DORADO AND OTHER FISH GET SCRATCHY ALONG WITH WEATHER – La Paz Fishing Report for Aug. 5, 2006
PHOTO: Dave Berthold came all the way from New Jersey to “see what West Coast humidity was like.” He also got several nice days of dorado fishing taking a number of fat bulls like this hefty dorado fishing north of La Paz.
SCRATCH FISHING FOR LAS ARENAS AND LA PAZ SO HAVE YOUR “A” GAME WITH YOU
Interesting week. I think we’re still adjusting a bit from that storm two weeks ago and continued iffy weather where it’s blazingly sunny one day then windy and snotty the next. It seemed like we were coming back pretty nicely. Maybe we weren’t getting the numbers of dorado previously but we made up for in quality what we lost in quantity as most of the fish were really nice bulls.
Then, late in the week, we had a tiny little squall and the fish either lockjawed or pushed far outside. I mean way outside north of El Bajo or on the edges of our perimeter east of Cerralvo or south almost to the East Cape. Some marlin grabbed lures, but by this last Saturday, it was considerably slower. I think the fish are just re-adjusting. Inshore fishing for Las Arenas and La Paz is still good. Some pargo hanging in the rocks as well as some roosterfish. But really got scratchy over the weekend.
On both sides, if you were on the right boat you got a fish or two or three. If you weren’t or you weren’t on your game, it was disappointing. There’s fish to be caught right now, but if you aren’t sharp or miss an opportunity, that could be the one or two bites of the day. Everyone late in the week is scattering looking for the bite. Nothing concentrated so it’s a pick. If the weather stabilizes, I think things will settle down.
Don’t know where the wahoo and tuna went, but there was a quick jag of tuna outside Cerralvo that quickly disappeared, and there was a wahoo or two hooked, but nothing stuck.
It’s hot and muggy and partially cloudy here.
That’s my story!
