Las Arenas Fishing Report

This area has been a bit of a puzzle this past week. The biggest news is that we got our first football yellowfin tuna in a long long time. There's some spots of tuna that keep popping up around Cerralvo Island with some fish up to 100-pound reported by commercial fishermen.
The bad news is that we only got about a dozen footballs all week that went 12-20 pounds. That's it. There are so many bonito around that you catch about 20 bonito to get one tuna...if at all. I mean, it's alot of fun and alot of action. But, if you're looking for some good ahi meat to take home, it's alot of energy. Still, it's nice to have the tuna around!
The other downside is that if you spend the better part of your day chasing tuna, you won't get much else. So, the counts have not been real good for our Tailhunter Las Arenas fleet. When they DO chase other species, there's dorado around and the pangas will get 2-8 fish hooked up per day and the counts differ. It all depends if the guys went after the tuna or not.
So, what alot of our guys are doing is getting their dorado and ice chests filled by fishing La Paz, then specifically going for tuna with our other Tailhunter Fleet at Las Arenas. Seems to work out OK.
Last minute update: Five wahoo taken on two pangas late Sunday up to 50 pounds!

Fish aren't bit, but they're fun decent fish of 10-20 pounds with an occasional 30 pounder. Some days are better...... Read More
