La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report from Tailhunter International for Week of Dec. 7-14, 2014

Tracey and Brian Campbell tags small dorado 12-14

Tracey and Brian Campbell were originally supposed to visit us last September, but Hurricane Odile got in the way . They were able to visit us this past week and get in some scuba diving, snorkeling and even a few days of fishing. Day one produced some nice dorado for taking back to Maryland and for dinner at Tailhunter Restaurant!

Carlos Cota just went out for an hour. That’s all the time he had. We went just past the point in about 30 feet of water to catch a few snapper for dinner and ended up with this striped marlin instead. Just shows some of the crazy variety right now. They weren’t able to release the billfish.

CRAZY MIX OF FISH STILL HAPPENING BUT COOLER CONDITIONS ARRIVE

La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Dec. 7-14, 2014

This past week was much more characteristic of December fishing.  We had a little wind.  A little breeze, especially late in the day.  Waters are turning cooler and so is the air temp, but the sun has been out all week and it’s a pleasant time to be in town.  Not many folks are in town now so you have the waters and the town pretty much to yourselves.

For the fishing, it seemed like it was different from day-to-day and panga to panga.  All of our fishing right now, is pretty much with our Las Arenas fleet, because the waters out of La Paz are more subject to the rougher waters and also greener waters not conducive to very good fishing.

But, for the bite, we’re still getting some nice wahoo…some billfish…and dorado.  Plus rooster fish seem to pop up ever few days as well.  The problem now is that it’s not consistent.  I tell folks there’s a big difference every day.  If the blue water fish aren’t biting then the inshore fish like sierra, pargo and cabrilla be come the target or, if the waters are bouncy or rough, there’s just no way to go too far out and you’re relegated to staying closer inshore fishing structure fish like the species mentioned.

The rub is that it’s hard to tell which fish will bite when.  We do keep an eye on the winds and generally speaking if the winds are blowing from the north, then we’re gonna be fishing inshore and there’s not too much chance of blue water species.  However, that being said, we DID hook a striped marlin this week less than 50 yards from shore in only about 30 feet of water and some of the dorado we hooked this week were close to shore as well!

 That’s our story!  Hope your holidays and Christmas season are off to a good start!

La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report from Tailhunter International for Week of Jan. 5-12, 2014

Jorge dorado small tags

Dorado in the winter? That was a big surprise this week as a number of our anglers got into the dorado not too far off the beach near Bahia de Los Muertos. Captain Jorge with our Tailhunter Fleet shows off the kind of fish we were catching!

More typical of our winter fishing are the schools of sierra that come up into the shallows and make for great light tackle fun plus great eating like this one taken just off the sand at Punta Arenas.

Yes! It’s about that time again. Each year the incredible migration of the gray whales takes place and the visitors take up a 3 month residence near us at Bahia Magdalena about 3 hours from La Paz.

FISHING REBOUNDS…SOMEWHAT NICELY AFTER HOLIDAY SLOWDOWN!

La Paz – Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Jan 5-12, 2014

The fishing  rebounded somewhat from the slow windy week we had the previous week to start the year.  The key really seemed to be the winds.  They can get pretty blustery this time of year and there’s usually a direct correlation between winds…the number of fish caught…the types of fish caught…and definitely the number of anglers out there!

But, this past week the winds were at least a tad more forgiving and as might be expected, there was an upswing in the fish.  The surprising thing was that we didn’t get the type of fish we might expect this time of year.  Normally, we see inshore fish like sierra, and cabrilla (sea bass), bonito and jack crevalle.

And yes, we did get some of those!  But, what really surprised me were the dorado that showed up!  Yea…that’s right, dorado.  A real treat since dorado tend to always be warm water fish and the type of fish we get in the summer and warmer months of the fall.  Not winter!

Anyway, a nice bonus with fish around 6-10 pounds.  Nothing earth-shattering, but 3-6 fish per panga is pretty sweet for a day of winter fishing to be able to bring some mahi mahi back home to the ice chest and grill!
