A bit windier this week with a few days that were really bouncy, but still overall really pleasant conditions. But, as we get closer to winter we're going to see more winds and especially winds from the north. But, for that very reason is why we're doing most of our fishing from Las Arenas right now since we can launch from the beach at Bahia de Los Muertos where we're a bit more protected from the winds and it's also easier since the fishing is much closer...like RIGHT THERE!
I'm not kidding. We're getting a variety of fish within minutes of where we launch. The bay itself is holding some decent rooster fish up to about 40 pounds. By the northern point of rocks, there's jack crevalle and cabrilla. As soon as you pass the point, drop the lures and there's always the possibility of wahoo literally within a hundred yards of the rocks! Go south or just outside to the buoys and you can hit dorado.
Anywhere in between, there's also the chance of more wahoo, billfish (sails mostly), pargo, and bonito. Great variety and in between these gusty days, conditions are about as pleasant as you could want with air temps in the low 80's and water temps just about the same. Just be flexible on your fishing days, if you can, in case the day you want to go out looks like the wind is going to kick in.
Keep an eye out as well. There's so much sea life out there. Schools of dolphin...sea turtles...whalesharks...blue whales...manta rays. Pretty incredible time to be in La Paz!
