SHORT ATTENTION SPAN FISHING REPORT

WEATHER: As could be expected this time of the year, very erratic. Nice days puntuated by stretches of strong northern winds blowing folks off the water plus some heavy rainstorms that hit.

WATER: Definitely rougher, colder and cloudier from all the turbulence.

FISH HOOKED THIS WEEK: If you could get out or did get out, sierra, pompano, trevally, jack crevalle, bonito, cabrilla and triggerfish.

THE MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO FISHING REPORT

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Well…if you’ve been reading my reports for any length of time, you know I don’t pull punches. Best to be honest and up-front. Especially when it comes to weather and fishing reports!

But the truth of things is that, there’s a good chance by the time you’re reading this, things will have changed. It doesn’t stay bad for long. The fish don’t shut down for long. There’s usually more good days than bad days and if you don’t like any particular report…just wait!

That being said, this just that time of year. It’s WINTER!

Although we usually don’t get the kind of rainstorm that hit La Paz a few days ago, we DO get the fierce northern winds and that has precipitated not going out on the water or outright, the port captain makes the decision for you and has shut down the port to all boat traffic. So, no fishing, diving, snorkeling, swimming with the whalehsharks, kayaking or even commercial boat traffic.

That’s the the straight story on things.

If you’re coming down, just be flexible in your schedule. Or scout the weather forecast ahead. If your first choice in days looks bad, at least be ready to change days.

Or ask me!!! Even if you’re booking with someone else, at least, I will give you an honest opinion before you spend your money or alternatively spend your money…got out..and get blown back to shore or seasick…or both!

Fortunately, since the last report, I didn’t have to cancel anyone because I didn’t book anyone because I warned folks about the weather. But, I heard folks who booked with other outfitters had issues.

Plus, we had this freaky heavy rainstorm that hit also! Crazy hard rain. It caused flooding and landslides. Traffic snarls and backed-up drains. Electrical outages and flood damage!

The fish that were caught are from reports that I got from local friends and commercial fishermen who were able to get out for a few hours here and there. No one really venturing too far from shore or these are friends who fish commercially so that have to go out on the water to feed their families.

The forecast for the coming week shows warmer temps in the low 80’s, but strong winds again, especially in the afternooons.

If you want to fish, reach out to me and I’ll look at the forecast. Also give us a few days so we can check which days would be better. We might not be able to fish out with our La Paz fleet, but we can most likely fish you with our fleet at Las Arenas because the area is more protected.

JILL AND I HIT THE ROAD!

t’s road tour time again and we’re excited. This will be 31 years for Tailhunter and maybe 40 if you count the other companies I repped back in the day.

These shows are great for the whole family with all kinds of vendors from around the world of hunting, fishing, camping, RV’s, travel plus equipment, gear and so much more!

We will be on the road from January through March and hopefully close enough to wherever you live to come visit us!

Jilly and I will be in booth every day. Come bay and say hi and let’s get you set up to come fishing this year in La Paz! Or better yet, don’t wait. Reservations are already coming in and dates are starting to full. Get in touch with us. We don’t want to miss you!
