Conditions Much improve But...

Really really rare milkfish! I’ve only seen a handful in only 3 decades in La Paz. You see the schools quite often and they are frustrating because you get all excited, but these tasty fish don’t eat bait. They are herbivores! All the most surprising that Gerardo caught this on a live sardine!

MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO FISHING REPORT

Things are getting better.

Things have gotten better.   Warmer days.  Less wind.  Better water.

But, I’m not quite celebrating just yet.  Although we’re technically in springtime, I don’t think we’re completely in the clear.   I think we’re still going to get some windy days.  The fishing is better, but it’s still not full speed.

So, although I’m excited, I’m still pumping the brakes just a bit.

Yes, yellowtail are biting.  It’s a good bite.  There’s some good fish.  Running 15-30 pounds.  Some days can be pretty spectacular.  But, it’s not all the time or everywhere.

Some days the fish don’t bite.  Some days, the fish have moved.  Some days, they eat sardines.  Sometimes, they want mackerel.  Other times like all fish, they want jigs or trolled lures.  But.yes, I would say the yellowtail season is on.

Best spots are high rocky areas or the mounts around Cerralvo and Espirito Santo Islands.  North and East sides of Espirito Santo and the north and south end of Cerralvo Island have been the most productive.

Not seeing much in the way of surface fish like dorado right now because most folks are chasing the yellowtail or inshore, the pargo liso have shown up the spawn.  These tough fish are some of the most difficult sluggers in our waters, but can be incredibly tantalizing to see these huge schools of red and copper-colored fish boiling on the surface.  Especially, when these look like giant red 10-30 pound carp.  With very sharp teeth too!

Other species like sierra, amberjack, smaller roosterfish, cabrilla and snapper pretty much rounded out the catch this week the usual bonito, jack crevalle and triggerfish.

That’s my story!
