Tip&Trick Description 1:
The Castaway
One day this guy, who has been stranded on a desert island all alone for ten years, sees an unusual
speck on the horizon. 'It's certainly not a ship, 'he thinks to himself. As the speck gets closer and closer,
he begins to rule out the possibilities of a small boat, then even a raft.
Suddenly, emerging from the surf comes this drop-dead gorgeous blonde woman wearing a wet suit and
scuba gear. She approaches the stunned guy and says to him, 'Tell me, how long has it been since
you've had a cigarette?' 'Ten years' replies the stunned man. With that, she reaches over and unzips a
waterproof pocket on her left sleeve and pulls out a pack of fresh cigarettes. He takes one, lights it and
takes a long drag and says, 'Man oh man! Is that ever good!'
And how long has it been since you've had a sip of bourbon?' she asks him.
Trembling, the castaway replies: 'Ten years!' She reaches over, unzips her waterproof pocket on her
right sleeve pulls out a flask and hands it to him. He opens the flask, takes a long swig and says, 'Wow,
that's absolutely fantastic!'
At this point, she starts slowly unzipping the long zipper that runs own the front of her wet suit, looks at
him seductively and asks, 'And how long has it been since you've played around?' With tears in his eyes
the guy falls to his knees and says. 'Oh sweet Jesus! Don't tell me you've got golf clubs in there too! |

Nov 15, 2005; 08:37PM - Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Sportfishing report 11-2-05 to 11-09-05

Category: Mexico Ixtapa Zihuatanejo

Keeping with the pattern of recent weeks this fall season continues to be anything but normal. Although our captain and anlgers who fished the annual Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Total Tag & reelase tournament last week reported seeing many SAILFISH most were reluctant to bite. The reason for the slow bite was an unusually cold current which arrived in the area early in the week. The colder current did bring in a few marlin which were also caught and released during the tournament. Captain Adolofo Espinosa and Anglers Larry Kent and Brian Bushell took first place honors as they led from wire to wire. The team of Kent and Bushell landed and released 4 SAILFISH on the first day of the tournament and never looked back, finishing with a total of 7 SAILFISH landed and released in the three day tournament for a total team score of 875 POINTS. Starting slow but fininshing very strong was Captain Jose Vargas on the La Bamba with Pennsylvania Angler Tom Branoff. Tom Landed 1 SAILFISH on the first day, 2 SAILFISH on the second day and 1 SAILFISH and a MARLIN on the third day for a total of 775 POINTS. Mexico City Anglers, Jorge and Fernando Chavez, fishing their private boat ' PELAGIC ' took third place honor with a lone Marlin wich was tagged and released on Day # 2 for a total of 275 Team POINTS. Captain Luis Marcila on the Gringo Loco and anglers Greg and Shilby took fouth place with a single SAILFISH. Each of the top three teams also scored one daily Calcutta. Festivities were held at the Dorado Pacifico and once again we are very grateful to Delaware residents, Chris Narwold and Terry O'Bryne, along with a dedicated team of tournament judges who come to Ixtapa ZIhuatanejo each year to provide the tournament with accurate scoring and supporting our efforts to achive higher percentage of billfish releases. The sucess of this tournament would not be possible without the yearly committment of this incredible group of people. Once again our deepest thanks to all of them. The dates for next year's tournamnt are set for November 18 - 22, 2006. Anglers interested in participating are encouraged to contact of office for details and updates. With improving water temperatures and the abundance of schools of baitfish the area is primed for some good fishing in the months ahead.
Sincerely,
Stan Lushinsky
