Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico
This is turning out to be one of our slowest month of May ever. The 82 degree blue water is still just 5 to 6 miles off the beach and the 80 degree clean water is all along the inshore area. But, the game fish still have not shown. We are only averaging about 1 sailfish per boat, no tuna, and no dorado.
The blue marlin fishing has been doing very well however. We are only averaging about a total of 10 to 12 boats a day going out fishing. At least 3 or 4 of those boats are fishing inshore, with the rest in the blue water. Of those in the blue water, we are getting at least 3 to 4 hooked blue marlin a day, and landing one. One of the reasons the catch ratio is low, is because the big marlin are often taking the baits on the sailfish gear, and are spooling the reel.
I did have a great day on the water with fly fishing client Josh Vincent from Michigan. We targeted the black skipjack tuna inshore with a 9wt. Casting to the schools of breaking fish, Josh was averaging a fish for every 4 casts.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MAY 9-15, 2005
WEATHER: Day time highs in the mid to low 90’s and night time lows in the high 60’s have us feeling pretty good right now, and it’s really nice to have the humidity low! We ended up with a little overcast at the end of the week, nothing heavy and nothing that should bring any rain. Most of the week the wind was out of the north-west and it picked up a bit in the afternoons.
WATER: This week the water conditions were almost a repeat of last weeks. The Pacific side of the cape is still much cooler than the Cortez side with the average temperature at 67-68 degrees while on the Cortez side the water has been mostly between 74-78 degrees. The temperature break that formed last week along the edge of the California current has stayed there and runs from the light house on the Pacific side in a SSW direction and keeps going for over 40 miles. Surface conditions on the Pacific side have been a bit rough due to the fairly steady NW winds but the Sea of Cortez has been really smooth and with almost no wind chop to be found. Once in a while in the afternoon the wind would shift and come from the SW and then things would chop up, but not often and not for long.
BAIT: Early in the week getting bait was not a problem and mostly it was Caballito at the usual $2 per bait. Later in the week there seemed to be a bit of a problem if you were late getting out and some boats ended up leaving with no bait at all. There were some Sardinas found up at San Jose at the normal $20 per scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Striped Marlin remain the fish of the week once again. There was a great concentration of them up to the north on the Cortez side this week, around the Punta Gorda area. At any one time you could see between 60 and 80 boats working the area, and many of them were hooked up. While the Caballito were getting a few fish, most of the boats were having better luck catching their own Mackerel at the site and using them, sort of matching the hatch. Drifting with the live bait, slow trolling them both live and rigged dead worked well, and toward the end of the week there seemed to be a bit of an increase tendency to strike on trolled lures. At the end of the week the fish had either moved closer to home or a new group had come in because things started to take off around the 1150 spot. Not as concentrated as the fish at the Punta Gorda, they were there in numbers strong enough to make it a first stop destination for a lot of the boats. Average Marlin catch for those targeting the fish were two per boat, but many of the boats were releasing four and five per day. Of course there were a few boats that did not catch any, but that is why the stats are called averages!
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Once again there were football sized fish showing up under the Dolphin, but not every pod held fish and not all the fish found would bite. When they did it was not uncommon to limit out on Tuna in the 10-25 pound range. Most of the fish were found near the temperature break south of the cape about 25 miles, where the water was a bit bumpy. There were nice fish holding on the Gorda Banks as well, but they were very picky fish. Nice Yellowfin from 30 to 100 pounds could be seen busting the water but the only anglers having any luck on them were the Panga fishermen out of San Jose who were there at gray light in the morning and using “Chilwillies” they caught themselves.
DORADO: Still not a happening fish, there are a few more of them showing up every week. As the water continues to warm they should start to come on strong. There were fish found this week mixed in with the Yellowfin at the temperature break, and there were still fish found out at the 1,000 fathom line on the Cortez side of the cape. These Dorado averaged 15 pounds and were striking bright colored lures.
WAHOO: Wahoo were out there this week and there were still a number of them caught out at Punta Gorda and around the inner Gorda Banks and the Red Hill area. A few of the fish caught went to 80 pounds and there were a lot of surprised anglers when they checked lures and found that there was nothing at the leader, a Wahoo had sliced through the leader and taken the lure without them even noticing. Dark colored lures in Petrelero and Green/Black seemed to be a favorite.
INSHORE: There was not a lot of change in the inshore fishing, there are still a few Sierra being found on the Pacific side of the cape and a few Roosterfish as well. Everyone I talked to that had been Panga fishing said that they had good action, and pretty steady at that on a good mix of fish, with no one fish showing exceptionally strong.
NOTES: I am going to be pretty busy this week since we are having the Roles/IGFA Championship Tournament in Cabo this coming week. Four days of fishing for 74 teams from around the world. You had to have won a qualifying tournament to be invited and it is a billfish release tournament on 30 pound line. It is being filmed by the Outdoor Network for an hour special later in the season. I don’t get to fish it but will be running the video boat if things don’t change. Sure is a good thing the Marlin fishing has been so good, now we are keeping our fingers crossed that it continues to stay good. This week the report was written to the music of Pink Floyd off the 1996 Capitol CD “Relics”. Until next week, Tight Lines!

