LA PAZ FISHING VACATION

I don’t often get more than a small window to go on vacation each year and was worried about fishing in March as I have only fished La Paz in the summer months and always been told that those were the only good fishing months. I arrived in La Paz at the end of March not really knowing what to expect. I had booked two days of fishing with The Mosquito Fleet as I have been fishing with them for more than 10 years now and they have always taken good care of my friends and me.
For my first day we were taken out to El Bajo an area famous for catching Yellow Tail during the season. We had a pretty good southerly wind that got us out there in good time and within 15 minutes we were both hooked up to what seemed to be monsters. We were both using scrambled egg colored yoyos and landed one 25 pound fish and an astonishing 38-pound beauty of a Yellow Tail. I was now exhausted but convinced I had picked the right time to come to La Paz. We hooked up to another 5 fish that morning before telling our excellent captain “Pancho” to return back to the dock, as we were more than happy with the day’s catch.
For our second day we wanted to bottom fish for Snapper and Sea bass, but were once again shocked by the quality and consistency of the fishing for the time of year. The action was thick and fast all day and when we returned to the dock we had our fish barbequed up for us at no charge! What a day!
