Feb 6, 2006; 04:56PM - Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Sportfishing report 1-27-06 to 2-3-06
|

Category: Mexico Ixtapa Zihuatanejo

Lots of fishing activity was reported last week in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo as the historical stats indicate a prime time for Pacific Sailfish. Captain Chiro aboard the Bloody Hook reported 2 SAILFISH in 1 day for the Gary Berkholtz group and a 4 SAILFISH day angler Mr James. Mr Berkoltz's group also fishing aboard the Marea Azul and Illusion landed 4 more SAILFISH Captain Chiro also fished 5 days with retruning fly angler Mr Jerry Wendrovsky raising 22 SAILFISH transferring 7 to the fly hooking all 7 and landing 2. Mr Wendrovsky also reported raising an estimated 250 lb. BLue Marlin that would not make the transfer to his fly. Mr. Wendrovsky also ventured south for an inshore shot at a Rooster on a fly with Captain Hiram on the La Hawaiiana. The duo found a school of big roosterfish in the 50 lb class feeding a bit offshore and got one to crash the fly. The shock tippet abraided by one of the diving frigate birds caused the fish to break off. Our annual fly fishing group led by Mr Russ Hampton fishing 7 days aboard the super pangas, Janeth, Llamarada, Secuestro, Marfel, Angler, Grand Jefe , Dos Hermanos 2, Zapatito Gordo. Sailfish and Monica raised 182 SAILFISH incuding 8 Blue Marlin, Many fish were transferred and hooked but only 18 were successfully landed and released. Our fly anglers reported sluggish activity from the SAILFISH as the water temps were a bit on the lower than normal side which is also indicative by the number of marlin raised this year. Captain Adolofo on the Dos Hermanos 1 fishing with Returning angler Tim Hoare from London reported 14 SAILFISH, 11 YELLOWFIN TUNA, 1 DORADO and 15 JACKS. FInishing the week with Mr Hoare Captain Adolofo repoted the Zihua Grand SLam Landing a SAILFISH, BLUE MARLIN, DORADO and a YELLOWFIN TUNA in a single day. Captain Adolofo also fishing with Angler Bob Simon landed 7 SAILFISH in 2 days of fishing. Captain Candelerio aboard the Leydy fishing 2 days with European Angler Mr SOualssol landed 4 SAILFISH and 1 DORADO. Captain Jose on the La Bamba reported 3 SAILFISH and 4 DORADO in 4 days for Angler MR Thorn. Captain Gilberto on the Moramay reported 7 SAILFISH and 2 DORADO for Returning angler Mr Doug Clark. Captain Morales on the Vamonos 1 and captain Javier on the Marlin Azul reported 12 SAILFISH, 1 BLUE MARLIN and 2 DORADOS in 3 days with Mr Adams Group. Captain Arturo on the Janeth posted 4 SAILFISH and 2 YELLOWTAIL JACKS in 2 days of fishing for angler Mr Smart. Offshore conditions continue to change with the blue water and most of the action occurring between 20 - 25 miles offshore. By week's end the action picked up and came closer to shore ( Inside 7 miles.) Late February into March and April has historically been our BIG FISH months for Marlin and Tuna. Please call our office for availability.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather: Sunny with temps reaching 100 Degrees
Sea Conditions: Calm
Bait Supply: Good.
