Gerardo Hernandez of Tortuga Sportfishing said La Paz fishing area weather on the Las Arenas side was cooler in the 70s, with calm seas and no wind. "The winter season is coming," Hernandez said. "There are few anglers at La Paz right now."

Panga outings around Punta Perico produced dorado of 20 to 30 pounds, and boats running out to Isla Cerralvo when winds permitted found yellowfin tuna to about 30 pounds.

Mexican commercial pangas fishing at Isla Cerralvo caught mainly huachinango.
