Gary Wagner, the owner of the famous Giggling Marlin Bar in Cabo San Lucas also has his Rancho La Costa there in Bahia de los Muertos and went out in the afternoon to try to catch some dinner and came back with this sweet fat yellowtail right off the rocks at Punta Perrico using dead mackerel.
GREEN COLD WATER…AGAIN! (But wait…)
La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 20-27, 2017
It was a chilly windy and even rainy week in the La Paz area this past week. You had a little bit of everything and from day-to-day, the weather patterns were so erratic it was hard to pinpoint. You could go through several different “conditions” all in the same day or even moving a mile or two away produced completely different conditions. But, that’s how it’s been all winter. Up down and sideways.
The effect on the fishing and fishermen has been just as erratic. We normally, don’t have that many folks out on the water anyway during the winter, but the few walk-in clients we’ve had have been disappointed when we turn then away after warning them of impending winds and rough water or…they decide to go out anyway and, except for the occasional flat day, they get tossed all over and the fishing is not that good.
After several months of pretty consistent wind, also, the waters are green, cold and cloudy from all the turbulence. My captains on both the Las Arenas/ Muertos Bay side as well as my captains in La Paz tell me the waters are really turned over. That’s going to take awhile to settle down…once the winds consistently take a powder. The upside is that this is the kind of winter conditions we need. The colder water brings in the nutrients. That brings in the baitfish. That’s a good sign for the upcoming fishing season. In the past two years with El Nino, the waters stayed warm and the nutrients for the baitfish never showed up. Ergo, there wasn’t much baitfish!
Just the same, there were some small windows of fishing available! Or, if you were willing to brave the elements there were some scattered fish to be caught.
There’s a few ranging dorado either holdovers from last year or the advance scouts for the upcoming season. They’ve been running between 8-12 pounds. We also found some yellowtail off the south end of Cerralvo Island and Punta Perrico just outside of Bahia de los Muertos. Mackeral are the preferred bait or fishing the yo-yo iron, but the bait is key. However, if the waters are too rough, it’s hard to catch the bait. The yellowtail we caught were nice grade 20-25 pound fish. There’s also jack crevalle, bonito, snapper and cabrilla. I’m surprised we’re not catching more sierra this time of year.
It’s been breezy in Bahia Magdalena for the whalewatching this year, but on the calm days, the whales have been more than cooperative to come visit with the boaters!
Wil you scratch my nose for me? My mom can’t do it for me!
WHALE WATCHING STILL GOING WELL
We’re still running our daily trips out to Bahia Magdalena for the whale watching. It’s been a bit windy and breezy this season, but the whales are literally a “stone’s throw” from the beach so it’s been fun and great to see so many folks enjoying communing with these awesome creatures with whom we share the planet.
We only have probably just a few more weeks until they start heading back north to the Bering Sea so if you’re interested in a day or multi-day trip, let us know! Write me directly at Jonathan@tailhunter.com
IT”S TIME FOR THE BIG SHOW in LONG BEACH!
After 6 weeks on the road and fantastic shows in Denver, Sacramento, Seattle, Portland and our last show at the Great Western Hunt and Conservation Expo in Salt Lake City that was completely off-the-charts…here we come to the biggest and oldest fishing show of all. In fact the Largest in the World!
It’s the Fred Hall Fishing and Boating Show in it’s 71st year and will take place at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach CA from Wednesday to Sunday. This show is massive! Anyone who is anyone, especially if you’re a bluewater or freshwater angler…and hunter…or spearfisherman is there! Great place for the family and so much to see, learn and purchase from boats to gear to guns. Folks come from all over the country to see this show! They start lining up hours in advance.
Here’s more information plus how to get online tickets: http://www.fredhall.com/long-beach/
Lots to see and do from seminars to demonstrations and the aisles get pretty packed sometimes! But, there’s just a ton going on!
And or course, with about 100,000 of our “best friends” coming to visit and talk about fishing in La Paz, it’s always a party at the Tailhunter Booth!
Me and Jilly! Let’s talk fishing!
On year the lights went out in the whole Long Beach Convention Center…it didn’t stop the revelry at the Tailhunter Booth! Thankfully, there is “flash photography!”
All my best friends in the fishing industry come by the Tailhunter Booth. It’s like a gathering of tribes!
Come say hi! We’ll see you here in Long Beach!
WILL NOT BE A THE BOISE SHOW – OH NO!
Regretfully, we are also always at the awesome Boise Show at the Boise Fairgrounds in Idaho. We love Boise!!! Because of the conflicting show schedules this year and last, Jill does that show and we were really looking forward to seeing so many of our friends there. However, this week, we have our first grandchild on the way, and as if writing this, the kid didn’t get the memo and is a tad late. So, Jilly will stay with our daughter, Jessie in Las Vegas and hopefully our new grandson! We’ll make it up to you, Boise! If you want to write to Jill, her e-mail is Jilly@talhunter.com. Mine is Jonathan@tailhunter.com
That’s our story!
