Last year it was Hurricane Norbert, this year, a 6.9 earthquake roughly 120 miles east of La Paz.  This didn’t down angler’s spirits, as strong varieties of fish overcame the changing weather.  A lot less shorts and sandals seen around in town, but the water temps are still up and that’s keeping pelagics around.

A lot of dorado, smaller, but they’re still dominating the scene and keeping everyone happy.  Size didn’t matter this month as there was lots of action and we are holding fish this late.  Dorados were feeding on a variety baits; smaller fish generally like smaller foods, so little chovies and strips were working well while you’re stopped or on a skid.  While on the troll, stay consistent changing colors until you find some that work well.

South of La Paz towards La Arenas, is where most of the action is.  Schools of Dorado can be caught basically the whole way down to Muertos Bay; if you’re ever looking for a change-up, the rocks always hold great pargo and goupers.  Las Arenas is considered the Roosterfish capital of the world and they’ve remained hungry.  HUGE roosters are still roaming the sandy shores, so match-up properly and git ‘er done!  Not generally caught for the table, they put up great fights and we always encourage they be released.

We always have a great time here La Paz, whether it’s fishing, snorkeling/diving, or staying over night on the MARIANA, the Sea of Cortez can be your playground.  This is a solid time of year to visit as migration season is starting to bring numbers through…..again.  We look forward to serve your vacation needs, please feel welcome to call or email with any questions.

Bien suerte los pescadores!
