Nice one-day catch for Tim Hoops and his boys with some surprise early season school-sized dorado and sierra while fishing with us from Las Arenas. This photo was taken on the beach at Bahia de los Muertos.
It’s that time again! The grey whales have arrived in Bahia and Tailhunters is running our daily whale watching trips to Bahia Magdalena. Come check it out!
We’re Denver bound now! Jill and Jonathan in their booth ready to set up your next La Paz fishing adventure!
SOME SURPRISE SPECIES ADD ACTION!
La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of January 4-11, 2015
The New Year is off to a good start! We had some nicer days on the water this week. Some breezy days, but overall, some good days to be on the water, all things considered. It’s just a nice time to be in town. Sunshine and 75 degree days and 60 degree nights and not many tourists in town almost make it a “sleepy seaside city.” It’s really one of my favorite times in Baja.
For the fishing, there were some surprises. We got the usual winter-fare of inshore specials including some pargo liso…running about 5-10 pounds. Cabrilla in the 3-4 pound class. Some surprisingly large sierra this year up to about 5 pounds and some good fun with 4-6 pound bonito.
However, surprisingly, we had some appearances of some species we normally don’t see this early in the year. For one, we had a few of our anglers tie into some pre-season rooster fish! Normally, we don’t see roosters until maybe late February or March so these were a nice bonus. The fish ran about 10-20 pounds and were taken around the Las Arenas lighthouse and Bahia de Los Muertos.
The other surprise was the showing of small school-sized dorado. Perhaps 10 pounders, but great eating and again, we don’t usually see them in May so perhaps this is a sign of some early mahi moving into the area.
By the way, word has it that our scouts are already seeing gray whales over at Bahia Magdalena! It seems they’re coming a tad early as well. This is a great opportunity to get about as close to one of these wonderful huge animals as humanly possible without getting into the water! We’ll be running trips until about late February or Mid-March when the whales start swimming north again But for now, this is the time when the whales arrive after the longest and largest migration of any animal on Earth all the way from the Bering Sea to spend time mating and birthing in the warm lagoons of the western Coast of Baja. Ask us about or great whalewatching tours!
TAILHUNTER / WESTERN OUTDOOR NEW 2015 PANGA SLAM JACKPOT TOURNAMENT IS FILLING!

TAILHUNTER ON IT’S WAY TO DENVER
We just wrapped up the first of our road shows with an explosively great fun 4 days at the California State Fairgrounds for the Sacramento ISE show! With over 650 vendors it was the largest fishing and hunting exhibit in the history of the Sacramento ISE and IT WAS PACKED! Thanks to all our amigos who came out to see us and say hi and to also set up their La Paz fishing adventure with us. We had a great time and also a big thank you to everyone who brought us so many goodies…everything from sushi to Chinese pork buns…wine…See’s candy…homemade cookies…homemade cheesecake…homemade carmel corn…gourmet chocolate…cheese…bread…pastries…champagne…you’re the best. Also a special shout-out to the Tim Campbell family (Better known as the TIM and PAULA BUTTERWORTH FAMILY…I screwed up dangit!) who put together a little ice chest travel pack for us on the road filled with gourmet cheese…baguettes…marinated mushrooms…candies…seafood spread…wine and more! We were well stocked for our journeys!
But now…here we go again. We hit the road and are now on our way to Denver. We’ll be at the Denver Convention Center from Thursday to Sunday this week. One of our favorite cities, this will be the Denver ISE show right downtown. Come see us! There’s tons for the whole family if you love the outdoors especially fishing and hunting.

It wasn’t the best of weeks for fishing Strong winter winds whipped the area for several days giving even the palm trees along the La Paz Malecon on the waterfront little respite.
We know the fish are out there! Check out this big bull taken by Wayne Jarrett out at the 88 spot east of Cerralvo Island…just before the winds started. Big bulls like this aren’t very typical in the winter, but various reports from several areas confirm that the dorado are still hanging around! The problem is either getting to those spots or braving the waves and big winds to get the bait to fish for the quality fish like this! (Thanks for the great shot, Hawk!)
Horse yellowtail like this one caught by our amigo, Art “Doc” Flippin who comes all the way down from his job in the Arctic to fish with us, have been very close in the shallows just south of Bahia de Los Muertos. The promising bite was shut down by the winds and we plan to recon the spot again hopefully by mid-week when the winds should diminish.
It’s whale season as the grey whales have begun returning to Bahia Magdalena to the west of La Paz! It’s an incredible experience to get this close to the gentle animals and Tailhunters is running daily trips now through March to spend a day on the bay with the whales. Just e-mail us at riplipboy@tailhunter-international.com.
Thanks to all of our amigos who came to visit us at the Denver Convention Center this past week. We has a blast seeing old friends and meeting new ones and talking about fishing in La Paz. Our “tour” now takes us to Puyallup, Washington at the Washington State Fairgrounds. Jill and I will be in our booth from Wednesday to Sunday. Come say hi and let’s chat about your 2013 La Paz fishing vacation!
WORST WEEK OF WIND KEEPS EVERYONE OFF THE WATER
La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of January 12-20, 2012
Not much of a week of fishing. In fact, how about zero fishing. I think that’s the first time I’ve reported that…EVER in 17 years down here in La Paz!
Cold weather and incredibly strong winds kept everyone off the water or close to shore. Certainly, not much fishing going on, but thankfully, we didn’t have anyone reserved for this week. It wasn’t just choppy, it was rough out there as it seemed the winds blew continuously as a windy front pushed through and chilled everyone! If you walked around town, everyone seemed to be bundled up although many tourists found 67 degree weather to be rather pleasant. For locals, there was a rush to put on jackets and long pants!
Commercial guys say there’s still some dorado outside at the 88 spot east of Cerralvo Island but no one really wants to go out there and get smacked around on a long run. There’s also yellowtail stacking up at the north end of Cerralvo Island as well as around Bahia de Los Muertos. The week really started out promising, but then the winds came up and it wasn’t worth it to go out. Everyone just wants the winds to stop!
Typically, we do indeed get winds during the winter, but rarely is it do we get continuous winds for several days. Normally, we get it for a day or two intermittently. We’ll keep an eye out on it. According to the advisories, we’ll start to see some decrease in the velocity of the winds about mid-week. Hopefully!

We had an outstanding show at the International Sportsmens Expo at the Denver Convention Center this past week. But now, the “2013 Tailhunter Promo Tour” rolls on!

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!
Tailhunter 2013 Tour Heads to the Denver ISE show in Colorado this week!
This week, we’ll be headed to Denver at the International Sportsman’s Expo at the Denver Convetion Center. This is the 36th year of this fantastico show.

Jill and I will be in our Tailhunter Booth to answer all your questions about setting up your 2013 fishing trip to La Paz. We’ll have our new t-shirts as well. You’ve gotta check out the new designs!
