April 15, 2026 - La Paz Fishing Report – Baja Pirates
Fishing in La Paz is off to a solid start this spring for the Baja Pirates fleet. While it hasn’t been wide open, our guests have stayed busy with consistent action and an impressive variety of species hitting the decks. Yellowtail fishing has been a bit tougher than usual this season, though anglers are still managing to pick away at a few quality fish. In the meantime, grouper and snapper have really stepped up, keeping rods bent with some great-sized fish coming over the rail.
We’re also seeing a nice mix of dorado, roosterfish, triggerfish, and amberjack in the counts, adding to the excitement and variety that makes springtime fishing in La Paz so special. One of the standout catches so far was a beautiful 42-pound amberjack landed by Manny Chumacero of Southern California—definitely a fish to remember!
Spring is one of the best times of year to fish La Paz, offering comfortable weather and a wide range of species to target. If this early action is any indication, it’s shaping up to be another great season on the water with Baja Pirates.
