Author Name: Susan Richards/Stan Lushinsky

The Spring turnover continue to take place with some excellent offshore and inshore action ob some days. Consistent with the turnover time are some days when the bite just doesn't happen and that was the case last week in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo. Returning New Jersey angler Herb Houghton picked the three best days and he scored 3 SAILFISH and 3 YELLOWFIN TUNA along with 1 ROOSTERFISH while fishing aboard the
Vamonos 3 with Capt. Chiro. One his second day offshore with Capt. Adolopho Mr. Houghton landed 60 YELLOWFIN TUNA. On his final day of inshore fishing, Mr. Houghton landed 24 YELLOWTAIL JACKS and 2 ROOSTERFISH. Angler Bob Mitchner also fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos landed 3 SAILFISH on his first day offshore. Cabela's Outdoors Adventures director, Gregg Severenson fishing aboard the Vamonos 3 landed 1 SAILFISH and 9 YELLOWFIN TUNA. The blue water is coming closer every day and the hot band of action is just about 10 miles offshore. The supply of bait continues to be high and as the water conditions improve so should the bite. The following Months of May, June, July, and August are the very best for some great inshore roosterfishing.
SPECIAL NOTE:: Ixtapa Sportfishing Charters has been the feature of an article written by Ken Schultz for the MAY issue of FIELD & STREAM MAGAZINE. The Title of the article is ' Down Mexico Way.' Additionally, Mr. Schultz has featured Ixtapa Zihuatanejo as one of the premier fishing destinations in his new book 'Spectacular Fishing ' Autographed copies of Ken's New Book can be purchased by contacting Ken on his web site at www.kenschultz.com or email at ken@kenschultz.com or you can place orders for Ken's new book at any books store using the following
