La Paz – Las Arenas Fish Report

Last week Tropical Storm Norbert hit us and interrupted a really nice jag of fishing for a few days. No real damage, just some wind and rain and enough to have to cancel fishing for two days.

But, then, with each passing day away from Norbert, fishing got better and better and better!

For the better part of this week, we were well into some really nice dorado. Good school-sized fish from 8-15 pounds mixed with some larger 20-40 pound models. Both our Tailhunter Las Arenas and Tailhunter La Paz fleets were bent on fish every day!

In addition to the dorado, we were also getting into some sailfish, striped marlin, rooster fish to 50 pounds, a couple of wahoo hookups (none landed) and even some pargo and cabrilla along with the bonito!

A real nice mix. Lots of action. Great conditions. Good numbers of fish.

And all during this time, we saw another storm..."ODILE" forming up south of us. Initially, it looked like it was coming straight for us. It as cause for concern.

But, as with about a dozen storms before it, it started up our way, then with each day it veered further and further west out into the Pacific. At most, we expected a bit of rain and wind. We could handle that.

But, then Saturday night about midnight, ODILE, pulled a fast one and unexpectedly veered right back at Baja. And, as I'm writing this Sunday evening, it's gonna be a big one. It's possibly going to be a CATEGORY 4 or 5! That's "Katrina"-sized storm. That means winds and rains up to about 120-150 mph.

As I'm writing this, rains are just starting to fall and winds are escalating. We were able to fish today, but we're canceling fishing tomorrow (MONDAY) and probably Tuesday as well as I'm sure the port captain won't allow anyone out. We expect that by this evening, we'll start getting the heavy rains and we'll get slammed SUNDAY NIGHT.

We had the football games going full turbo at our Tailhunter Restaurant, but had to send everyone home after the Chargers/ Seahawks game in order to start dismantling the restaurant to securing everything agains the storm and also to let our employees get home to their families. We're sandbagging and locking everything down. Basically under siege for a few days. Hopefully, we'll all be fine.

EARLY IN THE WEEK As it turned out, the fishing came back to life! Maybe not full blast, but compared to the previous week, we were rocking with bent rods and good variety. Both of our fleets...the Tailhunter fleet in Las Arenas and our Tailhunter La Paz fleets found dorado between 8 and 15 pounds on the average, but also some of the trophy bulls running 20-40 pounds. Limits were not uncommon and it was good to see...... Read More
