ANGLERS FISHING MAINLY FOR INSHORE SPECIES

May 8, 2005, Jonathan Roldan, Tailhunter International, La Paz, Mexico Fishing:

This was a week of fishing at La Paz where there was some nice pargo around Las Arenas, but it seems a lot of my anglers were getting so frustrated fishing for these tough fish and breaking off so many that many elected to switch to fishing the La Paz side instead.

There were a few dorado and we're sure seeing a lot more marlin, but mostly the billfish still don't seem like they want to go into "chew mode" yet. However, inshore La Paz fishing for the big roosterfish, cabrilla and snapper kept rods bent and most anglers happy.
