La Paz is the Gateway to the Sea of Cortez. Itâs on the east shore of the Baja California peninsula. Jacques Cousteau dubbed the Sea of Cortez âThe Worldâs Aquarium.â It contains one of the most complete ecosystems on the planet. The area has snorkeling, diving, kayaking, golf, fishing, sailing, camping and mountain biking.
La Paz for us means fishing. Here we have some of the best fishing in the world. We have many kinds of fish, and fishing is always good.
January to March is the best time for yellowtail. From March to May, it is one of the best places in the world for the mullet snapper. May through July brings in one of my favorites, the all-mighty roosterfish. Also, the bigger dorado are here, and a few striped marlin show up this time of year.
From July to August, the big striped marlin are in, and sailfish, dorado and a few blue marlin start to show up. Everything is happening from August to October: tuna, sailfish, striped marlin, blue marlin, black marlin, roosterfish and wahoo. It is hot but worth the sweat.
Things begin to slow down November through December. There are still fish, but donât expect big numbers.
La Paz is great place to fish. You are in the middle of the state, and whichever way you turn offers some of the best fishing in the world. Three hours to the north, you are in Mag Bay, which is known for its wahoo fishing. An hour to the south, you are at East Cape, which boasts awesome roosterfish fishing. Keep on going south for another hour, and you are in the marlin capital of the world. So if you looking for a place to fish and enjoy, La Paz is the place you want to come.
