Gerardo Hernandez of Tortuga Sportfishing at La Paz said summer-like weather prevailed on the south side of the hill last week as his Ensenada de los Muertos pangas fished in air temperatures in the 90 with good humidity and some days with wind. Pangas fishing at Isla Cerralvo caught pargo mulato or barred pargo, pargo lisa or mullet snapper, pargo perro or dog snapper, cabrilla, and some amberjack. Around Punta Perico on the nearby Baja coast, Tortuga boats scored on pompano, and at the buoys, striped marlin, sailfish, and some dorado were caught. "We've been fishing with Rapalas sometimes," Hernandez said, "and they have been working for those fishermen coming here to La Paz." But we also have a good supply of live bait and that has also been working as always. Bottom fishing has been excellent the last few days."
