I got this in the sea of Cortez. It’s a gulf grouper, they get much bigger on the Pacific side but are not very common on the Cortez side. I still plan to dive the Pacific to get at least of the 90 pounders. I stoned it at 24 meters. It was fleeing from me… Read More »
White sea bass is the most prized fish of California. You can get some in the northern parts of Baja but it is rarely found south of Guerrero Negro. Normally we shoot corvina (extremely similar to white sea bass) and that’s what I thought I had shot but the local white sea bass experts told… Read More »
Je viens d’apprendre que je ne peux plus retourner au Canada! Ca tombe bien, je n’étais pas chaud à l’idée des couvre-feux et de l’interdiction de voyager. 🤣 A Baja, la vie normale suit son cour. Évidemment il y a des cas de covid mais personne ne panique. À La Paz, où je suis, ce… Read More »
Shot this yellowtail at 23 meters near La Paz. I was fishing with my 130 with two bands and a 7.5 mm tahitian shaft. After landing this fish I started using a slip tip. Given the power of those monsters, I didn’t trust my ability to always get a good shot. It took forever to… Read More »
So I was aiming for yellowtails. Since I had shot a 45 pounder recently, I used a slip tip on my 150 cm with 3 * 16 mm bands at 3.5 (very stiff considering the lenght). The shaft was a 7.5mm and the slip tip was a Spear Master (so was the shaft, I love… Read More »
On january 2 the wind calmed down a little around La Paz. The only waves were confused remnants of the previous days. It was nice to paddle without constantly looking out for the next breaking wave that meant to take me out. The sun and comfortable seas did not mean the visibility had to be… Read More »
In November, Fishing has been less than optimal in La Paz. Intense rains and winds have affected the visibility. It’s not been impossible to get good fish, but I haven’t crossed easy prey. The good stuff stayed below 23 meters and the larger fish under 25m… maybe the cold had something to do with it.… Read More »
Sand whipped my legs as I got out of the car. The furious wind had kept all fishing boats out of the water. It was the first time I had ever seen the ramp empty. The water was covered with foam and spray… these were good conditions for kayak diving and the most secure I… Read More »
Whenever I don’t have a cold it seems that every sick person feels cheated and will jump at any opportunity to swipe some of their snot on my food or face… This is no paranoia. The legions were out to get me! The lady at the bakery that coughed all over my food and used… Read More »
The last two weeks were a transition period according to the locals. There were very few fish. I was lucky to shoot a wahoo and some pan fish. Three days ago, the water cleared up quite a bit, the temperature must have changed but my watch still said 21C. That day, I saw groupers and… Read More »
