WINDS CALM BUT FISHING TAKES IT'S TIME COMING BACK ONTRACK!

La Paz Las Arenas Fishing Report for March 11, 2007

PHOTOS: As the waters warm, we're starting to see more marlin and billfish around La Paz but the water is probably still a tad chilly and the fish are not quite ready to chew. Anyway, the action is a little different down south of us. I didn't have any decent La Paz photos for you this week, but wanted to share these photos from Cabo San Lucas instead which is about 100 miles to the south of us in La Paz. Our Amigo Dan Shore and his friend Bob Capp (celebrating his 50th birthday) went out fishing with our friends at the Cabo Magic Fleet this week. Fishing wasn't real great but they hooked a nice striped marlin. Bob's son, Biagio gamely took the rod. The 9-year-old stayed in the chair the whole time and fought the fish from start to finish refusing to hand off. Even more noteworthy...the young man released the fish! Cheers, Bagio!

THE FISHING REPORT

Earlier in the week, it was simply too windy to get out but that cleared up to 80 degree skies as the week progressed. However, fishing didn't exactly climb back on track, but it's hard to know because there weren't that many anglers. A few yellowtail and sierra, but mostly it was a bonito and skipjack bite this week. We did have one group that was intent on catching yellow snapper and there's and abundance of those great eating fish pretty much around any structure. On light tackle they're great and willing to hit the baits. Alot of the commericial fishermen like them because and get top dollar for them from the markets and restuarants because they are "plate sized" and fit neatly in a pot, pan or plate.

We have a lot of snowbirds in town just content to soak up a bit of sunshine and not to interested in being on the fishing grounds. Our whale watching trips to Magdalena Bay have been really good.

HEADS UP ON PASSPORT PHOTOS

We're in the states right now and saw that Costco has passport photos for about 5 bucks. Walgreens also has a special on passport photos as well. Don't delay. If you're coming down to Baja this year, it's taking at least 2 months to get your passports.

TAILHUNTER NEXT STOP

We're on the road again. We're leaving the coast in Long Beach CA and driving inland once again and will be at the Salt Lake City International Sportsmen's Expo in Sandy, Utah from March 15 to 18 (Thursday to Sunday). If you're around, please stop on by!

That's my story. Have a great week!
