We had a mixed bag this past week. The bad days were so-so, but the GOOD days produced some really solid rocking fishing. Both our La Paz AND Las Arenas fleet got into some quality fish...maybe not quantity...but the quality of some of the fish really made it. With air temps into the high 80's and low 90's, conditions were mostly good. Co-incidentally, the days when the wind blew are the days when fishing took a powder!
So, the better the weather...the better the fishing. And, like I said, the good fishing was pretty darned good!
For our Las Arenas fleet, inshore the mix produced some pargo, cabrilla, bonito and sierra. But, the big news were the roosters that started to show up with some fish going 30-40 pounds (almost all fish released). But, we also had a good showing at Cerralvo Island of some of the fatter yellowtail as well. Even more exciting was the fast yellowfin tuna that came breezing through!
For our La Paz fleet, that's where the bigger bad boys started to bend some rods finally. There were some slow days, but the good days produced some slug yellowtail; larger grades of cabrilla and big-time pargo mulatto; plus around Espirito Santo Island, the kind of 30-70 pound rooster fish the La Paz area is known for. There were even some marlin hook-ups. Live bait was the ticket, but on the yellowtail for those guys who know how to fish the iron, it was a bonus! Reportedly, there are some yellowtail just inside of La Paz Bay which would mean there are fish less than 5 minutes off the beach. We'll have to keep an eye on that.
We finished our 3 months on the road with a blast of a show at the Fred Hall Fishing Show at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in San Diego. Oh my...so many amigos stopping by and it was like a massive fiesta at the Tailhunter Booth. And now it's time to pack it up head home and let's get the season rolling! Let's fishing!
However, before we do that, Jilly and I just wanted to extend a massive MUCHAS GRACIAS to all of you who made us so welcome along the way and all the great shows. From fellow-vendors to visiting amigos and family, you're the best. As we moved from week to week and from show to show in Sacramento...Denver...Seattle...Portland...Phoenix...Yakima...Long Beach...Salt Lake City and San Diego, it could not have been better and we thank you for all the smiles and laughs. Tailhunter has the most awesome tribal members and the time went way too fast. We're blessed and God bless all of you. We'll see you in La Paz!
That's our story!
