Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico Fishing Report

The 82 ? blue water has moved off the beach to the 9-mile mark. The fishing action for sailfish and dorado has also moved out a little farther, with most fish being reported to be between the 12- to 15-mile mark.

Here is a report from Flip Himmelreich of Spokane, Washington who each year holds a small mini-tournament among friends fishing from pangas:

"Thought I would tell you how we did last week.

Five boats/ten fishermen caught 35 sails and 8 dorado in the 2-day tournament. All sails were released, except three that died, and all dodo's were consumed "con mucho gusto" at Lety's and Chendo's.

On the next day, I went out with Chago and teased some sailfish up with lures, then tossed a bait on light tackle to them. We raised five and I was able to hook four and land three. WHAT A BLAST!!!! Next time I'll try the "fly" thing." Hugh 'Flip' Himmelreich

Adolfo, on the panga Dos Hermanos, reports a lot of roosters and jack cravelle up North at the Barra Union area....Ed Kunze

The inshore has slowed down a bit for the local roosters,...... Read More
