PHOTO 1: The week started off nervously as strong north winds came barreling down on us forcing us to cancel some boats, but with each passing day, the fishing came back stronger. Las Arenas continued to kick out the tuna. Here, Mark Stoller from N. California holds a 25 pound class yellowfin off Muertos Bay.
HIGH WINDS GIVE US A SCARE BUT TUNA COME RAGING BACK ALONG WITH DORADO AS WINDS CALM DOWN FOR GREAT WEATHER AND GREAT FISHING!
La Paz / Las Arenas Fishing Report for Oct. 14, 2007
PHOTO 2: Jillene Steven formerly of San Diego, but now living in La Paz fished for about 2 hours putting limits of yellowfin tuna aboard in short order with all fish between 10 and 20 pounds. It wasn’t complicated fishing as the fish were more than willing to eat a sardine on a hook sometimes as soon as it hit the water! Jill also got a few pargo as well.
PHOTO 3: Lest you think that we only have tuna hitting, Johnny Drucker, who just moved from Oregon to Redondo Beach CA was on his first trip down this past week and surely did get tuna, but he also got this nice bull dorado. Dorado are definitely in the area but so much focus has been on the tuna. However, refusing to be left out, the dorado schools sometimes maraud right through the tuna schools wacking everything in sight!
PHOTO 4: Hiding behind the nice bull dorado being held up by Captain Archangel, Steve Laurentis was also on his first trip and could not have done any better. He slayed fish daily, but this nice bull off Punta Perrico was the topper. 
PHOTO 5: Seal Beach resident Lloyd Layne has been with us many many times since our first days here in La Paz. He never fails to do well. Many folks think there’s no roosters this late in the season, but it’s mostly because no one is fishing for them! Lloyd took a day off from tuna and dorado and went after roosters all day in Muertos Bay. He caught and released 15 roosters of varying sizes!
PHOTO 6: Ray Chow and his son, Nathan, are also old amigos of ours. I lost count of how many tuna they caught over 4 days of fishing, but the fish they hold here are a good example of the type of football yellowfin we’re getting right now. The fish are in a wide arc between the Arenas lighthouse and the mouth of Muertos so you could literally be in fish 3 minutes from leaving the beach once y0u have bait!
PHOTO 7: These are some special friends, Gary and Sheila Olsen from Utah. I could not get Sheila from smiling from ear-to-ear. She had never done anything like this but spent 10 days with us taking in just about everything La Paz had to offer. However, she also fished for 4 days and simply hammered the fish. Here, Gary, Sheila and I pose next to a day’s fishing in Muertos Bay.
PHOTO 8: OK…you know they’re here! This is a shot of a mako shark off the transom of skipper Juan Chuy’s boat. It was hooked by Tracy Maybank of S.California who must have hooked just about every pelgaic species we had to offer during 2 days of fishing. That’s quite a feat. However, even better was the fact that Tracy released almost all his fish including this shark! Good for him. 
PHOTO 9 – Al Tesoro and his son-in-law Troy were with us for 3 days of fishing this week. They hoiste a few of their yellowfin tuna as well. Like so many others this week, it was easy to lose count of the fish but I know we sure put alot in the freezer for them. Using a little 25 pound flurocarbon was a nice tip and when the fish went down, changing to dead bait or live bait with a small rubber core sinker kept the fish biting.
