Report Description:
April 30, 2008
Changeable conditions still exist in Ixtapa Zihautanejo as the spring turnover to warmer water conditions just does not want to set up. This has resulted in inconsistent days with some days providing good action while the very next day is void of any. It remains a puzzling situation. On the better days our captains are reporting 2 - 4 Shots at Sailfish with some Dorado Mixed in as well. Inshore Captain Adolofo reports wide open action on big Spanish mackerel up at Las Saladitas. Good Yellowtail Jack and small Roosterfish have also been present. Very few Marlin and No Yellowfin Tuna have been reported last week. Tomorrow Starts the Annual Billfish tournament and with an expected field of 100 + boats we should ge t a good idea of the the bite when the tournament ends on Sunday.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather: Sunny most days with a bitr of coulds starting to show up.
Sea Conditions: Calm
Bait Supply: Good

Report Description:
April 2, 2008
Dramatically improved sea conditions along with a slight warming of the ocean temperatures brought in a more consistent offshore bite. Leading the way once again was captain Chiro on the Bloody Hook reporting a 300 Lb. Black Marlin along with 16 Sailfish and 1 monster Dorado for 5 days offshore. Captain Adolofo on the Dos Hermanos 1 reported 2 Sailfish , 8 big Spanish Mackerel and a handful of Bonitos in 2 days of fishing. Partner Captain Cheva on the Dos Hermanos 2 reported 2 Blue Marlin in the 150 - 160 Lb range along with 3 Sails. Captain Temo on the Secuestro reported 3 Sailfish and 1 Dorado in 3 offshore days. The blue water has moved to within the 5 mile mark and most of the better action is occurring just beyond that mark. Our captains are reporting that the fish are much more aggressive as the ocean temperatures become more favorable.

Report Description:
FEBRUARY 27, 2008
Cold green water continues to put a damper on the fishing in Ixxtapa Zihuatanejo. The offshore fishing has been hit and miss with Billfish counts falling way off. Captain Jose on the La Bamba reported a 2 Dorado day while the Vamonos 2 reported 1 SAILFISH and 3 Dorado in three offshore days. Captain Chiro on the Bloody Hook after coming off a respectable week posting 7 SAILFISH and 8 DORADO reported very slow action as far south as Puerto Vincentee Guerrero where he landed a single Dorado in 1 offshore day. Captain Temo on the Secuestro reported 1 Sailfish, 5 Spanish Mackerel, 5 Yellowtail jacks and Several Bonito in 5 days. Captain Adolofo on the Dos Hermanos turned his attention to inshore finding good numbers of small ( 10 - 15 Lb) Roosterfish north to Saladitas. The fish were aggressively taking MEGABAIT jigs. Captain Adolofo's single best day was a 14 Count on Roosterfish. There also continues to be some Chulas around the offshore rock which is a sure sign that the waters continues to cool down. Several Blue Marlin were reported last week but anglers are searching long distance and putting in long hours to find several fish. No reports of the big yellowfin Tuna as of this date.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather: Cool mornings followed by beautiful days
Sea Conditions: Calm

Report Description:
NOVEMBER 16, 2007
A dramatic turn around in water temperature and sea conditions brought the return of good offshore and inshore action last week in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo. Captain Adolofo on the Dos Hermanos 1 reported 5 ROOSTERFISH, 64 YELLOWTAIL JACKS, 8 SPANISH MACKEREL, 3 SAILFISH and 2 DORADO in 6 days of fishing with French Client Mr. Senouf. Captain Cheva on the Dos Hermanos 2 reported a 2 SAILFISH day. Captain Temo Verboonen on the Secuestro reported 4 ROOSTERFISH and 4 DORADO in 2 days of fishing and Captain Candelerio on the Leydy reported 4 SAILFISH in 2 offshore days. The captain reported big numbers of baitfish all around the area and the blue warm water has moved within 5 miles of the bay. Calmer inshore water also allowed the captain to fish the more productive areas for Roosterfish and Jacks. With the prediction of more seasonable weather in the weeks ahead we hopeful for a great start to this year’s fall season.

Report Description:
OCTOBER 18, 2007
Stormy conditions and light angler activity was reported last week in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo. Returning angler, Mary Peachin, who landed 13 Roosterfish in one day with Captain Adolofo took no mercy on the inshore game fish as she followed up her first day performance by landing 20 Roosterfish on her second day. This was the highest single Roosterfish day reported by Captain Adolofo. Most of the action took place south of Petitland beach. Captain Adolfo returned to the same are the very next day only to find one small roosterfish will to strike. Large numbers of Bonito are being reported all along the coast. Offshore a single Striped Marlin of 40 lbs was reported as was a single 200 Lb Blue Marlin. The sailfish continue to be absent and the offshore action is being dominated by Dorado. Captain Jamie on the 35’ Bertram Orion reported landing 2 nice Dorado for angler Mr. Briche. The Blue water remains close but rough sea conditions and unsettled weather made for difficult fishing conditions.

Report Description:
September 21, 2008
Although weather improved dramatically last week, very little angling activity was reported. Those few boats which went offshore reported a good Dorado Bite with averages between 6 - 7 fish per day and the size remains good -- in the 25 - 40 lb class. The Sailfish activity slowed as the on-again off-again pattern continues to be the norm for this season. Inshore, the mountain rains have swelled the rivers bringing in brown water which have been pushed all along the coast. This condition has all but shut down the inshore fishing for last week.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather: Humid with temps in the 90’s
Sea Conditions: Calm to moderate
Bait Supply: Good

Stan Lushinsky

Report Description:
Early in the week, the blue marlin continued their very unusual showing this summer. We are averaging about 3 to 4 hooked blues a day for the 10 boat fleet. Sailfish are doing well also, with a two to three fish per boat average.
Tuesday was my son's 13th birthday and went out with Captain Cali to try for the 50 to 80 pound yellowfin tuna, which have been active at the 1,000 fathom line (30 miles). We started trolling at 16 miles and were hooked up within 5 minutes. I had set out a 40 pound outfit for tuna and dorado, and an 80 pound outfit for marlin. Wouldn't you know it, the blue hit the 40 pound outfit? Happens every time.
Fortunately the blue was small and a little over an hour later my son, Ken, had the estimate 200 pound marlin released.
From 5:00 in the evening Wednesday until 5:00 in the evening on Thursday, we got rain. Seven and a half inches of rain! It was the remnants of hurricane Dean, which had crossed over from the Caribbean side, shutting down all fishing for two days.
The large volume of rain has dirtied up the inshore from the outpouring of the rivers, and the roosterfish bite will probably not get going again for a few more days.
