Apr 16, 2006; 08:39PM - Flashing stick baits for pike.

Tip&Trick Description 1:
When fishing for aggressive or active pike try using shallow running stick bait and retrieve the lure until it is about 10-15 feet away from the boat/pier. Then give it a jerk. The lure will create a bright flash that triggers the pike to bite. This technique works best in clear to mildly clear or stained water. You can try this for bass too. |

May 7, 2004; 03:10PM - Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Sportfishing Report 4-30-04 to 5-6-04
|

Category: Mexico Ixtapa Zihuatanejo

Author Name: Stan Lushinsky Susan Richards

The annual Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Billfish Classic tournament dominated the fishing report for last week. In all, a total of about 100 boats fished this year's event and combined reported landing just over 300 BILLFISH in the three day event. The Catch was predominately SAILFISH with a few nice Marlin and DORADO in the mix. Captain Adolofo Espinosa on the Dos Hermanos 1 reported 10 SAILFISH, 2 STRIPED MARLIN and 1 BLUE MARLIN in the 3 days and Partner Cheva on the Dos Hermanos 2 reported 8 SAILFISH. Captain Chiro on the Vamonos 3 reported 4 SAILFISH. None of these fish were big enough to place in the prize category. Captain Artuo landed along with angler Frank Miller had a 3 SAILFISH day. Cabelas Outdoor Adventure's client Mr. Durente reported loosing a small marlin on his first day offshore aboard the Vamonos 3. A very rare catch for the Ixtapa Zihuatanejo area, an 120 Lb SWORDFISH was also reported caught during the tournament. The best fishing area was between 22 and 27 miles offshore. With the passing of the full moon and calmer seas the historical turnover to warmer waters temp this month should signal more consistent offshore and inshore activity. The next few months have been our very best for Big Roosterfish and we still have a few prime dates available. Interested angler are encourage to contact our office.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather: Cool mornings followed by beautiful days
Sea Conditions: High tide generated by the full moon along with Calm to moderate seas.
Bait Supply: Good
Sincerely,
Stan Lushinsky
