Crazy good yellowtail fishing this week…the best of the year. Brian O’Niel and Leif Dover came out to fish with us from Atlanta GA and timed a week’s worth of fishing just right hammering 6 ‘tails and losing 2 on their first day out…just as the bite started!

The yellowtail went off at Cerralvo Island and even the guys from La Ventana and El Sargento got into the big chew. (Thanks fot Hawk for the great photo!)

Recently retired Darrell George kicked off the “easy life” the right way coming out to fish with us from New Mexico with his dad and they also got into the big yellowtail bite with fish up to the 40 pound class off Cerralvo Island.

Check out this fat forktail hefted by Joel Zarmati who stuck this thick fish in the early morning bite off Cerralvo Island late in the week. (Thanks for the photo, Roger!)

This is what you call a “mossback” yellowtail…thick fish with the dark back! Big smiles and a heavy gaff from Leif as he sticks the fish. That’s Cerralvo Island in the background.

Roger Thompson is one of those guys who has great ju-ju when he fishes! We normally don’t see billfish until the spring, but both striped marlin and sailfish are already in the area and already eating! Several of our fishermen took several this week. Roger was out for yellowtail when he stuck this nice striper. They were unable to let it go and cooked it up for everyone!

Brian did this yellowtail the hard way! He was using a sabiki rig (light tackle multi-hook rig used to catch bait) to catch mackerel to fish for yellowtail when this nice yellowtail crashed the rig and left Brian gingerly trying to get the fish back to the boat ! He and the fish went at it for more than 1/2 and hour before he put the fish on the gaff! Good job, Brian!

Gary Morris and Graham yellowtail tags 2-13

Gary Morris and his buddy, Graham live in El Sargento/ La Ventana and they took a day and got into the yellowtail bite too! Great eating!

Tailhunter heads to the Boise Sportsmens Show this week, but we wanted to thank everyone who came to chat at the booth including our best amigos, Tim and Taylor Torres who drove in from Las Vegas to see us! Tim and I used to be neighbors and hadn’t seen each other in about 25 years! They’re going to be coming to fish with us in La Paz! We signed up alot of new folks who’re coming to visit us in La Paz in 2013. Great show and a great time in Phoenix!

BIG YELLOWTAIL PLUS MARLIN AND SAILS BLOW UP AROUND CERRALVO ISLAND!

La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week for Feb. 17-24, 2013

Probably the best fishing week of the season!

It was pretty much wide open fishing around Cerralvo Island…at least for a few days…then it shut off for a few days…then went crazy wide open again later in the week!

Again, the winds…or lack of them…were the key! In the best yellowtail bite of the season, 20-40 pound fish ripped into pretty much everything that hit the water…live mackerel…dead mackerel…jigs and lures! Our own pangas fishing from Bahia de Los Muertos as well as pangas from La Ventana and El Sargento pulled up with commerciall pangas and private boats to jump on the bite.

One of our anglers said, “We got 6 yellowtail ranging from about high 20’s up to one at 38 pounds, we’ve basically filled 2 coolers already! Got 3 bonito and lost 2 more yellowtails today too, but not too bad a day. Wind was medium out of east in the morning and then switched to north and horrible by about 11 (in the morning) , got pretty rough on the ride from Cerralvo over to Las Suenos.”

“Can’t wait for tomorrow, these suckers are back breakers but fun as hell!”, he added.

The key was to get there early and get the live mackerel before too many boats got on the spots or the winds started to pick up. If you had the live “candy bait” mackerel, it was instant bendo. But, even if you had the dead bait, the big fork tails would jump the hooks. We had some guys even get bit while they were using their sabikis to catch mackerel! (See the photos of Brian O’Neil above!) These were solid stocky fish and about 30 percent of the fish were lost.

