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

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!

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!

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!
