This past week was much more characteristic of December fishing. We had a little wind. A little breeze, especially late in the day. Waters are turning cooler and so is the air temp, but the sun has been out all week and it's a pleasant time to be in town. Not many folks are in town now so you have the waters and the town pretty much to yourselves.

For the fishing, it seemed like it was different from day-to-day and panga to panga. All of our fishing right now, is pretty much with our Las Arenas fleet, because the waters out of La Paz are more subject to the rougher waters and also greener waters not conducive to very good fishing.

But, for the bite, we're still getting some nice wahoo...some billfish...and dorado. Plus rooster fish seem to pop up ever few days as well. The problem now is that it's not consistent. I tell folks there's a big difference every day. If the blue water fish aren't biting then the inshore fish like sierra, pargo and cabrilla be come the target or, if the waters are bouncy or rough, there's just no way to go too far out and you're relegated to staying closer inshore fishing structure fish like the species mentioned.

The rub is that it's hard to tell which fish will bite when. We do keep an eye on the winds and generally speaking if the winds are blowing from the north, then we're gonna be fishing inshore and there's not too much chance of blue water species. However, that being said, we DID hook a striped marlin this week less than 50 yards from shore in only about 30 feet of water and some of the dorado we hooked this week were close to shore as well!


That's our story! Hope your holidays and Christmas season are off to a good start!
