Buenos dias los pescadores!  What a great end to the month of February, call it El Nino or whatever you want, but the buffet continues!  Our usual winter roster of inshore species were available in many different areas, as well as, some dorado, a couple billfish, and some yellowfin tuna.  Beginning of the month, fishing was a bit spotty as conditions were more uncooperative for anglers.  Not much rain this month, but a lot of wind during the middle of the week, which seemed to settle down towards the weekends. 

Because of the sporadic windy conditions, typical this time of year, we tried to keep the fishing close to land, where there was a bit more protection from gusts.  There were quite a few fierce battles with pargo species inshore; many were landed, but more were lost.  Cabrillas, Sierra Mackerel, and Roosterfish, were all readily available if conditions were right.  Most of these inshore fish were caught with live bait, either casting out, or on a slow troll.  Another hurdle this month, was locating bait.  Was tough to find in rough conditions and when even the water was calm.

Call it El Nino or whatever, but an above average number of Dorado were caught south of La Paz towards Bahia de los Suenos, formally known as Muertos Bay.  Heading south towards this area definitely warrants trolling along the sandy bottoms near La Arenas, the Roosterfish capital of the world.  These beautiful and unique looking fish give anglers an epic battle, especially on light tackle, but are not to enjoyable on the pallet.  We always encourage the release of these aquatic warriors.

All in all, it was a pretty good month, considering the crap shoot with wind and bait conditions.  We should be getting into our Yellowtail bite soon.  These popular fighters usually show around March and can last for a few months.  The Embudo Bank, also known as “El Bajo” is a great underwater structure that holds a lot of Yellowtail during their run through our waters.
