FISHING ON A SCALE of 1-10: 6 MEXICAN MINUTE LA PAZ VIDEO REPORT THE BIG PICTURE and the REST of the STORY… It was his camouflaged shirt! Mac Christofferson with Captain Armando and the matching colorful bull dorado! First time with us, Keely Lauber from Louisiana got her first roosterfish also. (released too!) Our long-time amigo from Boise Idaho on his way to retirement was out with Captain Victor and took a nice cabrilla. The Thompson Family…always into the good fish with a rack of wahoo and big cabrilla! Fishing with Captain Hugo! Allison and Johnny Hogan had themselves quite a week. Check out Allison’s big dog-tooth snapper to go along with Johnny’s dorado. They had a bunch of other fish as well. We’ve known Tom Ames for a long time and he’s letting his Santa Beard fill out nicely! Good yellowtail caught north of La Paz near Espirito Santo Island. I think Darrell Manginelli from Ventura CA must have caught about 10 species on his recent visit with some firsts for him like this palometa! Captain Alfredo with Randy Choate and a nice dorado for the fish box! WHOA! A trophy grouper? A giant cabrilla? Allison visiting us from Oklahoma tied into this big boy and landed it with big smiles! First-time Houston visitor, Howard Bonhomme also got his first roosterfish (released). Just a great photo of Keely Lauber and her bull dorado she fought on 20 pound test and refused to give up the rod! Well-deserved smile! Somewhere behind that rooster dorsal fin is Barbara Choate posing with Captain Victor with a smile. Fish was released. First time and first fish is a bull dorado for Captian Jorge with Mike from Bakersfield CA No question, but Donna Thompson knows how to fish. She always has a knack for big cabrilla also. Fishing with Captain Hugo. Our newest amigo from New Jersey, Eugene Wowk spent the week with us and caught a variety of fish like this dorado. Tough tough fish to pull out’ve the rocks, but Darrell managed this one just off Punta Perrico where the pargo are spawning right now. Pretty photo of Mac with his yellowtail on Captain Rogelio’s boat. Johnny Hogan and that big cabrilla! Another species for Darrell. Roosterfish was released. Another catch and release rooster for Randy near the island! Tom Ames and Captain Armando with another dorado for the box headed to dinner at Tailhunter Restaurant. The Mad Hatter” Konrad Knoeferl has visited us several times and always great to see him here. Day one…roosterfish on the line! (released). He also got some rainbow runners. These are fighters…jack crevalle. Kinda like roosterfish without the headgear! Keely with Captain Pancho. Caught and released. I think this is a good day? Captain Gerardo was out with Allison and Johnny with yellowtail, amberjack, dorado and a big cubera snapper! _________________________________________________________ It was a much more consistent week and more typical of this time of year. Basically spring-time fishing. Honestly, it’s a beautiful time to be down here. The daytime temps are a sunny high 80’s to low 90’s, but the humidity has not shown up yet. The evenings are cool and comfortable down to the high 50’s or lower 60’s. A windbreaker or lights sweatshirt is a good thing to pack along especially in the cool mornings. Waters are getting warmer and bluer as well. The number of species we caught this past week was pretty incredible. But, it’s not uncommon for this time of year where we get such a mix of cooler water and warmer water fish. Cooler water fish like the pargo, yellowtail, sierra and amberjack are still hanging out, but giving way to warmer water fish like the dorado, tuna and wahoo. Plus you have the fish that are specific usually to the spring-time bite like pompano, trevally, roosterfish and jacks. I think overall, we hooked close to 2 dozen different species this week. Not much of any one species to load up on, but just a great variety…one of these…two of those…3 of these…1 of those, etc. And every day was different. Every fishing hole could change. Honestly, you really never knew what you might hook if you had a bait in the water. And that makes it kinda fun! I never knew what the fish report would be from one day to the next. But, everyone caught fish: yellowtail, tuna, wahoo, dorado, roosterfish, cabrilla, grouper, dog-tooth snapper, barred pargo, pargo liso, snapper, pompano, jack crevalle, bonito,and bringing back some of our old favorites now that the upstairs kitchen will be open again! Stay tuned! Don’t forget, if you’re coming down that your balances are due 30 days out. No stress. Just a reminder! We’ll see you down here! That’s my story!