Roger Thompson told us this, “We were late getting there yesterday and we missed the bait bite. Only had 3 live baits and Captain Hugo got 5 dead baits from one his buddies. I hooked 4 on iron (lures) and boated 2. Donna caught 1 on on live bait and 1 on dead. My friend Joel caught 2 on dead bait. I couldn’t believe these fish were eating dead mackerel! “

However, in addition to the mackerel, surprisingly no one told the billfish that it’s winter! We had one of the nicest bites of sailfish and striped marlin that we’ve seen in quite awhile! Even for prime time…and this isn’t “prime time”… but no one told the billfish. We had one panga hook 6 stripers in one day catching and releasing 2 and losing 4 others. Some of the other pangas were also hooking them in several areas all around Cerralvo Island and even more surprising, there was a big school of billfish right off Punta Perico which is about 100 yards from the beach and about 3 minutes from where we launch our pangas!

More from Roger, “…I saw a fin on the water as we headed over to the island and thought is was a manta but only saw one fin. As we got closer it was moving, so we tossed a live mackerel at it with one of my 50-pound yellowtail setups. This marlin was hungry! He slammed the bait and an hour later we snapped the photo (see above) . He had a bad line cut on his eye and Hugo was salivating so we kept this one. Donna and I keep one marlin per year. It’s been 2 years since we took one…… Do you know how good fresh barbequed marlin is?? WOW!!”

If you couldn’t get the mackerel, sardines were blowing up the dorado (they didn’t hear that it was winter either!) as well as pargo, sierra and cabrilla.

Later in the week, the winds came up again and the bite quieted somewhat, but then this past weekend hit and the winds went flat. Sure enough, the yellowtail came up for the chew and blew up again! We’ve not had a yellowtail week like this in a long time!

In a surprise bite considering it’s winter, we’re still pulling in dorado! Captain Jorge holds up the kind of “warm” water fish we’re getting out of Las Arenas with fish between 10 and 20 pounds! Either we’ve still got warm water left over from last season or perhaps…water is warming faster than we think and the warm water fish are already moving in? Hard to know, but no on is too upset with these great fish!

More our style for this time of year…cooler water fish like Rob’s nice fat yellowtail taken out of Bahia de Los Muertos…in between strong winter winds! When the wind lies down, we’re getting fish!

February is still prime time for our grey whale tours at Bahia Magdalena. The whales will start moving out generally in March. Don’t miss the opportunity for this great experience to get close to these incredible animals in the shallow calm waters of Baja. Ask us about trips!

Tailhunter is now leaving Yakima WA and headed to Glendale (Phoenix) Arizona for the next hunting and fishing show. We had a great time in Yakima and will be at the International Sportsmens Expo at the Phoenix University Football Stadium where the NFL Cardinals play from Thursday to Sunday. Come say hi and talk about your next La Paz fishing adventure and check out our new t-shirts like the one being modeled by our young amiga, Ellie and Jilly! Hope to see you this week!

DORADO SURPRISE ANGLERS IN WINTER BITE

La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 10-17, 2013

Early week seasonal winds continued to plague the fishing, but just as well that we really didn’t have anyone wanting to go fishing, but it wouldn’t have been good anyway. But, later in the week, we did get out and the winds cooperated. It’s the northern winds that really give us the most problem making it difficult to fish as well as get bait.

However, crazily when we got out fishing we got some nice variety. I say “crazily” because it’s winter and we’re catching dorado…normally warmer water fish that we don’t see until maybe April or May. Not only did we get dorado, but some of them were really respectable-sized fish in the 10-20 pound class. Surprisingly, these fish were in the same spots as the cooler water fish, specifically, pargo and yellowtail…fish that we normally catch this time of year…colder water fish. This leads me to believe that there’s some crazy thermoclines right now with surface water temperatures much warmer than below the surface. But…hey…no one is complaining! A winter fishing day that ends up with dorado, pargo, sierra and yellowtail is a banner day no matter where and when you’re fishing!

Winds should be better this week and we’ve got folks fishing all week so we’ll hopefully have a better handle on what’s out there!

