While the full moon had a definite negative effect on the offshore bite, The inshore fishery exploded into some indescribable Roosterfish action. Captain Adolofo reported day long action along the south beaches nearly San Valentine. In 4 days Captain Adolofo reported raising 96 Roosterfish to the fly landing 8. Captain Temo using conventional gear recorded a 7 Roosterfish day and Captain Cheva also using conventional gear reported an 8 Roosterfish day along with Several Yellowtail jacks. The roosterfish are averaging 30 Lbs and are really aggressive to a top water pencil popper. The Sailfish bite was sluggish but some nice sized Dorado were reported in the weekly catch report. Because of the full moon our captains reported a good bite early and late but the late morning and middle part of the day was void of any action. The blue water is still inside the bay.

Moving forward from last week with the changing conditions and after a sluggish start to the week, the offshore Sailfish bite increased dramatically. Our captains are reporting 3 - 4 Sailfish per day per boat and the warm blue water is with in 1 mile of shore. The real action continues to be the wide open inshore roosterfish bite south of Zihuatanejo Bay near San Valentine. Returning New Jersey Anglers Ron & Jeff Reinhardt fishing 3 days aboard the Dos Hermanos 1 with Captain Adolofo landed 23 Roosterfish in the 15 - 50 lb class as well as 2 Large Yellowtail Jacks. One day number 1 Jeff's third cast using a Yozuri Pink and Yellow Surface Cruiser, was engulfed by a monster rooster. After nearly an hour the fish was landed and scaled 105.6 Lbs. ( 48 Kilos ) The fish was caught using a Shimano Stratic 6000 reel and Power pro 30 lb test line.. The fish measured 64" long with a girth of 36". Had this fish been in any line class but 30 lb., it would haver been a new world record. The 30 lb. current record was taken in La Paz, checking in at 114 lbs. Congratulations on a very unique catch.
