mask is Arturo Becerril…Tailhunter’s very own. He had fun with dorado like this one!

Good to have Steve Partridge and his wife fish with us for a few days. First day with Captain Armando out’ve Las Arenas was very productive! They’re from Redondo Beach CA.

Catch and release striper for Brian Spicer with Captain Victor! It was a good week for the billfish. Most broke off or were released.

Almost as big as her! Maite with one of her large dorado on the day! Her biggest!

Don Hugo poses with some of his catch of mahi at Bahia de los Muertos.

Brian…one more wahoo on the gaff!

_________________________________________

You can feel it in the air.

The seasons are changing. Daytime temps are getting cooler and breezier. The shadows are longer. The night times are pleasant and not a bad idea to have a light sweatshirt handy. Waters are getting just a bit bumpier when the breeze blows.

We usually say late October to April is our off-season. It starts getting windier and colder and once the north winds start blowing consistently, the fishing complexion changes completely.Not only is it rougher, but colder water fish move in as the ocean cools down.

Some days, it will be too rough to fish or you’ll get blown off the water. So, really not many folks will be fishing the next few months. But, this is why all the windsurfers and kiteboarders descend on us from all over the world to take advantage of our world-class winds in the La Paz area.

That’s generally speaking…

Sometimes, the winds don’t show up until later. And warm water fishing continues.

But, this year, just like clockwork, I can see in the forecast that next week strong northern winds start kicking up! Some gusts will be 12-20 knots.

We don’t stop fishing, but not many reservations now on the books. We’re usually running 10-20 boats per day from late March until October. For the next few months, there will be almost no one. And, if someone wants to fish, I make sure they know about the weather situation so they can make an informed decision. Many of the fisherfolks that I do get in the coming months are regulars who know what to expect. Or, they keep their schedules flexible so I can tell them which days will be worse than others so they can find the best day.

But, if this is our last “official” week of the season, we sure went out like gangbusters!

Dorado remained a solid mainstay of the catch.

It would be a crazy day if you didn’t come back with dorado in the box. Our boats have been taking 4-8 dorado on the average and many tell me they lost fish or released a whole bunch. Most fish have been in the 10-15 pound class but some of the larger bulls have hit the 20-40 pound size.

Ever day is different. Some days it’s an early bite. Some days it’s a later bite. Some days, you pick up one fish here…then 2 fish there…then nothing for a bit…then another fish…etc etc. End of the day you’ve got some decent fish in the box.

Biggest surprise…the wahoo!!!

I can’t remember when we’ve had a run of wahoo like this in my 30 years down here. Our boats were hitting 1,2, 3, 4 and 5 wahoo on the day fro 20-60 pounders. More getting lost or busting off. It was crazy. An early morning bite for the most part and 90% taken trolling Marauders, Rapalas and Nomads.

Anglers come down and fish for years trying to get just one of these incredible fish. And yet we had a few days when they suddenly just turned on like a light switch. The best spots were the north and south ends of Cerralvo Island.

As well, the billfish didn’t want to get left out either. After several weeks of non-existent biters, we had a number of billfish including sailfish, striped marlin and even the highly prized blue marlin. Most fish were lost and most that were caught were released whenever possible. But a real bonus catch!

With the weather changing, we’re seeing a few more colder water fishing starting to show up in the catches: sierra, amberjack, pompano, trevally and small yellowtail.

There’s still some smaller roosterfish still hanging out as well!

________

ON A PERSONAL NOTE:

A big shout out and thank you to our Tailhunter Nation for a great 30th season. Whether you were able to visit us this year or not, Jilly and I appreciate all the love, support and friendship for all these years, but especially this year which has been especially challenging. The prayers have been the best!

As many of you know, Jilly has been dealing with some serious medical issues and has not been able to be down here in La Paz for most of the year. She’s been the ultimate trooper back in Texas dealing with the situation, while I’ve been here in La Paz alone trying to keep the Tailhunter Fleets, Restaurant and Transportation companies running and everyone smiling.

Even down here alone, Jilly has kept things rolling from up there so that I could keep things running as smoothly as possible down here. She is still my best teammate.

So, I’ve pretty much been going 7 days a week since April. I’m finally heading north to be able to see and spend time with my Jilly so we can figure some things out. I have a few medical issues of my own to iron out! (Nothing serious…just 30 years of wear-and-tear down here!).

I’ve done the fishing reports pretty religiously every week for over 28 years. But, given we’re about at the end of the season, I’m going to take a few weeks off. So, if you don’t see a report in a week, I just wanted you to know the reason. I’m fine! We’re fine.

It’s just that when my reports are late, I start getting e-mails from so many thoughtful folks!

Just wishing ya’ll grateful blessings always! Thanks for all the smiles and prayers!

That’s our story!

Jonathan and Jilly

DORADO KEEPS RODS BENT!

La Paz- Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay/ Suenos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Oct. 2-9, 2024

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WATER: Mostly nice and blue the way we like it with surface temps still in the low to mid-80’s. However, judging from some of the species we are hooking some cooler water starting to move in down deeper and along some of the coastal areas.