TAILHUNTER TOUR 2013

By the time you’re reading this, we’ll be on our way from Yakima WA to Phoenix AZ. Long drive! But we’re just wrapping up our 5th show of the season at the Central Washington Sportsmens Show in Yakima where we had a great time meeting all kinds of new amigos and now headed to the International Sportsmen’s Show in Phoenix at the University of Phoenix Stadium…the football stadium where the NFL Cardinals play. It’s a great venue and we always have a blast. The show starts Thursday and we’ll be in the booth through Sunday. (Feb. 21-24) Here’s more information: http://www.sportsexpos.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewlocation&locationnumber=6

Come see us and let’s set up your 2013 La Paz fishing trip! See you this week!

Our good friend, “Hawk” Davis, was able to sqeeze out some days on the fishing grounds in between wind to get in on the yellowtail bite we got this week!

Whale watching in Bahia Magdalena is going on full-swing right now in the bay’s shallow warm waters where the grey whales spend the winter. It’s a great experience and we’ll be running trips through March! Ask us!

We just finished our 4th Tailhunter Show of the season at the Portland Expo Center for a great show where thouands of folks showed up for one of the largest fishing and hunting shows on the west coast! We talked to hundreds of folks each day and got great visits from so many local friends like Amy and Belmond Mann who brought the family to say hi to us! This week we head to the Yakima Sun Dome in Yakima WA for the 24th Annual Central Washington Sportsmans Show from Feb. 15-17th. Come say hi and talk to us about your 2013 La Paz fishing trip!

YELLOWTAIL HIGHLIGHT WEEK OF FISHING

La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 3-10, 2013

Late week, winds finally settled down enough to make it comfortable to fish. Earlier during the week, seasonal winds made it just too crazy for us to really put folks out on the water. Many folks this time of year, aren’t hardcore anglers and are often folks just in town looking for a day on the water so it’s often best just to just keep an eye on the weather so that we can put them out when it’s calmest and they can enjoy themselves and get some action. Honest, though, it it weren’t for the winds, it’s really pretty nice in La Paz with daytime temps in the mid-70’s and being in town is really enjoyable right now. Oh, and carnaval started this week too so town is hopping and it goes on through next week!

Anyway, time on the water was productive with a nice variety of fish and some solid action.

The appearance of yellowtail again was the most welcome part of the bite. These were some nice fish that ran 15-35 pounds! Real slugger toads with maybe even some larger fish breaking off as they often head right back to structure and the rocks. As I mentioned, many folks aren’t big time anglers, and when some of these freight trains hit, you don’t get a second chance to figure out what to do or make mistakes.

This is the same for the larger cabrilla as well as the pargo. First thing they want to do is head for home in the rocks and that’s often not very deep. So, there’s not much margin for error. When a huge pargo, hits if you’re still fiddling with which way on the fishing rod is up, you’re toast! I mean, that’s part of the fun. But, it’s not like a tuna or dorado which might have a hundred feet or so of water beneath it to run or wants to rip off 300 yards of line on the uptake. Yellowtail, pargo, cabrilla and other “rock fish” can often be in water that’s only 10 feet deep and dotted with reef and rocks! So any hesitation and the fish simply busts you off!

So, often counts would be better except that fish are getting lost.

That being said, we did get some nice yellowtail mixed with smaller cabrilla, pargo, sierra along the beaches and good numbers of bonito which provide great action.

That’s our story!

Pretty good day of fishing for Amy Sheridan from Wyoming and Ashley Jerrigan from Ohio who spent the day fishing with us later in the week when the winds died down. It make all the difference! Big cabrilla and dorado get hoisted on the gaff pole while the ladies pose on the beach at Bahia de Los Muertos.

Slugger-sized mossback yellowtail like this one caught by Joel Zarmati have taken up the bite around Cerralvo Island and a few other areas. Finally, the wind settled down and anglers were able to get out and rack some of these nice fish (Thanks for the photo, Roger!)

Here’s some of the best eating fish in our area! We call ’em cabrilla…Mexican seabass and this is a hefty trophy that Ashley’s holding up while famous Capt. Victor looks on.

