Two weeks ago, we were standing in the water surveying the rubble and destruction for the biggest hurricane ever to hit Baja. Two weeks later...WE'RE ON THE COMEBACK! We're digging out with remarkable speed!


Frankly, there hasn't been alot of fishing going on since the hurricane. All the tourists have pretty much been evacuated or, there's no way to fly in, or hotels have been damaged or without services so trips have been canceled. Local residents or expats aren't fishing either as everyone struggles to get back on keel with larger things to worry about like food, water, gas and their homes and jobs.


However, we've had a few boats out here and there. Weather has still been erratic. Nothing bad, but there have been some lingering intermittent rain cells that have moved through the area that has also kept us off the water or winds strong enough where it was better just not to put out any boats.


As might be expected, the further we get away from the hurricane, the better the water conditions. Given that we just had the biggest hurricane in Baja history, it's not surprising that the waters were very overturned dirty and green. Lots of debris in the water too.


The first few days, there were a few small dorado around. Some sierra and bonito as well.


Within a few days, we were seeing more dorado, but they seemed interested, but wary. Very hesitant to take a bait or lure.


By the end of this week, the fish were back on the chew. We had limits or near limits of dorado including some nice bulls in the 20-30 pound class as well as bonito, cabrilla, jack crevalle and a few small rooster fish.


For everyone who sent well wishes and support phone calls and e-mails, we much appreciated it. We're digging out and like everyone else, trying to manage and pull back together. The storm has been pretty devastating. On many levels.


The La Paz Airport is back in operation. Tourists are gone, but the hotels are jammed full with more than 20,000 escapees from Cabo San Lucas.
