Tip&Trick Description 1:
I love fishing for Spanish mackerel, so I do it often. When I shove off to go fishing, I often stumble upon a very large school of mackerel, but sometimes they all don't want to feed and reject anything you throw at them. When this happenes, a good trick to get them to bite is to get them exited so they just want to catch what the think is a little fish just for the fun of it. To do this you would want to swich immediately to anywhere from a 1/4oz to a 1/2oz kastmaser-(like a spoon but a lot better). I make a long cast to where the fish are and as soon as that lure hits the water I begin to reel in just fast enough to get the kastmaser poping out of the water kinda like a fleeing baitfish. After it jumps out of the water a couple times keep it fast just below the surface. Do this at least 4 times during your retrieve and pretty soon you will have dozens of mackerel chasing your lure just for the sport of it until the lure bites back and then you get to have all the fun. |
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
When you get those swarms of mackerel chasing the your line, sometimes your lure will come to the boat a little early and the fish will ignore the katmaster and just swim away. To prevent this you want to go to the opposite end of the boat, make your cast, and then maneuver the lure so it will swim parallel to the boat, instead of directly at it, taking the mackerel with it. You will be catching mackerel right at the side of the boat. |

Tip&Trick Description 3:
These techniques have worked for me many times and gotten me coolers full of fish and I hope they work for you, too. Good fishing till next time. |

Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo Sportfishing Report
3-27-03 - 4-4-03
The beginning of this week started out just as flat as
last week. With a southwest wind brought in some favorable water and the
fishing improved dramatically towards the end of the week. Leading the
SAILFISH charge was Capt. Adolopho Espinosa and clients Danny Courtney and
his four sons who each caught a SAILFISH on their first day out. Angler,
Eric Leep, fishing aboard the 'La Bamba' with Capt. Jose Vargas caught 2 DORADO
and 2 SAILFISH in one day of fishing. Boats were averaging 2-3 billfish
strikes per day. There were several nice DORADOS caught as well. The
hottest bite was the YELLOWFIN TUNA who's numbers were at times just short of
unbelievable. Huge schools of SARDINES and baitballs of ANCHOVIES dotted
the coastline and schools of YELLOWFING TUNA in the 15-40lb. class were
encountered each day. Returning Florida angler Mike Viscoki, fishing with
Capt. Canderlerio aboard the 'Leydy' landed 25 YELLOWFIN in one 4 hour period
and took another 20 TUNA with Capt. Adolpho the largest going just over
100lbs. The blue water is at the 10 mile mark and huge schools of BONITO
are also scattered throughout that band of water. One BLACK MARLIN of
517lbs. Was landed by the super panga 'Princess Iris' but generally the MARLIN
bite has been slow. Inshore the hot action is with SPAINSH MACKEREL and
huge JACKS. No ROOSTERFISH have been reported.
Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo Climate: Seasonable beautiful days with gentle
breezes
Sea Conditions: Calm
Best Fishing Area: 5
miles out in front of the 'White Rocks' at Potosi
Bait Supply:
Good