Captain Fernando poses with anger Wayne Jarrett who stuck this big boy bull dorado out at the 88-spot. The big fish are still around, wind permitting!

From now until about mid-March, we’re running our whale watching trips from Bahia Magdalena where the whales have migrated to mate and give birth. It’s an incredible experience to get this close to these magnificent creatures and a great lifetime experience for the whole family to get right up to the whales in the shallow calm waters of the bay! Ask us for details!

Jill and I had a blast at the Washington State Fairgrounds this past week meeting lots of our amigos and Tailhunter Tribal members. We’ve been on the road now for a month and have Sacramento, Denver and now Washington under our belt. Next stop is Portland, Oregon for the Northwest Sportsmans Show at the Portland Expo Center. Come see us and let’s talk about getting you down to fish with us in La Paz!

WIND DROPS AND FISH CRANK UP ACTION!

La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Jan. 20-27, 2013

The beginning of the week was a continuation of last week’s strong winter winds that kept everyone off the waters and hunkered down onshore. But once the winds let up we got back on the water again and late week bites confirmed that the fish are still there and going strong!

There’s a great and rather unusual mix of fish with both warm and cooler water species mixing it up and helping fill up the boxes.

For warm water species, it’s pretty unusual for us to be finding dorado this late/early in the season. It’s hard to know if this is a continuation late season bite or just an extremely early vanguard of a new dorado season. I guess it doesn’t really matter! Dorado are dorado and everyone’s happy with them! Not many complaints when breezing dorado come running through the chum line and tear into the lines! The fish are rangy with sizes going from 5 to 30 pounds or so…a nice grade. The fish are eating sardines, mackerel, dead baits and chasing lures…willing and eating!

In addition, the other inshore biters are ripping as well. Again…this seems a mite early in the season, but no one is complaining. This includes largo lisp (mullet snapper), cabrilla (sea bass) and some nice slugger yellowtail as well with fish up to 30 pounds.

As expected, the inshore fish are being found in the shallow waters around structure like reefs and rocks which help them stack odds against the angler show not only have to battle the fish, but the rocky jagged environment waiting to shred lines! North and south Cerralvo are especially good for the yellowtail as well as in Bahia de Los Muertos near the point and a tad further south near the Boca de Alamo Arroyo.

Other species have included some nice jack crevalle and bonito.

For some other great activities, the whales have shown up and are going full force out at Bahia Magdalena and we’re running our annual whale watching tours out to the bay to see the whales. The best time to see these magnificent creatures in the bay after their migration from the Bering Sea is from now to about mid-March.

TAILHUNTER ROAD TOUR

It was a difficult week to get out there to fish because of the strong winter winds characteristic of this time of year, but our amiga, Donna Thompson got out and got this good-looking barred pargo (pargo mulatto) fishing the rocks near the La Reyna lighthouse in the background at the north end of Cerralvo Island. (Thanks to Roger Thompson for the photo!)

When the winds lie down, the yellowtail like this hefty forktail, fishing looks like it’s heating up. Check out the nice yellowtail taken just outside of Bahia de Los Muertos just off the shore. The fish ate a greenie mackerel.

The whales have started to show up in Bahia Magdalena once again after their migration from the Bering Sea. It’s a spectacular day in the shallow bay getting up-close to these great creatures! We’ve stared running our annual day tours to the bay for the whale trips. Just e-mail us for more details!

This week, we’re moving from the fantastic show we had at the Sacramento ISE to the Denver Convention Center in Colorado for the International Sportsman’s Expo that runs Wednesday to Sunday (Jan 17-20) for four days. Among the hundreds of exhibitors, Jill and Jonathan will be in their booth to “meet-and-great” and give you al the details about fishing in La Paz. Come get one of our 24 page brochures or our new DVD. Check out our new t-shirt designs too!

