Fish Report

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN REPORT

WEATHER:  Quite a temperature range.  As high as low 80’s, but more likely the high 70’s but cooling down to the lower 60’s.  Big issue were the northern winds we get this time of year.  Blew pretty hard and the port of La Paz was closed a majority of the week to all boat traffic because of the rough waters outside that bay.  That meant all fishing, snorkeling, scuba, whaleshark, as well as commercial activity was shut down or cancelled on that side.  Even got some rain this past week as well.

WATER:  Ocean conditions are predicated by the rest of the weather and with the northern winds becoming more prevalent, waters are cooling as reflected in the fish that were hooked when the winds calmed down enough to get out on the water.  If the wind is blowing, it’s pretty rough!

SPECIES HOOKED THIS WEEK:   Sierra,  trevally, pompano, amberjack, bonito, jack crevalle, roosterfish, snapper, pargo, cabrilla, triggerfish, dorado

THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY…

Hope ya’ll had a great Thanksgiving!

As is typical this time of year, the northern winds were blowing, but this particular week, they really kicked in.  So, for the majority of the week, the port captains shut down the port to all boat traffic for safety reasons.

Really tough luck for so many visitors in town for Thanksgiving week, but the closure meant all fishing, snorkeling, scuba, whaleshark and other boating activities had to be cancelled.  Even commercial boat traffic was shut down.

Often, it’s difficult for visitor to understand because at times, the waters in the bay don’t look too bad.  What they don’t understand is that outside the bay, it could (and was) incredibly rough and precarious.

Fortunately, we simply don’t put out many fishermen from November to April so we didn’t have to cancel any of our fishing trips.  Additionally, we have our other fleet at Las Arenas and were able to get a few trips out. The area tends to be more sheltered from the northern winds and fishing spots can be found without having to go too far.

Judging by the catches, the winter water conditions have arrived with cooler ocean currents reflected in the nice catches of sierra, pargo, cabrilla, snapper and other cooler water species we tend to find during the winter months.  However, there must still be some warm water patches as a few stray dorado were hooked in the channel and some roosterfish were still found along the beaches.
