IN GENERAL: The IGFA announced this week that our “Jacks or Better” Roosterfish-on-the-Fly tournament will be one of the qualifying events and the winner will be invited to compete in their Inshore Championship in April, 2005. http://igfa.org/tournaments/event-display.cfm?eveid=441 Don’t miss out on the first ever Rooster-on-the Fly event in Zihuatanejo. http://www.bajafly.com/jacksorbetter.htm
The 78º blue water remains at 12 miles and the blue marlin bite is still strong. Each day about 1 in every 4 boats is getting a shot at a marlin. When you consider they are not targeting marlin, but rather pulling smaller baits for the sailfish, those are fairly decent numbers. The sailfish action is holding steady at about two fish per boat per day.
The inshore action has really taken off. While guiding Baja on the Fly fishing client Steve Walser of Soulsbyville, Calif., (Note: Soulsbyville is a mountain town in the California Gold Country in case you didn’t recognize it) he was hooking a fish about every 5 minutes. We were fishing the near point at the White Rocks and in the mixed bag were black skipjack tuna, jack crevalle, and rainbow runners.