ROUGH WEEK CURTAILS MUCH OF THE FISHING

La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Jan. 7-13 2013

It wasn’t a great week of fishing mainly because of the winds. That’s still the tricky part this time of year. Earlier in the week, it was just too windy to be out there and fortunately, we were able to tell our anglers to hold off for a day or two. Honestly, we could have fished, but realistically, there’s no point if it’s going to be bouncy or it’s going to be hard to get bait. No one has fun. And it’s supposed to be fun, right?

Especially, this time of year, when many of our anglers aren’t hardcore. Many are snow birds just wanting to get some sunshine an maybe a day of fishing into their vacations away from places like New Hampshire and Minnesota and Canada. So, it’s important to have a good experience.

So, putting it off for a day or two maximizes the event and makes all the difference. Because later in the week when things calmed down a bit, we got out and got a nice variety. Again, many of our anglers didn’t have a lot of experience so having a good variety made for fun days. They got into nice bunches of sierra near Las Arenas along the beaches as well as cabrilla along the Punta Perico area and some of the nicer pargo around Cerralvo Island on the east side and for one boat that went north, some decent-sized barred pargo.

A few yellowtail were hooked south towards Boca de Alamo, but again, lack of experience cost the fish, although the clients still had fun. We got a few school-sized roosters as well off south Cerralvo Island. Fun on the lighter tackle.

Hopefully, the wind will give us a break this coming week!

WINDY CONDITIONS HAMPER FISHING MOST OF WEEK BUT FISHING PICKS UP LATE WEEK!

La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 17-23, 2012

A very windy week in La Paz making it a bit rough to fish. (In fact, that is also why for the first time in about 16 years of doing these weekly fishing reports…I have no photos!) But… in all honesty, perhaps this was our windiest week in a bit. Fortunately, for us, not many anglers either as we had a bit of a lull before the holidays and I think everyone was gearing up for Christmas and the influx we’ll be getting this week.

Still, because of the winds, we had to shuffle folks around to get the least windy days. For most of our visitors right now, it’s different than during the high-season when folks are here to fish literally every day of their vacation. Right now, it’s mostly folks here for the holidays to escapting colder climes to get a little sunshine and they’ll squeeze in a day of fishing or fishing is a quick after-thoughts. This means that if there’s a day when it’s too windy, we can shuffle them around a bit to a different day.

But, even then, most of our fishing was confined closer to shore than normal. Still, on the up-side, we normally don’t have to go that far anyway! We did get some dorado pretty close in. None of the larger bulls like we’ve been getting lately ,but any kind of dorado right now is a bonus and the ones we got were decent, good-eating 10-15 pound fish. Sierra also made up a nice part of the catch with pangas averaging 4-6 fish up to about 4 pounds with our best hits not too far from the Las Arenas lighthouse.

Roosterfish up to about 25 pounds were also around with our better spots right in Bahia de los Muertos (Bahia de los Suenos) and further south off Boca de Alamo. Several larger fish perhaps in the 40-60 pound range broke off before they could get near the boat, but were seen and fought for a bit.

Keep in mind this was pretty sporadic fishing compared to what we’ve been doing lately and most of the better fishing was at the end of the week. In fact, we had a little strange jag of fish on the weekend with some yellowtail…yes yellowtail (cold water fish) caught the same day as dorado (warm water fish)! But here’s the kicker, the same panga got two wahoo! Not big, but hey…18 pound ‘hoos? In December? Just another example of the wacky fishing this past week. We’ll keep an eye out.

Winds are diminishing this week so we’re looking forward to some better fishing!

Have a safe, happy and peaceful Christmas to you and yours! God bless.

This looks like a poster! The colors are incredible on this bull dorado that Tim Zimmer caught with Captain Jorge out of Bahia de Los Muertos with us. It was another week of surprising big dorado up to 40 pounds…the kind we normally get during warmer weather! We also had quite a variety of other fish as well.

Big fat sierra! We’ve had some of the biggest sierra I’ve seen in a long time these past few weeks. Just check out this big sierra that Christine Ainsworth caught fishing with our Tailhunter Las Arenas fleet. The fish are schooling in the shallows right now and can be great on light tackle!

