April 2018
April started with a windy
beginning. Sunday and Monday were a little
choppy Results were still very good. Paul Brown
was able to coax up a 50# Caberra Snapper along
with 8 Yellow fin tuna from 40 - 80 Lbs. The
Fishing guides from Elfin Cove were also
out scoring big on Yellow fin Tuna, Yellow tail
and Medium Dorado up to 15#'s.Water temps
are normal for this time of year 72 degrees.
Bait has been a blessing with lots of sardines
available and Spanish mackerel available for the
Yellow tail. With flat water who knows what they
will bring back in the next few days keep tuned
in and as always tight lines Baja Pirates
Greg, Blain and Scott went out and hit it big on Caqberra Snappers, together they landed three of the big fish weighing 45 plus pounds each.
The Yellowfin tuna bite continues to be steady in
the 2nd week of April ranging from 45# to 60 #
and are making it to the docks daily. We had a
visit from a Killer Whale pod but even that did
not slow down the tuna bite. Water temps are
holding steady 70- 74 degrees. Wind is a little
breezy in the early morning laying down by 10am
.Roosters are starting to show near Techolote
beach. Lots of small to mid range Dorado.
Billfish starting to be seen jumping chasing
bait. We landed and released or first Sailfish
of the year Big Red Caberra Snappers are showing
up daily 45- 50 # Cabrilla and many
different types of Snappers are being caught on
the daily catch
Below Vicky Tendale, Guy Springman and Sasha Mord show off their catch of tuna and dorado.
The group of friends from Kelly Short Outdoors come down again this year and scored big on tuna on their first day of fishing. Tommy won the jackpot with his 50lb. catch.
The tuna bite continues! Sean Jackson landed the "Catch of the Day" with his 50# tuna and in doing so won the daily jackpot. Nice going Sean.
04/20/18 We
had an unseasonable high wind over the weekend with
winds reaching 30 knots from the northwest. The
Harbormaster closed the harbor Saturday and opened
it back on Sunday. We generally have very little
wind in this time but it took about 5 days to get
everything back to normal.
Yellowfin tuna up to 50 # are
again the normal. Yellowtail are also in the mix.
Plenty of Cabrilla, and other grouper and Snappers
are again showing up on the docks. Dorados are
starting to get some size to them with 12-15 #'s
starting to show. May brings in the Roosterfish. We
are expecting a great Rooster season with the bait
still locked up in La Paz.
Peter Reel and John Bled show everyone that the tuna and the yellowtail are still biting in this photo.
Tim and Gail hit it big today and put some hurt on their coolers
