The days most anglers wait for arrived last week in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo. With Large schools of bait present the SAILFISH showed up in big numbers. In total our fleet ran 58 offshore charters, landing 203 SAILFISH. Equally impressive was the number of SAILFISH that were teased to the fly but not hooked and landed. That number would have taken the opportunities at SAILFISH well over the 500 mark. Leading the charge was returning anglers Ray & son Darren along with friend Mike Visocki who managed to land 35 SAILS and 3 DORADO in 5 days while fishing aboard the super panga Dos Hermanos 2. The trio, while catching some Bonito for bait just outside the harbor, had a estimated 700 Lb Black Marlin take one of their baits right in the prop wash. After a short screaming run the huge fish broke water as well as the 30 lb test line but managed to keep the Bonito. It was a sight that Ray said he will never forget. An additional bonus to the number of SAILFISH they landed was one huge Sail landed by Darren that was estimated at close to 165 lbs.. New York City fly fishing angler, Gary Wendrovski fishing aboard the Vamonos 3 landed three SAILFISH in one day on the fly. Mr. Wayne Miller and Larry Cowles of the Silver Bow Fly Shop along with their group while fishing aboard the super pangas, Janeth, Secuestro, Marfel and Tarpon landed 25 BONITOS on flies as well as a 47' Dorado taken by Bill Williams. Angler Rick Varnell took two 20 lb. YELLOWTAIL jacks on a fly and Mr. Wayne Miller released his first Pacific Sailfish on a fly, a beautiful fish estimated to be in the 120 lb class. Washington state angler Mr. Ron Hammill fishing with captain Sabino on the super panga ' MELS ' landed 6 SAILFISH in two offshore days. Angler Mr Peohlman fishing aboard the Leydy with Captain Candelerio landed 4 SAILFISH in 2 days. Mr Jim Wolf landed 4 SAILFISH in one day while fishing with Captain Jose Vargas on the LA Bamba. Dr. Jim Schmonsky had twin 3 SAILFISH days aboard the La Bamba and Moramay. Returning angler Jerry Burns, fishing 3 days aboard the Dos Hermanos 2 landed 4 Sails, 8 Rainbow runners, 2 Yellowtail Jacks and 8 Bonitos. Washington Angler, Chris Morrison landed 14 Rainbow runners 12 Yellowtail Jacks and 28 Bonitos in 2 inshore days with captain Adolofo and 14 Sails in 2 days while fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos 2. Arizona fly fishing angler Steve Brillhart fishing aboard the Monica for four days raised 39 Sailfish releasing 2 fish. Fly fishing partner Erik Cramer fishing aboard the Zapatito Gordo had an equal number of opportunites also landing 2 SAILS in 4 days. First time visitor to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Paul Collins and Matthew Reid fishing aboard the Vamonos had the single best day, landing 8 Sailfish. Conditions remain near perfect with the majority of the SAILFISH being caught inside of 10 miles. Several Marlin were raised and the Dorado have been spotty. Yellowfin Tuna remain far offshore and the Roosterfish have once again done the disappearing act.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather: Seasonably nice with an occasional passing shower
Sea Conditions: Calm
Bait Supply: Very Good
Sincerely,
Stan Lushinsky
