Fish Report for 5-1-2008

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico

There has been little change this week, with basically the same results of last week. The boats are averaging 1 to 2 sailfish a day each, the tuna are still too far out, and out of reach, and few dorado are showing in the counts.

This weekend starts our annual three-day sailfish tournament, with an expected 140 boats pounding the water from Friday until Sunday.

With the new moon on Monday, and after a few days to let the water calm down from the tournament, I really expect the fishing to take off. It is now May, and May is one of our best months of the year for the large tuna and blue marlin.