Sorry for the lack of reports lately but I have been busy trying to get our new boat ready for the season.
This past Friday we took out Dana Coleman and friends. Although the weather wasn't exactly what it was supposed to be the fishing was still very good. We pulled up to our spot and right off the bat we picked up two yellowfin tuna and 1 blackfin tuna. After that it slowed down quick. We stayed around for about another hour and headed in to some closer rigs to fish for snapper and cobia. They did manage to get a few red snapper and mangrove snapper, 1 undersize cobia, and that was it for the day. The offshore fishing is really picking up since the last couple of weeks. The big yellowfin tuna are moving back in and yesterday a private boat caught a 525lb. bluefin. The Marlin and Dolphin are starting to move in on the rip lines and floaters. Around the rigs the cobia, snapper, and grouper are all over the place. It is that time of year again. You never know what your going to catch next. The weather has been nice, sunny almost every day, with a little more wind than expected, but still not bad. We have openings if anyone wants to see what real fishing is all about.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT MAY 2-8, 2005
WEATHER: We continued to have northwest winds this week and that meant there was only one day with partly cloudy skies. No rain fell on us and our daytime highs were in the low 90’s with night time lows in the mid 70’s. Sunny skies with cool mornings and evenings, low humidity, it just makes me feel good!
WATER: The California current has kept the water on the Pacific side of the cape cold with most of the area between 64 and 68 degrees, at least until the San Jaime where the water warmed up to 70-71 degrees. On the Cortez side of the cape the water has been much warmer with a ridge of water in the 77 degree range running from the Gorda to the 95 spot and then to the southeast. The strong California current has been at around 2 knots and collapsed the small hook of warm water we had just to the south so that now we just have a 5 mile wide band of warm water along the coast toward San Jose for about 5 miles. Elsewhere on the Cortez side the water has been in the mid 70’s. The Pacific side has been rough and the Cortez side to the east of the 95 spot has been decent, but a bit lumpy.
BAIT: There were Caballito available at the normal $2 per bait and if you went up toward San Jose early in the morning there was a chance of getting Sardinas at $20 per bucket.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Still the fish of the week, the bite on Striped Marlin has been improving. Most of the fish have been holding in the warmer water on the Cortez side out toward the 95 spot or up the coast past the Gorda Banks area, up around Punta Gorda. Between one and four fish have been caught per boat with a pretty even mix between live bait and lure caught fish.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Football Tuna in among the Dolphin were a fairly common catch this week and there were a few larger fish found as well, fish up to 30 pounds. Still none of the #100 fish showing up, but hopefully they will be here soon. A few fish were caught in the blind this week but most of them were associated with the Dolphin. Feathers in dark colors and cedar plugs worked well when the fish were found.
DORADO: The best bite on Dorado this week was on the Cortez side out around the 1000 fathom curve. There were strong current lines and rips in the area and they had the fish excited and feeding heavily. As the water has warmed up there have been more flying fish in the area and there were good concentrations of them out at the drop. This also bodes well for a showing of Blue Marlin soon!
WAHOO: There was a pretty fair pick on the Wahoo this week but most of the fish were found up around the Punta Gorda area by boats fishing for Marlin. The Gorda Banks had fish showing up there as well and Mackerel Scad rigged with a short wire bite leader and dropped to around 100 feet caught some nice fish for a few boats slow trolling them on the east side of the inner Gorda.
INSHORE: Most of the inshore bite was close to home with a half dozen decent Sierra per boat, fish to 8 pounds. There were also Jack Crevalle mixed in with them. A Roosterfish bite occurred of the beach at San Cristobal for a day or so with fish to 35 pounds being caught, but the wind only allowed for a few hours in the morning before the water became too rough to stay. There are big concentrations of Mullet moving into the area so hopefully the Roosterfish bite will pick up soon.
NOTES: Like I said last week, the fishing continues to improve. That’s a good thing and we hope it continues. This weeks report was written to a mix of songs off the internet, almost all of them blues by Sam “Lightnin” Hopkins, the legendary Texas bluesman. Until next week, Tight Lines!

