SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER:  Is it spring-time yet?  It sure seems like it many days.  Temps tickling the low 80’s now, but night are still cool dropping almost 30 degrees into the mid-50’s.  Still most days of the week are too windy to fish effectively but there are more days when the winds cut back.

WATER:  Dependent on the winds.  When it’s not blowing, waters can be very flat.  Completely the opposite if the winds are kicking.  Waters gradually getting warmer, but still mostly colder water species biting.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK:  Yellowtail, sierra, triggerfish, jack crevalle, bonito, cabrilla, snapper and one big giant yellowfin tuna

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Once again, I was really waiting until I had enough info to make it worthwhile to do a fishing report for you so I could tell you the latest.  Finally got some decent stuff put up!

First and foremost, it’s still off-season.  It’s still windy most days…too much be out fishing.  Or to be comfortable.   November to April is off-season because of the winds.   So, let’s get that out’ve the way!  Winter isn’t over yet!  But, it’s not quite spring-yet ever!

But, the good news is that things are moving in the right direction!

Some days it’s getting up to the low 80’s in the daytime, but don’t put that sweatshirt away yet.  Nighttime temps drop down to the cooler mid-50’s!

However, waters are gradually warming and the days when the winds aren’t blowing, the seas really flatten out and many fishing spots are much more accessible.   It has resulted in some really nice yellowtail up into the 20-30 pound class that are really tearing it up as they are hitting live mackerel, live sardines, heavy jigs and trolled Rapala or Yo-Zuri type lures .  These are tough fish and heavier rigs are definitely suggested because these horses will hit then want to go straight back into cover.

Inshore, there has been a nice bite of sierra, pargo, cabrilla, snapper, triggerfish, jacks and bonito.

The real kicker was the huge yellowfin tuna picked up off Bahia Muertos!   It weighed in at 96 kilos…about 212 pounds.  We know these badboys are around, but in the 30 years down in La Paz, they are hooked, but these beasts are rarely brought to the boat!
