"We got another surprise storm this week with Tropical Storm Lorena suddenly rearing up and dropping some wind and rain on us," said the weekly report from Jonathan Roldan September 8. "This is the 3rd week that we've gotten a surprise shower or two.

"However, like the other weeks, it didn't bother the fishing! The fish don't mind getting wet and here in La Paz, it wasn't that bad. The rains mostly showed up at night and, although it rained hard here and there, the rain was mostly gone by daytime. The biggest factor is wind when these storms hit and as long as the winds aren't tossing the waves around and it's safe to get out, we're still out there fishing, although we know of several operations that canceled their boats. That being said, the fish continued to check quite nicely!

"Both our Tailhunter Las Arenas Fleet and our Tailhunter La Paz fleet did mostly limits of dorado each day. If I had to tell you what the difference was, in La Paz, there were much more fish. They were eager and the fish were almost right in La Paz Bay. We didn't have to go very far. This was great, especially on those days when cloudbursts threatened. So, everyone got fish!

"At Las Arenas, the fish weren't as plentiful, although fishing was good. But the fish were generally larger than the fish at La Paz.

"So, if you wanted fast and furious action with double and triple hookups, our La Paz fleet was better If you were out to maybe get larger dorado, then our Las Arenas fleet was the better choice. Since most of our clients fish a few days on each side, everyone was able to pack their ice chests with filets!

"In addtion to dorado there were again some nice wahoo hooked although many were lost. Often, the wahoo showed up right where the dorado were feeding and made short work of light live bait lines! However, a few were hooked "just right" on the light tackle and made it to the pangas with much high-fiving and knuckle-bumping!

As well, we stuck a few marlin and sailfish with most of them getting released plus rooster fish, jack crevalle and some huge bonito!

"The surprise fish were the pargo that we were hooking including some big dog-tooth snapper and mullet snapper that we usually only see in the spring, plus also some sierra which are really rare this time of year since we only get those during the cooler months. That leads me to believe waters might be cooling already for the season. We'll keep you posted!"