WEATHER: Warm and sunny. Highs in the mid 90’s in the day time. Can be a tad breezy in the mornings, but overall, nothing to complain about. Evenings are comfortable. I would still keep a light windbreaker handy.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: Dorado, tuna, wahoo, sailfish, marlin, sierra, jack crevalle, bonito, snapper, cabrilla, snapper, amberjack, rainbow runner, pompano, trevally, roosterfish

FISHING SCALE 1-10: Solid 7

MEXICAN MINUTE VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Ray Millman from Palos Verdes CA (middle) was on his 2nd trip of 2024 with us and brought his friend, Marc Bacon, with him this time. Captain Hugo found them a nice spot of bigger golden schoolie.

Captain Armando is a big favorite every year with Fernando and Nina Delmendo. Some nice mahi meat there on the table!

Stan Andre from San Francisco has been visiting us for years. He got onto this fatty yellowfin near Punta Pescadero on an early bite!

Love having first timers with us. Nick and Katelyn Hill from Utah had a couple of days on the water with us and took home a nice batch of dorado.

More great first timers! Aly Serafin and Shawn Mahan from Wyoming got to enjoy 2 days of fishing and some sunshine. They did pretty well on the fishing! Fun folks!

Biggest gold of the week? Wiley Randolph was with Capt. Jorge when he put the wood to this big bull! His personal best and always good to have Wiley down here!

Every year, Craig Brown and cousin, Bob Layko come down from Washington/Oregon and fish with Capt. Armando. Bob battled this 80 pound tuna on 40 pound test for over 2 hours and needed some help from cousin, Craig. But, the got it in!

Tom Maher had just one day to squeeze in some fishing and made the most of it hitting a nice spot of dorado!

Tim Campbell has been fishing with me over 20-something years. He finally brought son-in-law David Spriggs to fish down here and it was fun watching David get his first dorado. They fished the whole week.

Always great when Tim Nishimura from Sacramento comes down with son, Kenny. They have been here for years with us and love fishing with Captain Gerardo. Great guys!

Captain Armando put Steve Haeseker and Dan Schroeder on a jag of dorado for their first time down here with us. Good to have met new Tailhunter friends!

Greg Saubolle has been one of our friends for years, but this time he brought his lady Tracy Gray and got her onto her first gold...actually a lot more than one! Good folks!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Paul Nagata! Over the many years, our friend has been a poster-boy for Tailhunter with all his big fish and great photos. He was at it again this past week.

Lyle Huffaker with his first day big golden bull! Lyle is from Idaho.

Cody and Lucas Huffaker met me years ago in Idaho and have always wanted to come down! Finally made it and took home a bunch of great dorado and had some fun too!

Eric Pennington and Wiley Randolph got some great quality gold on the cutting table there!

Two of my all-time bestest fish brothers, Kenny Campbell and Johnny Gibbs fishing with Captain Armando.

So great to have Fred and Lisa Cruz from Washington come visit us again! With their favorite Captain Gerardo, I see dorado, pompano, cabrilla and snapper on the table!

It’s been many years since Shayne Grove came fishing with us. Great to have him back on the water!

Angelo Oliverio and Joe Malone give a couple thumbs-up on their first day fishing. Angelo…special shout-out to you on making it back after the medical incident! Blessings!

Johnny Terbu and Shayne Grove! Fishing buddies for years from Utah, good to see them on our water again. They started fishing with us almost 20 years ago!

Joe Malone has some colorful blue gold on the day’s catch!

Another view of that big tuna Bob Layko hooked and fought over 2 hours, but needed help from cousin Craig Brown here holding the fish with Captain Armando.

Dave again! Happy guy with more gold!

Rusty Cain has been fishing with us for years and loves fishing with Captain Armando. He was out with family friend, Kayla Lespade from Idaho to watch her tangle with dorado for the first time!

Terry Hawk makes it a point every year to fish with us and his favorite Captain Pancho. Obviously, he does pretty well. He’s had some great catches over the years!

Paul and Captain Pancho again!

Fred and Lisa again…different day…same result…MORE FISH!

________________________________________________

I was thinking that this time last year we were getting slammed by 3-days of Hurricane Norma. Nothing like that so far this year, but sending our thoughts and prayers to all our Tailhunter Tribe and Nation and everyone on the Eastern and Southern areas hit by storms two weeks ago and currently getting wracked again.

We had another good solid week of fishing. Lots of fun. Lots of smiles. Lots of folks catching their first…or their biggest…or the most fish!

This should really be a very short short fishing report. Just let all the photos do the talking!

It’s almost boring! We caught alot of dorado. There! That’s the report!

Both of our fleets did pretty well. Not alot of big bulls but just fun school-sized 5-15 pounders everyday. No matter, it’s a vast improvement over how the rest of the summer/fall has been with such erratic fishing. It’s good to be able to tell folks,”Have fun today. I’m pretty sure you’re gonna catch fish!”

I would say on the average, our boats have been bringing back 6-8 dorado per day. Really hard to tell because fish are getting released. Also, fish are getting lost! That’s just the way fishing is.

The bite can be pick…pick…pick all day and at the end of the day you have a nice box of fish. Or it can be agonizingly slow then all of a sudden…BAM! You hit a frantic school and all heck busts loose in a frenzy!

In addition to the dorado, we got a little jag of 50-80 pound tuna that hit us for 2 days then disappeared. You had to get on thise fish early in the morning before they went down

Also a few wahoo biters but nothing to get too exited about. Got a few billfish…all released.

Inshore, pargo, cabrilla, some roosterfish, but also seeing some cooler-water fish moving in like sierra, amberjack, pompano, trevaly and rainbow runners!

That’s my story!
