Tip&Trick Description 1:
The Castaway
One day this guy, who has been stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years, sees an unusual
speck on the horizon. 'It's certainly not a ship, 'he thinks to himself. As the speck gets closer and closer,
he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft.
Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes this drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and
scuba gear. She approaches the stunned guy and says to him, 'Tell me, how long has it been since
you've had a cigarette?' 'Ten years' replies the stunned man. With that, she reaches over and unzips a
waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it and
takes a long drag and says, 'Man oh man! Is that ever good!'
And how long has it been since you've had a sip of bourbon?' she asks him.
Trembling, the castaway replies: 'Ten years!' She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on her
right sleeve pulls out a flask and hands it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says, 'Wow,
that's absolutely fantastic!'
At this point, she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs own the front of her wet suit, looks at
him seductively and asks, 'And how long has it been since you've played around?' With tears in his eyes
the guy falls to his knees and says. 'Oh sweet Jesus! Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there too! |

Lots of fishing activity was reported last week in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo as the historical stats indicate a prime time for Pacific Sailfish. Captain Chiro aboard the Bloody Hook reported 2 SAILFISH in 1 day for the Gary Berkholtz group and a 4 SAILFISH day angler Mr James. Mr Berkoltz's group also fishing aboard the Marea Azul and Illusion landed 4 more SAILFISH Captain Chiro also fished 5 days with retruning fly angler Mr Jerry Wendrovsky raising 22 SAILFISH transferring 7 to the fly hooking all 7 and landing 2. Mr Wendrovsky also reported raising an estimated 250 lb. BLue Marlin that would not make the transfer to his fly. Mr. Wendrovsky also ventured south for an inshore shot at a Rooster on a fly with Captain Hiram on the La Hawaiiana. The duo found a school of big roosterfish in the 50 lb class feeding a bit offshore and got one to crash the fly. The shock tippet abraided by one of the diving frigate birds caused the fish to break off. Our annual fly fishing group led by Mr Russ Hampton fishing 7 days aboard the super pangas, Janeth, Llamarada, Secuestro, Marfel, Angler, Grand Jefe , Dos Hermanos 2, Zapatito Gordo. Sailfish and Monica raised 182 SAILFISH incuding 8 Blue Marlin, Many fish were transferred and hooked but only 18 were successfully landed and released. Our fly anglers reported sluggish activity from the SAILFISH as the water temps were a bit on the lower than normal side which is also indicative by the number of marlin raised this year. Captain Adolofo on the Dos Hermanos 1 fishing with Returning angler Tim Hoare from London reported 14 SAILFISH, 11 YELLOWFIN TUNA, 1 DORADO and 15 JACKS. FInishing the week with Mr Hoare Captain Adolofo repoted the Zihua Grand SLam Landing a SAILFISH, BLUE MARLIN, DORADO and a YELLOWFIN TUNA in a single day. Captain Adolofo also fishing with Angler Bob Simon landed 7 SAILFISH in 2 days of fishing. Captain Candelerio aboard the Leydy fishing 2 days with European Angler Mr SOualssol landed 4 SAILFISH and 1 DORADO. Captain Jose on the La Bamba reported 3 SAILFISH and 4 DORADO in 4 days for Angler MR Thorn. Captain Gilberto on the Moramay reported 7 SAILFISH and 2 DORADO for Returning angler Mr Doug Clark. Captain Morales on the Vamonos 1 and captain Javier on the Marlin Azul reported 12 SAILFISH, 1 BLUE MARLIN and 2 DORADOS in 3 days with Mr Adams Group. Captain Arturo on the Janeth posted 4 SAILFISH and 2 YELLOWTAIL JACKS in 2 days of fishing for angler Mr Smart. Offshore conditions continue to change with the blue water and most of the action occurring between 20 - 25 miles offshore. By week's end the action picked up and came closer to shore ( Inside 7 miles.) Late February into March and April has historically been our BIG FISH months for Marlin and Tuna. Please call our office for availability.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather: Sunny with temps reaching 100 Degrees
Sea Conditions: Calm
Bait Supply: Good.
Sincerely,