Just to show off some of the variety these past few week, we’ve gotten pargo, cabrilla, rainbow runners, jack crevalle, roosterfish, sierra and great eating fish like Verda Boyd’s Africa pompano she’s got on the gaff here with Captain Jorge.

Posed like a professional! That’s exactly what Mike Ainsworth does! He’s a fishing guide up in Washington and knew exactly how to hold this roosterfish he got on the flyrod just outside of Bahia de Los Muertos that can be seen just behind him in the background only yards from the beach. We’re still getting roosters in varying sizes like school-sized fish all the way up to 70 and 80 pounders!

There’s a reason the local name for jack crevalle is “Toro” which means “Bull” in Spanish. These jack crevalle are among the gamest fighters in our waters. Tim shows off one jack he got while fishing 3 days with us.

SAILFISH – BIG DORADO – ROOSTERFISH SURPRISE WINTER ANGLERS!

La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 11-16, 201

We had some late week rains which are very unusual for this time of year when winds are usually what we have to worry about, but we had a bit of both. As the week went on, the winds got stronger then the winds died and then the wind died and we got some crazy rains! Nothing really strong, but enough to fall fairly steadily and get everything wet on and off for about 2 days!

However, earlier in the week, we really had some excellent fishing. Once again the dorado were truly a surprise. Hard to believe it’s winter when 20-40 pound dorado are ripping up the anglers and putting some big smiles on faces. But, that’s the kind of fishing we were getting. Limits or near limits of dorado with the larger fish and bigger schools east of Cerralvo Island. On top of it, even-to-some-degree when the weather was a bit sour, we had sailfish and smaller striped marlin in the count!

Closer to shore, smaller schoolie-sized dorado, but add in some solid sierra fishing plus pargo, cabrilla, a smattering of jack crevalle and pompano and bonito and it makes for some great unexpected action! Even bigger surprise, we got hammered by some really unexpected catches of roosterfish…and not just the smaller school-size fish either. We got some 60-80 pound bruisers just off Punta Perico and the lighthouse as well as some of the roosters on the flyrod.

Hope your holidays are going well!

That’s our story!

They have been so few and far between the last two years that their appearance so late in the fishing season has been a great surprise. Our amigo, Mark Martis, from Redondo Beach CA, hefts of a fat wahoo he caught south of Cerralvo Island.

We’ve had so many great folks from Idaho this year! Terry Robinson from Twin Falls put some nice dorado into the panga but also put the hurt on this trophy roosterfish while fishing with our Las Arenas Fleet. The fish was released. Roosterfish have hung around longer than I would have thought.

Our amiga, Donna Thompson, lives with her husband Roger out at La Ventana and has front row seats to keep an eye on conditions in the channel when it can be really windy on the way to Cerralvo Island. She and Roger ran out to the far side of the island and hit the 88 bank and hung some of the better dorado we’ve seen in a few weeks! It helps that Donna knows how to fish very well also!

Fishing with Capt. Adolfo of our Tailhunter Fleet, Karina Vescio from Orange Co. CA, got into a nice day of sierra fishing in her first time fishing with us!

Love this photo although I wish it were clearer. A.J. Rose drove all the way down to La Paz from Denver to fish with us and had a banner day with sierra, dorado and pargo!

Graham overton alberta canada tags wahoo

Now here’s a story…Graham Overton from Alberta Canada was paddling his kayak just offshore from El Sargento and dragging an old javelin lure that used to be made by the folks who make Rapalas when this big old wahoo bit ! Took him awhile in the kayak, but, as you can see…he got the big skinny to shore! Wow!

Tyler Martis poses with one of the toughest fighting and best eating fish in our waters. It’s a barred pargo also known as a pargo mulatto. Tyler is from Redondo Beach CA and was fishing near Las Arenas. Pargo are feeding in the rocks right now.

