Oh Wow!
Offshore –
The good ‘ol days are back! Here it is only early November, with the best
sailfish runs yet to come in January, and the fishing is excellent. What a
difference when the government finally stepped in and put a serious hurt to the
illegal panga long line operations. From here to Manzanillo, the fish no longer
have to run a gauntlet on their historical migratory path, and are now
available again to catch and release sport anglers.

Here are some notable catches: 1) Long time visitors
John Wilkinson and fishing partner Jim Heikkinen of Michigan fished with
Santiago on the super panga Gitana 4 days for a total of 9 dorado, 1 blue
marlin, and 16 sailfish. Most of the dorado came from fishing a
well-defined color break on their first day of fishing this week. The irony of the blue marlin, which was
released and over 300 pounds, is it was also caught on the first day of
fishing. On the last day of fishing last May, John had caught another. So, even
though they are months apart, he caught two marlin in two consecutive days of fishing.

2) Cheva, on the panga Dos Hermanos II fished 2 days
(Tuesday and Wednesday) with his clients from France for 10 sailfish and 2
dorado. They will be fishing with Cheva for 12 days straight. It will be
interesting to see the totals next week.
3) On the panga Dos Hermanos, Jesus (pronounced Hay-zuess) and Adolfo Jr. fished with
Justin Kumagai of Vancouver Island, BC for 7 strikes and hookups on sailfish on
Wednesday, and getting 4 to the boat.
And, it just keeps going. There are a lot of fish right
now, and a few anglers are showing up to take advantage.

The inshore, after such a great week last week, really slowed down
at the beginning of this week. Once again, after a couple of hard rains, we
were scratching to find clean water for the roosterfish along the beaches.
Then, the offshore blue water current picked up a lot of velocity, or changed
directions a bit, because it sure cleaned up the water in just a couple of
hours.

John Wilkinson was down at Puerto Vicente Guerrero with me and Adolfo
Jr. We were looking for clean water in the morning, and on the way back a few
hours later, what had been brown and ugly was now clean. We only ended up with
one nice rooster, but this will improve even this week.
And Adolfo, on the panga Dos Hermanos, made the first
run of the late season up to the Ranch, finding clean water and lots of fish.
They got roosters, sierras, chulas, and jack crevalle. Normally the Ranch is a
great producer for us in November.

Justin Kumagai went down
to Puerto Vicente Guerrero on Thursday with me and Adolfo Jr. And, as I had
predicted, the conditions changed to the good, dramatically. We hooked 7
roosters and a decent jack crevalle. The roosters were still in the cookie
cutter 25 to 30 pound size, which gives me hope for a bunch of huge roosters a
couple of years down the road. Keith, you should have been there today and
should not have gotten on that plane this last Saturday. I would have put you to
the bottom of the boat…whimpering to go home…LOL
