PHOTO 1: Not bad for a beginner. Anglers come for years to try to land one of these beauties, but Vanessa Cannon from Utah got this nice roosterfish, but it was her first fish on her first day fishing…ever! Captain Jorge mugs with Vanessa. Note the calmness of the water just a few yards off the beach at Muertos Bay.
PHOTO 2: Next stop…the BIG SHOW! Long Beach Convention Center for the Fred Hall Fishing and Boating Show. We are leaving a great show in Phoenix, our 6th show of the Tailhunter Tour and now headed to Long Beach where we’ll be in our regular booth spot on tackle row next to Calstar rods, Izorline and our pal, Ed Robison at Whopper Stopper Rods. The show goes Wednesday to Sunday at the Long Beach Convention Center.
La Paz/Las Arenas Fishing Report for Week of Feb,. 21-28, 2010
A pretty interesting week down here. The weather is more typical of this time of year. One day it can be extremely windy and the next flat and calm. Still, just to be on the safe side and more for the comfort of our anglers, we’re doing the majority of our fishing out of Muertos Bay where the fishing areas are more protected and we can still get quality fish without having to go too far.
The yellowtail really haven’t shown up yet to make any fuss about, but there’s all the sierra you could possibly want most days. As well, we’re still getting into the roosters. Vanessa Cannon from Utah got her first salt water fish this past week and it happened to be a 30 pound roosterfish! Plus, when her husband Paul was still baiting up, a striped marlin swam by and gulped her little sardine resulting in complete pandemonium for about 3 or 4 minutes until the fish broke off! But a great start to a fishing day.
But, as an additional surprise, we also got into dorado. That’s right. Maybe it’s El Nino, but we don’t see these fish until later in the year, but we got a number of run school-sized dorado not far off Muertos. All the fish ate live bait and ran 8-15 pounds. Nothing huge, but a great bonus and certainly, no one complained!
In addition to the roosters and sierra, the pargo are still up in the rocks and they’re surely biting, but we’re losing more than we’re putting in the pangas. For other species, cabrilla are in the same areas up to about 5 pounds and there’s also bonito just where the drop offs occur. We saw a few schools of tuna surprisingly pop up, but the fish were moving too fast to get on them.
LONG BEACH SHOW COMING UP MARCH 3-7 LONG BEACH CONVENTION CENTER
Well, we’ve put 5 shows under our belts on the 2010 tour…Denver, San Mateo, Sacramento, Puyallup (Washington), Portland and now we’re just finished Phoenix where we had an outstanding show at the University of Phoenix Football Stadium where the NFL Cardinals play. So, now…here we come…the Fred Hall Fishing and Boating Show at the Long Beach Convention Center. This is the big crazy one! Our booth will be in it’s usual spot on tackle row smack in the middle of the main hall next to Izorline and Calstar rods. Come see us and say hi and lock in your La Paz fishing trip for 2010.
That’s our story!
