Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

JUNE 28, 2007
The season of unpredictability continues as the reports continue to defy the historical patterns. Offshore the Sailfish are almost nonexistent but the Marlin have showed up and continue to offer a real shot each day. Added to the mix was the oncoming full moon which made for a dicey mix. Inshore specialist and returning angler from New Jersey Ron Reinhardt and first time angler to Zihuatanejo Mr. Jamie Lobue fishing 4 days with Captain Adolofo raised over 20 ROOSTERFISH hooking 7 and landing 4. Two of the Roosterfish exceeded 70 lbs and were caught on YOZURI surface cruisers. The Duo also landed 27 YELLOWTAIL JACKS to 25 lbs. .Captain Adolofo finished the week fishing with Angler Mr. Montero who in 2 days landed 4 ROOSTERFISH to 55 lbs and 18 YELLOWTAIL JACKS. Captain Cheva on the Dos Hermanos 2 fishing 7 days with European angler Mr. Chanel hooked and lost 2 Big Marlin as well as 3 SAILFISH. Mr. Chanel did manage to land 7 ROOSTERFISH mostly on live bait along with over 60 Bonitos on lights tackle and 5 Big YELLOWTAIL JACKS. Returning angler Mr. Dennis Collins and his group fishing 3 days with Captain Chiro on the Bloody Hook landed an estimated 450 Lb Black Marlin on their first day out. The group’s second day was uneventful as they searched beyond the 25 mile mark but came up empty. The third day was marked by a rough sea and high winds. On that day the group managed one Yellowfin Tuna and pulled the hooks on a SAILFISH. Captain Temo on the Secuestro fishing with Angler Mr. Pack landed 1 ROOSTERFISH, 8 YELLOWTAIL JACKS and several Bonitos. The Red tide has moved south and our captain are reporting better water to the north around Pantla. The Blue water is out at the 25 mile mark and the band of green water between shore and the blue water is holding large schools of Bonito and some Marlin.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather. The first rain of the season with some wind
Sea Conditions: Moderate to rough
Bait Supply: Good
Sincerely,
Stan Lushinsky
