Tip&Trick Description 1:
Here’s a fishing story.
Four married guys go fishing. After an hour, the following conversation
took place:
First guy:
’You have no idea what I had to do to be able to come out fishing this
weekend. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the
house next weekend.’
Second guy:
’That is nothing, I had to promise my wiife that I will build her a new
deck for the pool.’
Third guy:
’Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife that I will
remodel the kitchen for her.’
They continue to fish when they realized that the fourth guy has not
said a word. So they asked him.!
’You haven’t said anything about what you had to do to be able to come
fishing this weekend. What’s the deal?’
Fourth guy:
’I just set my alarm for 5:30 am. When it went off, I shut off my alarm,
gave the wife a nudge and said, ’Fishing or Sex’ and she said, ’Wear a
sweater.’

May 8, 2003; 11:38PM - Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo Sportfishing Report 5-3-03 to 5-8-03

The cooler water temperatures, which have dominated the Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo area for the last six weeks, refused to move. This cooler water has brought with it some incredible TUNA action but has really depressed the SAILFISH activity which is normal for this time of year. Last week's International Billfish Tournament, with a field of just over 100 boats, managed to land 36 SAILFISH, 3 MARLIN, and 4 DORADO in three days of fishing. The largest SAILFISH scaled in at 79.2lbs, the largest MARLIN at 257.4lbs, and the largest DORADO at 41.8lbs. By Ixtapa/Zihuatnanejo standards this was an extremely poor performance. Fishing outside the tournament, French angler Mr. Minvielle fishing aboard the Super Panga, 'Leydy', landed 10 YELLOWFIN TUNA, 1 DORADO, and 32 BONITOS in two days of fishing. On his next two days fishing aboard the Super Panga, 'Securestro de Amor', Mr. Minvielle landed 1 DORADO, 8 BONITOS, and 1 250lb. BLUE MARLIN. Mr. Shane Shelton of Lemoore, CA fishing with Capt. Chiro Barragan aboard the 'Vamonos III' landed 33 YELLOWFIN TUNA, and fought an estimated 500lb. MARLIN for 10 minutes before it through the hook. Inshore, Capt. Adolopho fishing with French angler, Mr. Collomb, landed 40 YELLOWTAIL JACKS, 2 ROOSTERFISH, and 2 SPANISH MACKEREL. Capt. Adolpho reports huge schools of YELLOWTAIL JACKS and an occasional large ROOSTERFISH in the 60lb. class. Offshore, the YELLOWFIN TUNA in the 20-30lb. range have been caught between 10-15 miles out. With the oncoming full moon, historically, we should see warmer water currents and an increase in the SAILFISH activity in the weeks ahead. The warmer currents should also increase the presence of big schools of ROOSTERFISH in the next few months.
Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo Climate: Temp's in the high 80's to low 90's
Sea Conditions: Calm
Best Fishing Area: 10-15 miles offshore
Bait Supply: Good
