She says sierra are among her favorite eating fish as the sleek speedy toothy fish have now moved into the shallow areas and are making for
PHOTO 2: Here’s a good sample of some of the variety available right now. This is the catch by Amy and Belmond Mann who came down to celebrate their anniversary with us. On the right are several nice sierra; then a pompano and a dorado. They also got a couple of wahoo the day before!This is just fun fishing right now. It’s a bit breezy, but not hot. Not many folks on the water and just low pressure fun fishing. Surprisingly, despite the lateness of the season, there’s an incredible amount of variety in the water.
Because the seasons are changing we are getting all the transition species. With waters still warm in some areas, dorado are still being caught for both our La Paz and Las Arenas fleets. It’s been a real nice surprise to find these guys still hanging out. Some days, they’re gone but other days you hit a bunch of free-swimmers and hang some fish. Or, you can pick pick pick and end up with a nice box of dorado at the end of the day. No one is complaining.
The other blue water fish still around, are also a bit surprising. A few billfish were hooked and lost but we still have wahoo on the high spots and several were put in the boats.
The other side of the coin shows the cooler water fish that have also moved in. Sierra have been our bread and butter the last few weeks and they’ve made for some great light tackle sport. You sure can catch a mess of ’em if you’re on the right spots. But other species are in the same areas…cabrilla (seabass); snapper; pargo; roosterfish, permit and pompano.
Don’t know how much longer this all lasts as we head into December. Winds are blowing stronger and waters are cooling, but it’s pretty nice to be on the water these days!
