Tortuga SportFishing

Dos Hernandez of Tortuga Sportfishing said fishing on the Las Arenas side south of La Paz was made difficult by north winds, but action for pargo lisa was fairly good in sheltered waters close to Punta Perico as schools of the snappers were seen. "This fishing is a little difficult since they go straight down to the bottom where there are a lot of rocks," Hernandez said. "They aren't very far from the beach." Commercial Mexican fishermen continued to bring in good catches of sierra from the area north of Las Arenas and off the south end of Isla Cerralvo. "We hope fishing conditions in the next few days will allow us to get to different areas to see what we can catch," Hernandez said.
