Our clients fishing from the panga experienced good fishing in the morning until the wind came up about 11:00. Pargo, sierra were climbing all over the flies for Shelby and Daren Nordhagen, Boozemen Mt. Who fished several days this week.

• OFFSHORE: By mid morning the wind made things uncomfortable and there were few fish to be found.
• INSHORE: Best choice this week with good action at La Ribera and in front of Punta Colorada
• BEACH: Seems to be shaping up to be a dynamite year for roosters and jacks.
BILLFISH – A few can be found but not enough to keep the fly rodder occupied.
YELLOWFIN TUNA – Find some porpoise and you may get lucky.
DORADO – Mostly larger fish in small groups.
ROOSTERFISH\\ JACK CREVALLE – Here we go, by next month it could be really good.
BARRILETE OR MEXICAN SKIPJACK – Still around.
PARGO AND CABRILLA – Found a few around the receivers at La Ribera and Punta Colorada.

SNOOK – Should pick up as the water warms up in the esteos
HALIBUT - A few throughout the bay on the sandy beaches.
SIERRA - Punta Belcher had a few under the diving birds.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The 78º blue water is holding at 6 miles. The sailfish action is very decent, but most of the other species like the blue marlin and big tuna are not consistent.
Adolpho, on the panga Dos Hermanos had a very good day with 4 sailfish releases and two 40 pound class dorado fishing an area about 15 miles from Zihuatanejo Bay. Santiago, on the panga Gitana, fished the same area and released 5 sailfish for his client.
Baja On The Fly Client, Ross Taylor, from Northern CA, fished the beach at Barra Pototsi one day. The surf was too high for fly fishing, but he could see the big jack crevalle silhouetted in the waves. He broke out his Garcia 6500C salmon gear and caught a few of the 25 pound jacks. Casting Krocadiles and a surface popper, he also landed a couple of 3 foot long needle fish. He had braided line on his 6500C, and it was a good thing. The jack's 1st run would peel off 200 yards, and then slug it out till he got it all back.

Baja on the Fly's Zihuatanejo report by Ed Kunze
SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: Sailfish 101 went off without a hitch and the mission was accomplished. Five went in search of their first sailfish on the fly and they weren’t disappointed. On arrival day (Sunday) a front came roaring though and left grumpy seas for the first day. Regardless, by the end of the day all five had seen the quarry but failed to complete the task. The second day brought calmer conditions and the group headed out with firm resolve to do better. That night at dinner three could celebrate their success and the other two could only watch while vowing to succeed the next day. Succeed they did and on the final night everyone could boast that they had caught their first sailfish on the fly and most had even done better than that with multiple catches recorded. During the four days the group averaged three events (fish in the teasers) an hour during actual fishing time. We have already started planning our next series, don’t miss out!
