In a surprising bite the last few weeks, trophy roosterfish have shown up around the Las Arenas lighthouse which has been a real bonus to many of our anglers like Dan Hicks, pictured above our amigo from Seattle WA, who never expected to get a roosterfish this week, let alone a huge 50-60 pounder that he caught and released! Normally, we don't see roosterfish this time of year, but lots of our anglers are finding the exotic fish lately.

You can never start them too young and Damon Davis Photo #1, is the perfect dad to show his 5-year-old son, Caleb, how to do it, since Damon runs a sportfishing boat in Orange Co. CA and his dad is our amigo, James "Hawk" Davis an avid ace fisherman who lives in La Ventana near La Paz. Damon was out fishing near Las Arenas this past week and is shown on the beach with Caleb at Bahia de Los Muertos.

Marlin and sailfishing has been unusually good the past few weeks and it seems we hook several a day. About 90% are getting released or busting off...not surprising since we're often fishing wit light tackle, but they're still great fun. Leo Green, Photo @2 from Washington got this striper while fishing with Captain Jorge of our Tailhunter Las Arenas fleet. The fish couldn't be released but the meat was donated.

Good week for kids! And a great time for the family with all the school-sized dorado around right now. Clint Throop, Photo #3 from Rockford Michigan wit his boy...6-year-old Christian pose with this fresh dorado fishing near Las Arenas. Another great Kodak moment that I'm sure Christian will always remember . (Thanks for the photo, Hawk!)

Ed Hicks and Tiffany Isaacson, Photo #4 were on their first trip fishing with us in La Paz. Tiffany wasn't even sure she wanted to go fishing, let alone go to Mexico, but she's convinced now. After a week of dorado fishing, she also got this nice sailfish off Cerralvo Island. Most of the meat was donated after it was not able to be released. Tiffany and Ed are from Washington.

From Oregon, Miles Brown Photo #5, visits us every other year-or-so and always does well fishing with his dad, Rod. He shows off one of the school-sized dorado they caught off Cerralvo Island.