San Jose, Guatemala
This past week, we hosted the Rick Swetish party of 4 from Texas. During their stay, they experienced great weather and consistent action which enabled them to experience double digit releases each day on sails. The fishing was still pretty far between 30-40 miles. The action in Guatemala continues on through August, with the potential for double digit days on sails with marlin mixed in.
We have open dates throughout this period of time. This is a great time for your spur of the moment trip with us. Just give our office a call for a trip of a lifetime.
We are also currently booking for the peak periods between November and April of next season, available slots are filling quickly.
Fishing guide and newspaper columnist Paul Bruun , Jackson Hole, Wyo., visited us in early March. Here is a link to his entertaining story of the trip and a good example of why hunters and anglers from all over the world subscribe to the little Jackson Hole paper:

The clean water is just off the beach, with the blue water only 6 to 8 miles out. The Terrifin Satellite Surface Temperatures show 80 to 85 degree water everywhere. In other words, the conditions are perfect, but still there are very few fish.
Earlier this week we had a great showing of large Yellowfin tuna, but they have also disappeared. However, a few nice fish were taken while they were here. Luis, on the panga “Gringo Loco” fished with Gary Tagahuci from Laguna Beach, CA and got a nice 270 pound fish. Santiago , on the panga “Gitana”, also got a 190 pound tuna. Another member of Gary's group got a nice black marlin while fishing with Luis.
The 22nd annual Sailfish Tournament is currently underway, making a statement about the lack of fish in the area this week. Yesterday (Friday), the first day of the tournament, only 28 sailfish, 2 blue marlin, and 1 dorado were caught from a field of 110 boats. That is less than 1 sailfish for every 4 boats average.
Cheva on the “Dos Hermanos II” found a few small roosterfish earlier in the week, but we are still a little early in the season to expect much action from the roosters. This will pick up over the next three weeks.

East Cape
Cinco de Mayo and better weather always seem to go hand in hand. While the weather has improved, the fishing has been slow to catch up. Offshore the big news was a blue marlin being caught that was just shy of 500 lbs. Added to that factoid, there have been more than a few sails show up in the patterns already this year and striped marlin remained consistent again this week as well. This has some of the locals thinking early…early….early season for the pointy nosed guys. Not enough action for the fly rodders looking for a billfish on the fly but looks promising for the future. Still iffy as far as the dorado go, though the ones that are found are good sized. Mostly football sized tuna and they are pretty much spread out from La Ribera out to 40 miles. The beach produced a few small roosters with Cory Hawryluk, Houston, TX coming up from Cabo to land his first rooster on the fly. He found the beach experience to be a hoot and is planning a return trip soon.
Al Tigert, Anchorage AK emailed us this report about his trip in late April. 'The quality of the experience was excellent, and everything we could wish for. It would be difficult to match the quantity of fish that we enjoy at home in Alaska, but the chance to pursue exotic species in a beautiful (warm) locale w/people who are knowledgeable, friendly and have a good sense of humor was perfect. Every fish was a brand new species for us to marvel at.'
On the chum side, there were some mackerel to be found but still few, if any sardina available.

Still plenty of wind to deal with. Outside, weather permitting there as some quality sized tuna 210 degrees 15 – 20 miles out and that seems to be the best action for the entire area. Still the be squid around outside the Entrada as well. The reports for the Esteros have been very few fish, even the cabrilla have a severe case of lock jaw. One interesting report was a fifteen lb. snook that was caught near the base of the commercial pier. One more thing, closer to town, under the bridge at the entrance to town produced some decent early morning action for corvina, pargo and even a few leopard grouper. Sounds like the guys are overrunning the fish.

The days following the full moon saw an increase of water temperature for the third consecutive week which spurred on a better Sailfish bite. Marlin activity continues to be very good as well. Kevin Ross of San Clemente, CA fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos 1 with Capt. Adolofo landed 4 SAILFISH, 1 TUNA, 1 BONITO, and 1 BLUE MARLIN weighing in at 320lbs caught on 20lb test fighting the MARLIN for 2 ½ hours. Robert Lage also fishing with Capt. Adolofo landed 1 ROOSTERFISH and 1 NEEDLEFISH. On Mr. Lage’s second day of fishing, aboard the La Bama with Capt. Jose Vargas, landed 1 SAILFISH and 1 200lb BLUE MARLIN. Also fishing with Capt. Jose on the La Bamba, Shane Sigler of Yakima, WA landed 1 SAILFISH. Dan Smith and wife landed 1 SAILFISH and 2 BONITO fishing with Capt.
