Buenos dias los pescadores!  One phrase can sum up the fishing this past week: Free-for-All.  Everything was available this week, with anything from solid Amberjack to speedy Wahoo being caught.  All in a day’s work as we like to say.  I’d have to honestly say, the only thing we didn’t catch or hear anybody catch, was the Yellowfin Tunas that were recently rumored to be in the area.  This is the fishing that keeps the popularity of these waters growing and most importantly, smiles on angler’s faces.

Fishing around the Island of Espiritu Santo, produced some beautiful Yellowtail including some 40+ pounders caught on live mackerels (the bigger the better in this case).  Also hitting the beaches gave some hard fighting Roostertails a chance to smoke your reel.  We’ve had a particular good season for Roosters and Yellowtails, they showed up early and have stuck around longer than usual.  As the waters continue to warm-up, there is no telling how much longer these fighters will be here.

Fishing further south near Las Arenas and Cerralvo Island was a different story.  I’m not trying to take anything away from the anglers that had great success closer to La Paz, but this was a great week!  Huge pargo are still up from the deeps and breaking people off in the shallow rocks.  What a challenge going for these beasts, sometimes rewarded and sometimes you’re not; but hey, that’s fishing.

The Dorado fishing seems to be heating up more and more with the southern end of Cerralvo still being the better area to target.  Nice Amberjack are still are hitting live sardines as well as Wahoo making a solid showing.  We’ve started to hear more reports of billfish making their ways back into the area; looks like we’re setting up for a great summer!  What can we say, this is what people come here for.
