Few guys were as happy to finally get their first rooster fish as Taylor Rowland from Anchorage who works for Extreme Expeditions in Alaska as a hunting and flyfishing guide. He took this big boy just along the western rocks at Bahia de Los Muertos fishing with Tailhunter Sportfishing. The fish was released.

Anniversary sierra for Ann Armstrong from Seattle! This ended up as ceviche at the Tailhunter Restaurant. Ann is from Washington.

Tough jack crevalle (also known as “Toro” or “Bullfish” for their power) caught by another of our great Washington folks, Mark Bonsack. The fish was released as they don’t make good eating.

On the fly! Pro hunting and fishing guide, Jeff Pralle, put this dorado on the boat with his flyrod from the other side of the bay near San Juan de la Costa. Jeff heads up Extreme Expeditions in Alaska.

Jasmine poses with her big roosterfish just outside of Bahia de los Muertos where she was fishing with Captain Victor. The fish was released. She’s from Washington .

Damon Harvey flyfishing bonito tags 4-16

Damon Harvey from Prudoe Bay, Alaska got this tough bonito to eat the fly. He got several and released all.

Delbert Corson holds up one of the nice sierra we got into this week.

Whoa! Even with the camera angle, this is a HUGE triggerfish taken by Roger Armstrong from Alaska. It’s a giant! They can get pretty mean when hooked but one this size is a brute. They also caught and released several roosterfish between 20 and 35 pounds.

Alaskan amigo, Damon Harvey with one of the larger roosters of the week! He quickly got it back in the water.

The cabrilla are nice-sized these days. Gerardo has a double handful of two nice ones! These seabass make great eating.

MIXED BAG AS FISHING WARMS… A BIT

La Paz-Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for week of April 10-17, 2016

Not at all a bad week of fishing. It’s still early in the season and the fish are still trying to come on, but anglers this week were treated to quite a variety of fishing. Not great fishing…nothing spectacular as we’re still not up-to-speed, but there was some fun action to be had, especially on inshore species like rooster fish, cabrilla, pargo and sierra. The biggest issue, right now is getting live bait which has been difficult to find for all fleets. El Nino lingers.

Oh…and the winds came up again late in the week. Still some residual winter stuff so we kept folks off the water on Friday and Saturday and they made it up on other days when it was calmer.

LA PAZ FISHING

I’m surprised fishing isn’t better. In any other year, conditions look ideal. Warming clear blue water with tons of sargasso weed floating around which normally draws dorado and other species. However, Espirito Santo Island and the other usual spots have been rather unproductive. About the only spot is an area across the bay at San Juan de la Costa which has at least produced good numbers of small dorado which have provided some really good action. However, the fish are very small and anglers have been catching and releasing many keeping only some for dinner or so. But, that’s about the only action and I expect things to change.

LAS ARENAS/ MUERTOS BAY

Again, this is where all the variety is. Every day is still different and the bit can be erratic, but there are fish to be caught. It’s just difficult from day-to-day to know what’s going to be caught.

At the island and near Punta Perrico, there are some wahoo and yellowtail down deeper closer to the structure. As well, some of those same areas are producing snapper, pargo (several varieties), and some really exceptionally large cabrilla. As well, there’s larger-than-normal sierra, jack crevalle and bonito as well.

The best catches have been on rooster fish. Again, not everyday, but if that’s what you want to target and have a few days, chances are good for fish in the 20-40 pound class. Not the big boys yet, but plenty big for most folks and still full-of-fight. All the fish we got this week were released.

That’s our story!
