IN GENERAL: The 80º blue water is only about 3 miles off the beach. The fishing is rated as good for all species. However, we did get a couple of days of stormy weather this week, making it too tough to try to fish.
The rainy season has arrived and within a week, the surrounding will be green again. This is the time of the year when the blue water (read game species) comes in very close to the beach.
While guiding BOF client Michael Bebee of Marin, Calif., Mike took 6 nice yellowfin tuna. We were on the panga “Zapatito Gordo” with Captain Cali. All the fish were caught casting into the boils among the birds and porpoise. We located the school of fish only 7 miles from Zihuatanejo Bay.
Sailfish action is seeing about a 2 to 3 fish per boat average. Captain Ruben on the “Yellowfin II” came over and joined us on the tuna school after releasing 3 sailfish for his clients. He ended his day by 10 with the 3 sails and 4 nice tuna.
The roosters and jack crevalle are here also, but the offshore storms have the beaches in a rough condition with the high surf. Adolpho, on the panga “Dos Hermanos,” and Marcos on the panga “Oceana” did manage to find good concentrations of both. Adolpho got his roosters and jacks 26 miles south, and Marcos got several large jacks just in front of Ixtapa and the marina Ixtapa.
