We’re traveling the country doing all the outdoor fishing and hunting shows right now. Just wanted to share some of the road signs we’ve come across. This is a rather famous truck stop in Colorado.

YELLOWTAIL FINALLY BITE BUT PARGO NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP CENTER STAGE!
The La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Feb. 1-8, 2009
Well, it’s a bit early in the season perhaps, but the yellowtail that had been teasing us for a few weeks finally got into a nice snap and we got some of the forktails off Punta Perrico this past week. They weren’t the big hog yellows, but still, decent 12-16 pound fish. Too early to say if this is the full-blown thing yet, but it’s nice to put some yellowtail in the boat finally! All the signs are there. Last year we went full turbo on big tails so we can only hope that maybe things are heating up!
Still…other species did more than make up for everything else. Pargo appear to be ready to rip and the schools are getting thicker. They’re up in the shallows already in the same spots we’re seeing cabrilla, snapper and breezing schools of sierra. Not sure if the roosterfish are still in. We’ve been hitting the roosters the last few weeks bit didn’t get any this week but that could also be a function of the fact that no one wanted to fish for them!
I will tell ya that it was unseasonably warm this past week. Temperatures were in the low 80’s, but the winds were still a mess. It was windy enough earlier in the week for them to issue small craft warnings out of La Paz Bay. That time of year. But that’s why we’re doing all our fishing out of Muertos to stay on the lee side of things.
Whales are still packing them in at Lopez Mateos at Magdalena Bay. Our whale watchers are seeing lots of the whales now as we move into the height of the whale watching season there in the shallow lagoon waters. They’ll be around for about a month more.
Thanks to all the amigos who came to see us this past week at the Northwest Sportsman’s Expo at the Portland Expo Center in Oregon. It was five great days in the booth and the show was packed! No snow and no rain for once and Portlanders were great hosts. I’ll be in La Paz the rest of the month then back in the states for the International Sportsman’s Show in Phoenix, Arizona at Cardinal Stadium…actually in Glendale. It’s our first appearance in the Phoenix area in a number of years and hope to see many of you there.
