Fish Report for 8-28-2008

Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico

8-28-2008
Gary Graham

The fishing has been a bit slow this week. With the blue water only 6 miles off the beach, the conditions would seem to be very good, but we have had wind at least 4 days so far this week. The wind has kept the sailfish average down to only about 1 or 2 fish per day per boat, and nobody has been going out farther than about 15 miles to look for tuna.

There are a few dorado showing in the counts, but it is only about 1 boat out of 3 scoring on the 20 pound plus fish.

Santiago, on the panga Gitana, fished inshore one day and had an unusual catch of triple tails. They scored on an even dozen of the 6 to 8 pound tasty fish. He found them off the outlets of the river mouths and hiding under the debris that had washed out from the river.

Roosterfish and jack crevalle action is still holding up with very good action.
