SPOTLIGHT SHINES ANOTHER WEEK ON HOT YELLOWTAIL BITE!
La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Jan. 22-29, 2012
It was another productive week…at least for ½ the week. Early in the week conditions were excellent and we got into more of those nice yellowtail and pargo. However, by the time mid-week showed up, the days started out nice, but my mid-morning, the winds were up and howling. Seas were up and choppy and just as well to either head back in or not to have gone out at all. Pretty typical for this time of year. But then again, as the weekend drew near, conditions settled again and the bite turned on again!
When the bite was one, boats averaged 1-5 fish each. These were 15-45 pound fish eating live sardines, mackerel, jigged heavy iron and deep diving Bomber, Yo-zuri and Rapalas over areas deep enough to drag the deeper running lures. It seems the larger fish were closer to to Cerralvo Island with fish averaging about 30-40 pounds. The “smaller” fish…but still tough…15-30 pounders were found just outside of Muertos Bay, Punta Perico and Boca de Alamo.
Inshore, the cabrilla, jack crevalle, sierra, bonito, snapper keep it fun, but the focus has been on the big pargo that, like the yellowtail, appear to have shown up earlier than usual this year. The big mullet snapper pargo are ranging over the rocky areas in water as shallow as just a few feet as they come in to spawn. The big fish are ranging from 10-20 pounds, but larger ones are tough to get out’ve the rocks!

A MONSTER of a sheephead! Rene Jueng and Captain Fernando show off a huge sheephead they caught just outside of Bahia de Los Muertos. In all my years in La Paz, I've only seen a few...even while scuba diving! I've seen them in other places, but surely none this huge in our waters. This is a great eating fish and a trophy-sized sheephead.
Fishing THAT good? Here's another shot you won't see often...yellowtail caught on a paddle board? Yup! Jerry Tomasek who has a place in La Ventana caught this yellowtail in about 20 feet of water in front of La Ventana. He fought the fish 1 1/2 hours and the fish pulled him over 2 miles offshore! The next day...he did it again! He caught the fish on a live ballyhoo he caught on a jig!
