PHOTO: This is the time of year that schools of speedy-sierra mackerel move up close to shore. Don’t let the word, “mackerel” put you off. This is one of the best eating fish in the Baja not to mention a great gamefish on light tackle.
NOT MANY FISHERMEN IN TOWN TO START THE YEAR BUT ANGLERS GET INTO SIERRA AND CABRILLA INSHORE
LA PAZ/ LAS ARENAS REPORT FOR JANUARY 13, 2008
Frankly, not alot of action out there. Oh, there’s fish, but I think this is the post-holiday blah that we alway see after the holidays every year. Folks have other things on the agend instead of fishing.
Still, we did have a few boats out. Again, due to wind out of the north, we pushed the boats out’ve Muertos Bay where the fish are closer and there’s more protection from the wind. Again, the bread and butter fish of the season are the sierra. Lots of fun on these guys that can zip around on light tackle. Cabrilla (seabass) and smaller pargo rounded out the catch. Some breezers of bonito have been in and out of the cove as well. No shortage of action. Nice time to be in town too. Air temps have been a sunny 70-80 degrees.
CABIN FEVER CLASSIC ANNOUNCED
We finally set a date! The 7th Annual Tailhunter Cabin Fever Classic will be held April 5-9, 2008. (That’s Saturday to Wednesday)
This is a yearly favorite with lots of our regulars returning year after year. We’ll have 5 days in La Paz / 4 nights at La Concha Beach Resort in an ocean-facing room/ 3 days of panga fishing. We include the boat, skipper, tackle, ice, fish cleaning, fish freezing, breakfast, lunch, soft drinks and water on fishing days, shuttles to the boats; airport transfers and all taxes.
For those of you who’ve done this, you know what this is like. We have a kick. We promise no fish, but seem to catch all kinds of fish. This is called the “Cabin Fever Classic” because it’s for all of us that have cabin fever. It’s been a long winter. We’ve been hunkered down in our caves all winter. We need some sunshine and some warm sand and blue water and getting our lines wet. We need a tall cold one and some socializing. We do some fishing. We laugh alot. We eat tacos and fish.
Price is $700 per person double occupancy (two per room and two per boat). Space is limited. So get in touch with us and come join us!
