PHOTO 1: Starting the new day into a sunrise as we make bait. Just too nice of a photo to pass up. Also, an opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Father’s Day to start out the fishing report!
PHOTO 2: It’s upside down but it doesn’t diminish the great-looking dorado caught by our “Mai Tai” Queen, Amy Mann from Oregon (she has discoverd the joys of dorado as well as mixing fruit juices and Captain Morgan rum). He’s not Captain Morgan, but he’s a great captain but no for drinking…Capt. Archangel lends a hand with the gaff. The fish was caught fishing with our Tailhunter Las Arenas fleet. That’s Cerralvo Island in the background.
PHOTO 3: All the way from Virginia, my pirate brother, John Benson, fished out towards Cerralvo Island off Las Arenas and hooked onto this 40 pound class dorado they fought for 30 minutes. They also hooked a striped marlin as well. Both fish were picked up on live bait.
PHOTO 4: Vanessa Luciano from Canada builds websites. Charles Belnavis is one of the most awesome tatoo artists around http://www.tatoosbycharles.com/ and one of the original members of our “Team Modelo” boys that started out with us way way back in the day. The two team to hold up nice fat bull dorado that ended up in garlic and butter that night!
PHOTO 5: Inshore fishing is getting largely ignored because of the great dorado bite, but inshore fish like this tasty barred pargo held by Alan Beilstein from San Diego are still in the shallows along with roosterfish, pargo, jacks, pompano and sierra too. That’s Las Arenas Beach about 20 yards behind Alan.
PHOTO 6: Devon Morse just finished his freshman year in high school and dad, Joe Morse, brought him do La Paz for the first time to catch a few fish. They hit into the dorado nicely and show off one of their bulls they caught fishing with our Tailhunter La Paz Fleet between Cerralvo and Espiritu Santo Island.
PHOTO 7: Happy folks! All from the Northern Cal area…Janine and Roy Stenzel and Kevin Bradley and Mark Jacobs pose at Balandra beach with two of a number of dorado they hooked while fishing with us just north of La Paz. For Kevin and Mark, it was their first time out! DORADO PUT ON A SHOW THIS WEEK AS ANGLERS GET MULTI-HOOK STOPS!
If you were looking for dorado this week that was the predominantly hot biter this week for both our Tailhunter Las Arenas and Tailhunter La Paz fleets. There were bunches of fish as well as scattered fish under patches or areas of sargasso weed or under any floating structure such as buoys or floating debris. Sometimes, the best way to get them would be trolling feathers, but also slowly dragging a nice messy slab of bonito generated some viscious strikes from big bulls…or marlin which are also in the area eating bait as well as the smaller dorado.
Other species include roosterfish still along a lot of the beach areas and in the rocky areas, cabrilla, pargo and amberjack have been the predominant species…not to mention, too many needlefish! Live bait is working the best on pretty much everything, but if you want to play, throw plastics and retrieve slowly. Also shiny spoons working as well.
