PHOTO 1: Here it comes! It's getting angry out there...Hurricane Jimena starts to roll into Baja.

PHOTO 2: I don't have photos of La Paz during the hurricane because there was nothing really to take pictures of...moving palm fronds? Puddles of water? This, on the other hand, is Cabo San Lucas which dodged a bullet ,but still got some heavy winds and rains as well as big surf since it faces the open ocean, unlike La Paz.
Thanks to Bil Pulford for the photos.

PHOTO 3: Dave Duenas from Rialto CA took time off from his police work and got in some good fishing for dorado before the storm hit. He got this nice bull fishing north of La Paz with our Tailhunter Fleet.

PHOTO 4: Two of our best amigos who visit us yearly, Steve Huth and Billie Nash from the Glendora area new Los Angeles CA hold up an excellent "variety" of fish they caught earlier in the week fishing with our Tailhunter Las ARenas fleet. Steve holds up a barred pargo and roosterfish (the smaller ones taste pretty good). Billie hangs onto a handful of dorado and a pompano.

PHOTO 5: Sunny Chung from Santa Clarita CA is also a police officer and got into a really nice snap of dorado fishing with our Captain Chito with our La Paz fleet. Before the storm, the dorado bite had just started to pick up.

PHOTO 6: Eileen Dann from Los Angeles got a nice batch of dorado and here holds up a prized barred pargo mulatto.

FISHING INTERRUPTED BY HURRICANE JIMENA ALTHOUGH LA PAZ ESCAPES SERIOUS DAMAGE

La Paz / Las Arenas Fishing Report for week of Aug. 30 to Sept. 5, 2009

Not much to show you in the way of fishing this week. We spent most of the week in lockdown as Hurricane Jimena ran towards us with Category 4 written all over it. We taped windows, hoarded water and flashlight batteries and sandbagged our building and got ready to get slammed. And at the last minute it veered north of us and thankfully, hit us with only about 2 ½ days of intermittent rain and some strong winds doing little damage and only localized flooding. I think we dodged a big bullet! But, it also kept us off the water for 3 days.

Prior to the storm, the dorado bite had picked up nicely and I’m anticipating that once the water settles the dorado will come back strong given all the junk that gets washed into the ocean from storms. At the time of writing, we’ve been back on the water for two days and the waters are still a bit turned over and murky. It’s gonna take a bit for it to settle down and clear up because there’s still some residual chop. However, we did find some dorado up to about 20 pounds and normally that gets better assuming no other fronts come through. Looking at the forecasts, it looks like great conditions on tap.

That’s our story!
Jonathan and Jill