Nothing better than watching kids with their fish! On the beach at Bahia de Los Muertos, Sean Rose from Colorado holds up one of his dorado he caught fishing with dad.

SURPRISING VARIETY OF FISH STILL BITING LATE IN SEASON

La Paz- Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Nov. 25 to Dec. 2, 2012

Another really nice week of fishing with nice sunny weather in the high 80’s and although it was breezy, we’re fishing out of Las Arenas/ Bahia de Los Muertos where waters are calmer and fish are closer to shore…and cooperative! (Why go out far when you don’t have to and get wet and beat up?)

Mostly fishing live bait, we’re still getting dorado around the buoys and closer with random fish and smaller schools of 10-15 pounders freelancing around as close as a few yards from shore. As well, using live bait but with wired hooks or with smaller rapala / yo-zuri / mega bait –styled lipped lures, we’re getting some great action on sierra. If you get into a school it can be quick fast furious action.

Additionally, we’re still picking up an occasional wahoo near the island on the larger rapalas and yo-zuris with darker colors getting the most attention. We had a number of fish lost when they either bit through the lines or simply crushed the lures or twisted off the hooks! But, the fish we got in were all decent 30-50 pounders! But, clearly there are ‘hoo around Cerralvo Island. I’m sure if we had more fishermen out on a regular basis looking for them, we’d be hooking more of the elusive wahoo.

By the way…wind permitting…there’s some bigger dorado outside on the 88 spot east of Cerralvo Island. Reports of some 30-50 pound dorado out there also came in this week.

Inshore fishing on for roosters has also been good this week with some pargo and cabrilla also making it into the counts! Roosters have ranged anywhere from 5-40 pounds. Pargo and cabrilla have been up to about 15 pounds. Bonito, jack crevalle and some pompano have also added to the action.

That’s our story!

Great photo! Dan Neale of La Verne CA holds up a beautiful late-season bull dorado caught just outside of Bahia de Los Muertos on a live sardine. Dan was on his first trip with Tailhunters in La Paz. The dorado are still biting!

With Captain Pancho all wrapped up (he has an allergy to dust!) he helps out my high school classmate Gary Howarth who poses with another dorado he caught south of La Paz. Don’t know how much longer the dorado will be around, but they’re a welcome catch right now with the seasons changing!

There are days when you can catch these all day or a quick limit within a short time! Sierra schools have moved into the shallow drop-off areas and live bait on a thin wire or else trolling small rapalas or yo-zuris or anything shiny will get a viscious strike! Great eating fish and a favorite for ceviche!

It’s that time of the year and one of the great draws in La Paz right now have been the whale sharks swimming in the bay in shallow water. Snorkeling with these 15-30 foot gentle giants is an incredible afternoon adventure and only several hundred yards from the city waterfront.

WARM WATER SPECIES STILL LINGER FOR ANGLERS WITH COOLER SPECIES MIXING IN

La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Nov. 18-25, 2012

We hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving weekend! We’re grateful to all our Tailhunter friends and tribal members who read our fishing report each week!

Let’s get to it…

We’re still doing some pretty good fishing for so late in the season and the mix of fish is really surprising. With northern winds getting stronger and air temperatures getting cooler, I’m really happy to see such a great variety of species that we’re catching…most importantly the “glamour” warm water species that so many anglers come to catch!

Almost all of our fishing now is out’ve Las Arenas where even if the winds are closer, we’re more protected for launching our fleet as well as just more comfortable fishing! When fish are as close as just a few yards from shore, there’s no reason to run way outside and get bounced around and get your kidneys shaken loose outside the wind line!

But that’s what makes it fun right now. In addition to a decent dorado bite of 10-25 pound mahi both inshore and hear the closer buoys, the southern side of the island is still getting some late season wahoo bite with fish up toe 45 pounds. Rapalas doing most of the damage, but several were hooked on bait while guys were fishing for other species. The biggest hinderance is the wind which can really whip it up getting over to that side of the island from Muertos Bay ahd headed north.

