Conditions seem to be changing very quickly here in our area. It's the only explanation why we're getting such a crazy variety of fish at the moment. Not only are we getting our cold water/ winter species, but some warmer water/ pelagic species are also showing up.
The areas seem to differ, but there's a pretty interesting mix of fish.
Around Cerralvo Island and with our Tailhunter Las Arenas fleet, we're getting the usual species like pargo up to about 10 pounds; cabrilla (Mexican sea bass) to about 6 pounds; bonito, sierra, jack crevalle and smaller amberjack. However, we're also getting rooster fish, school-sized dorado to about 10 pounds and we even got a 40-pound tuna this week off the island. We also hooked marlin and wahoo this week but they broke off.
North of La Paz in the areas around Espirito Santo Island and the high spots, we finally seem to have found some decent spots of yellowtail that are willing to bite on the larger baits as well as on the iron. There's a few dorado around as well.
