Fall has settled in around Mag Bay, and you can feel it first thing in the morning—cold air, a little fog, and that damp coastal chill that comes with the season change. Even with the cooler weather, the fishing overall has stayed solid.
Offshore, the marlin are here in strong numbers, but this past week they just haven’t wanted to eat quite as well. There’s no shortage of fish—plenty of life out there—but the bite has been a bit selective, with some days feeling like work and others turning on with great action when the fish decide to cooperate. We’re still seeing a few wahoo mixed in, and the occasional dorado is showing up, though not in big numbers.
Inshore, there are still a few roosterfish around, especially when the afternoons warm up.
Back in the mangroves, the fishing has been very consistent and one of the bright spots this week. Anglers are finding strong action for groupers, snook, corvina, golden trevally, and various snappers while working the channels and deeper pockets. It’s been a great option on the days when the offshore fish get stubborn.
Overall, the fish are here and the opportunities are good—it’s just been one of those weeks where they didn’t always want to eat. Classic fall fishing in Magdalena Bay.
