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. |

Sep 4, 2004; 04:35PM - Three Sails A Day!
|
|
Category: Mexico Ixtapa Zihuatanejo
|
|
Author Name: Gary Graham
|
IN GENERAL: The 80º clean blue water is only about 1 mile of the beach. Overall, the fishing can be rated as decent. Most boats are averaging between two and three sailfish releases per day, but the tuna and dorado are scarce again.
The big news is still with the outstanding roosterfish bite that has not let up for about two months now, along with lots of huge jack crevalle. In fact, some of the best jack fishing is taking place inside Zihuatanejo Bay.
Even though the roosterfish are outstanding, you normally only dream of a day like the one Luis Marciel had with his client Pat Johnson of Tulsa, Okla., on the panga “Gringo Loco.” They were fishing the Pantla area when a huge area of fish erupted on bait just off the beach. Mixed in with the gamefish were large sierra, jacks, and roosters. When it was all over and done, fishing with surface poppers to the breaking fish, Pat and his fishing partner had 10 roosters averaging between 35- and 45-pounds, 7 jacks of about 12- to 15-pounds, and 2 sierra. They were absolutely exhausted, and told Luis to head back to the dock before 11.
Luis told me they had lost at least 10 more big roosters on short strikes, and at one point a large jack was literally battling with a large rooster to see who could get the popper first.
