PHOTO 1: Mitch Chavira and his 11-year-old son, Cole from the San Diego area never fail to do well when they fish La Paz. They say it's better to be lucky and good but these two have both going for them and often put fish on board when everyone is just scratching around. Cole especially has often set the waters on fire. This past week when alot of other anglers were hiding from the winds, these two were out at El Bajo knocking out yellowtail on bait and iron. Check out some of these nice fat yellowtail.
PHOTO 2: Mitch Chavira with another fat forktail for the box. There's more details below in our report, but Mitch said the wind was really kicking most days, but one day it just laid down flat and was epic.
PHOTO 3: Just one more day on the water. Cole and Mitch with another triple on yellowtail. They lost several others and also released other fish as well.DID YOU SAY DORADO IN MARCH? BIG YELLOWTAIL TOO FOR LAS ARENAS AND LA PAZ BOATS IN BETWEEN WINDS
La Paz/ Las Arenas Fishing Report for week of March 1-8, 2009
What a crazy week. I wouldn't say it was fantastic fishing, but there were some fantastic bites here and there as things certainl warmed up on the waters!

Big yellowtail were in the counts again with 20-30 pound fish rolling around not too far out of Muertos Bay and Punta Perico. But we are supposed to be catching yellowtail right now. It's that time of the year. We get yellowtail this time of year. But, here's the surprise...in that same area schools of dorado showed up! That's right. Dorado are normally warm water fish. However, schools of punky 8-15 pound fish came up to bite. That could only mean that there's some fingers of warm water moving around. These fish were hungry and ready to bite! We normally do not see these fish until at least late April or May. We'll keep you posted! There were also some reliable reports of dorado just outside at the buoys as well!! What's up with that? No one is complaining!
Another nice surprise was that north of town, despite strong winds we're finally seeing some activity as well. If you can brave the rough water and breezes, there are some good windows of opportunity finally opening up. San Diego residents, Mitch Chavira and his 11-year-old-son, Cole, who have successfully fished La Paz for many years got into some great yellowtail fishing especially at the El Bajo Seamount using bait and iron. According to Mitch:
"We had to work hard to get fish as the wind was blowing and had the bite pretty shut down. We did get fish every day and our last day at El Bajo was epic as the wind finally laid off. They really wanted the iron! One guy had to stay dedicated to the yo yo which got em going and allowed us to get em with surface iron and bait as well. We boated three, released a couple at the gaff and lost a few to the rocks. It was a hoot! Man they pull so much harder in the deeper water! We had our drags buttoned all the way down. Cole now 11 yrs old was really man handling these fish! Made the ol man proud."
Just before posting this, we got more reports of a jag of big pargo that came up on the east side of the island! These were the nice dogtooth and mullet snapper with fish up to 40 pounds. They came. The ravaged. They went down! Wow....things are perking up!!!