But not far from shore from the Arenas lighthouse down to about Pescadero, we’re encountering dorado, roosterfish, nice batches of sierra, pargo, cabrilla, rainbow runners, pompano, bonito and jack crevalle. All of this can make for a lot of action in a fishing day!

Live bait is not a problem most day with live sardines available for purchase although they do tend to be on the smaller side so smaller live bait hooks are suggested. Due to the time change, I know it sounds early, but we’re leaving the hotels at 4:45 a.m. to get out at first light. Hopefully, the bite will continue a few more weeks!

That’s our story!

Jilly Roldan of Tailihunters! We finally were able to get her out and she still has game! She and Captain Pancho hooked up for this sweet-colored bull dorado she took on 30-pound test and her new “Chix Stix” custom-wrapped gift from B&B Custom fishing rods in Portland. Dorado were surprisingly biting great for this time of year!

Gary Howarth and Dan Neale from La Verne CA were on their first fishing trip to La Paz and enjoyed some great fishing. “We started with sierra and caught and released so many we had to stop!” said Gary. “Then we went just a little bit further out and we hit one buoy and got into double and triple hookups. Again we released so many fish. Great day!” They were fishing just outside of Muertos Bay.

Raul Chollet has the “bug” after trying fishing for the first time with us. He got 5 dorado, 2 sierra and this great-eating African pompano (palometa) fishing in the Las Arenas area not far from shore.

He’s posing with a funny face just for the camera! But our amigo, Raul Ramirez, shows off one of the sierra he caught which are biting great right now. He also got dorado as well and brought his mom and son to the Tailhunter Restaurant to have us cook it up! Raul owns the popular “Sinatra” karaoke bar in La Paz as well as the “Casa de Villa” bar on the malecon.

I almost hate to post Roger Thompson’s photo here! Great wahoo shot. Roger found the high spot at the south end of Cerralvo Island and got a rack of these nice ‘hoo while trolling deep divers. Roger lives right there across from the island at La Ventana, so he’s not only an outstanding fisherman, but can see when it’s good to go out. If its too windy, he grabs his windsurfer. If it’s calm, he goes fishing! He’s living the dream! The problem with going to the island is that with north winds, it’s often tough to get out there this time of year. Roger can pick and choose the best times plus has his own boat or can grab a local pangero. But nonetheless, a great catch and good to know the elusive wahoo are there!

Dos amigos! Raul Ramirez y Raul Chollet were pretty excited about their dorado catch. It’s always good when first timers get into fish!

DORADO SIERRA AND A VARIETY OF SPECIES PUT ON A NICE SHOW FOR LATE SEASON!

La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Nov. 11-18, 2012

Really a surprisingly excellent week of fishing. Now that the winds have started coming mostly from the north, it’s a little rough to fish out’ve La Paz so all our fishing has been with our Tailhunter Las Arenas Fleet pushing out’ve Bahia de Los Muertos.

I thought things would have turned since things are cooler but we had some really fun fishing. In fact, some of the best dorado fishing in weeks has been going on with fish between the shore and inner buys just outside of Muertos, our anglers have been taking limits of dorado up to 30 pounds with most a fun 10-15 pound side, especially fun on light tackle! Some of the fish have literally been in shallow water just yards from the shore or rocks in areas where the anglers were really fishing for other species!

The best thing about the fishing right now, in fact, has been the plethora of other types fo fish we’re hooking. It almost reminds me of spring-time fishing with breezy conditions and cooler temperatures and as many as 10 different species a day this past week!

In addition to the dorado, the sierra have been going great. Some pangas hit early limits of all the sierra they need then go run for dorado or other species such as pompano, jack crevalle (nice school just ouside the bay), roosterfish, bonito, pargo, and cabrilla. We’re even still hooking some billfish with striped marlin and smaller sailfish close to shore as well. Plus, yes…there’s even a wahoo or too if you can get over to the island in the wind. All-in-all, a good week! Not sure how much longer it will last, but we had a great time this past few days!

That’s our story!
