La Paz – Las Arenas/ Muertos Fishing Report from Tailhunter International for Week of April 19-26, 2015

don white wahoo pancho 4-15 tags small

There’s a little honey hole hotspot just outside of Bahia de Los Muertos that’s just off the rocks that has produced some really nice wahoo this season and has to surprise folks about just how close to shore it is! Don White, our Oregon amigo and Captain Pancho pulled this wahoo there late this week!

Captain Pancho with Tom Brown and a dorado taken just off the rocks at Punta Perico just outside of Bahia de los Muertos near Las Arenas. As waters continue to warm, we’ll see more dorado showing up!

 

 

pargo tags gary tsunoda small 4-15

Double handful of big barred pargo for Gary Tsunoda who pulled these guys out’ve the rocks out north of La Paz Bay. Great eating!

 

jack crevalle debbie 4-15 tags small

Big big jack crevalle for Debbie White who always seems to get a large fish every time she fishes with us! Not too many fish like the jack that can rip it up. The Mexican name for them is “TORO” which means “bull” for good reason!

It was another pretty good week for roosterfish for our anglers who fished out’ve Las Arenas/ Bahia de Los Muertos. Tyler Lyon with a pretty fresh one. The fish was released. Tyler got this one on a flyrod.

Gary Tsunoda was totally dialed in on pargo and red hot on the bite! Colorful fish!

 

MIXED WEEK FOR WEATHER and FISHING

La Paz – Las Arenas / Muertos Bay Fishing Report for Week of April 19-26, 2015

Weather and fish-wise, it was an up-and-down week.  I think we’re in that “transition” season when it’s not really winter and it’s not quite springtime.  There are areas of warm water.  There are areas of cooler water.  There are areas where the surface water is cold and the water below is warm…and vice versa.  We have sunny warm days that look like postcards and we have cloudy windy days and even some showers on other days that aren’t quite so hunky dory.  And that’s the kind of week it was.

Consequently, we have several things going on with the fish.  On one hand, there’s alot of variety.  Cooler water fish like amberjack, pargo, cabrilla and sierra are still around.  But, in the same area, you might get rooster fish, bonito, marlin, dorado and wahoo.  That’s a good thing.  Variety is nice.

On the other hand, if you’re coming to target a certain species, that species might not be biting on that day.  Or, due to changes in the weather, the conditions just aren’t that great.  Then, there are other days when everything seems to go off.  You just gotta get out on the water and take a shot.

LAS ARENAS / MUERTOS BAY

This is still the area for the most action and the most variety.  This is where I’ve been sending more of the first-timers or families or when kids are here.  There’s no shortage of stuff to catch most days.  Get bent.  Have fun.  Pull on some fish!  Just go have a ball.  There’s rooster fish; some dorado; a shot at wahoo; maybe a marlin; trigger fish; sierra; pargo; cabrilla…and lots of bonito.

A word on these bonito before you turn your nose up at it.  These are “bonito dientero.”  Toothed bonito…also called white bonito.  In addition to being tough fighters, the meat is pink and white not dark like the bonito you might be used to.  It cooks up great and we encourage folks to keep some.  After it’s cooked or made into sashimi, most folks can’t tell that it’s not tuna.  Tastes pretty good!

LA PAZ

I’m a bit worried.  I think the waters have gotten a bit too warm now.  The mackerel are hard to come by and without the larger baits and with the warmer temperatures, it seems the yellowtail have gone deep or gone away.  Not much in the way of yellowtail this week.  Got a few, but they were small.  If they are still around, they only seem to be interested in the larger baits or iron.

However, there’s still some big fish around.  Trophy barred pargo and cabrilla, amberjack and chunky rooster fish are around.  Also seeing more and more sailfish and marlin as well.

WHALESHARKS

This week there were 3-8 whalesharks each day in the bay to swim with.   

That’s our story!
