We fared much better with our La Paz fleet this week. And the big difference...LIVE BAIT! We had caballitos, big sardines and, and mackerel. And that makes all the difference in the world.


Working the island as well as around the corner around El Rosario, Las Cruces and Punta Gorda some nice quietly 20-40 pound dorado were common. There weren't many of them, but each panga was getting 4-6 of the nicer sized ones and throwing back many smaller. The big ticket is letting the fish "eat" the bait and waiting until it really has the bait down it's throat. The baits are bigger than we normally have so give the fish time to really chew-down on the bait before setting the hook. So many fish were lost because anxious anglers pulled the trigger too fast and the bait right out've the fish's mouths!
