Although the spring turnover to warmer water conditions has not yet completed the signs are starting to look much better. There were some very good days followed by some very slow days which is indicative of this time frame when the currents can't make up their mind which way to go. Leading angler for this week was Mr. Steve Martin from New Jersey who landed 5 SAILFISH on his first day out with Captain Adolopho on the Dos Hermanos. Mr. Martin followed up that day with a 160lb. BLUE MARLIN taken aboard the Leydy with captain Candelerio. New York angler Adam Stewart landed 3 SAILFISH while fishing with Captain Chiro on the Vamonos III. Cabela's Outdoors adventure director, Gregg Severenson also fishing with Captain Chiro on the Vamonos III landed a SAILFISH on his first day out. Captain Adolopho also scored a huge TUNA catch landing 37 YELLOWFIN in one afternoon at the 55 mile mark. The fish were schoolie sized in the 20-30 lb. class. Captain Adolopho reported the first good inshore action as he landed 12 ROOSTERFISH to 60lbs. and 15 BIG YELLOWTAIL JACKS in one day of fishing. The Blue water is nearly inside the bay and the water temps are in the high 70's. Inshore conditions have improved dramatically as there are no signs of the cold green water. The schools of MACKEREL and BONITOS are thick all along the coast.

With the onset of a different wind and current the fishing conditions changed for the better in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo last week. The beginning of the week was marked by excellent YELLOWFIN TUNA action with some boats landing school tuna in the 20 - 30 lb class while other found the giants. Boats were averaging 150 - 200 Kilos of tuna per day. Towards the end of the week a gentle breeze from the Southwest brought in warmer water and the return of good numbers of SAILFISH.
Returning Delaware angler, Larry Weldin landed 1 SAILFISH on his first day aboard the Janeth. Returning angler Andy Cousens fishing aboard the VAMONOS III with captain Chiro who has switched assignments to the VAMONOS III landed 4 SAILFISH and missed three others on his first day of fishing. Reports of other boats raising an average of 6 SAILFISH per day was common toward the end of the week. The inshore action is still being dominated by huge schools of YELLOWTAIL JACKS and BONITOS. No ROOSTERFISH were reported.
The Annual Billfish tournament is scheduled for MAY 2,3&4 with the main sponsor being NISSAN. 5 Vehicles will be awarded to the top 5 anglers. Interested anglers are encouraged to call or email our office for details.

Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo Sportfishing Report
3-27-03 - 4-4-03
The beginning of this week started out just as flat as
last week. With a southwest wind brought in some favorable water and the
fishing improved dramatically towards the end of the week. Leading the
SAILFISH charge was Capt. Adolopho Espinosa and clients Danny Courtney and
his four sons who each caught a SAILFISH on their first day out. Angler,
Eric Leep, fishing aboard the 'La Bamba' with Capt. Jose Vargas caught 2 DORADO
and 2 SAILFISH in one day of fishing. Boats were averaging 2-3 billfish
strikes per day. There were several nice DORADOS caught as well. The
hottest bite was the YELLOWFIN TUNA who's numbers were at times just short of
unbelievable. Huge schools of SARDINES and baitballs of ANCHOVIES dotted
the coastline and schools of YELLOWFING TUNA in the 15-40lb. class were
encountered each day. Returning Florida angler Mike Viscoki, fishing with
Capt. Canderlerio aboard the 'Leydy' landed 25 YELLOWFIN in one 4 hour period
and took another 20 TUNA with Capt. Adolpho the largest going just over
100lbs. The blue water is at the 10 mile mark and huge schools of BONITO
are also scattered throughout that band of water. One BLACK MARLIN of
517lbs. Was landed by the super panga 'Princess Iris' but generally the MARLIN
bite has been slow. Inshore the hot action is with SPAINSH MACKEREL and
huge JACKS. No ROOSTERFISH have been reported.
Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo Climate: Seasonable beautiful days with gentle
breezes
Sea Conditions: Calm
Best Fishing Area: 5
miles out in front of the 'White Rocks' at Potosi
