2025 Kicked Off with a Bang, with Crazy Yellowtail numbers

2025 kicked off with a bang down here in La Paz.

Yellowtail season showed up early this year — and hasn’t slowed down since. Cooler water temps rolled in ahead of schedule, and the fish followed right behind. Since early February, it’s been one steady bite after another.

We’re seeing solid fish in the usual spots — big ones close to town, and huge numbers out on the seamounts. Sardines and mackerel have been easy to come by, and with the north winds finally calming down, the weather’s been just about perfect most days. Those chilly early mornings warm up fast, and the bite tends to turn on right with it.

If you’re a yellowtail junkie, it doesn’t get much better than this — limits have been common, and the action has stayed hot through March.

On top of that, we’ve had plenty of other wildlife around:

• Roosters have started cruising the beaches
• Cabrilla are in the mix
• A few dorado and marlin made early appearances
• Dolphins, humpbacks, and even gray whales dropped into the bay for a surprise visit

We’ve also been running regular trips out to Isla Espíritu Santo, and the conditions out there have been amazing. The scenery, the calm seas, the wildlife — all of it just reminding us why this place is so special.

And a quick update…
We’ve been quietly working behind the scenes on the Baco website — it’s now faster, cleaner, and ready for more. We’ll be posting regular fishing reports again, plus we’ve got some cool new products and updates coming your way. Stay tuned!

All in all, it’s been a killer start to the year.
And the way things are looking… we’re just getting started.

See you on the water,
