The oncoming full moon, stronger currents and the seasonal turnover of the waters off Ixtapa Zihuatanejo all occurred last week making fishing difficult and scattered. The abundant bait supply diminished and with it the predators looked for more fertile feeding grounds. The arrival of a colder inshore current pushed the blue water out to beyond the 15 miles mark and boats had to go an average of 24 miles to find productive SAILFISH water. Boats were finding it difficult to average more than one to 2 strikes per day off SAILFISH while the action on YELLOWFIN TUNA picked up substantially. The most productive boat for YELLOWFIN TUNA this past week was Captain Chico on the Llamarada fishing with Michigan anglers Tom and Cynthia Stanek. In two days of fishing the duo landed 20 YELLOWFIN TUNA to 50 lbs.. New Jersey angler Ron Reinhardt fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos also got into some YELLOWFIN TUNA landing 5 along with 1 SAILFISH. French Anglers Mr. Lorieux and Coudrier fishing aboard the super panga Leydy landed 3 SAILFISH, 4 YELLOWFIN TUNA , 3 DORADOS 4 YELLOWTAIL JACKS and 7 BONITOS in 5 days of fishing. Returning Chicago angler and second place winner of the The oncoming full moon, stronger currents and the seasonal turnover of the waters off Ixtapa Zihuatanejo all occurred last week making fishing difficult and scattered.

Returning Chicago angler and second place winner of the Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Total Tag & Release tournament ( www.ixtapasportfishing.com/tournament), Ellen Levine, landed a single SAILFISH on her first day out with Captain Jose Vargas on the La Bamba. Inshore, the colder currents have really made a mess of things. NO ROOSTERFISH were reported and there was only marginal action on Jacks, Spanish Mackerel, Bonitos and Green Jacks.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Climate: Seasonably beautiful with cool mornings and afternoon temps in the high 80's
Sea Conditions: Calm
Best fishing areas: 20 - 25 mile offshore
Bait supply: Fair
