Tip&Trick Description 1:
I just returned from a fishing trip on the Fin Fever out of Newport Beach, California and was I impressed with what they used to catch the tunas! We used Yozuri Hydromagnums in the to troll for the albacore tunas. I am telling you these were the hottest lures I have seen in a long time! They removed the front treble hook from the lures to make removal of the lure easier and faster from the fish. After multiple double and triple hookups I am convinced these are the hottest lures around! I asked to take a photo of the lures so I could get some and thanks to the crew and their hot tricks we caught our limit (all we wanted till we were tired of pulling on the fish!) Great trip with a great group of guys!! Hope this photo helps.......Matt |

Jun 26, 2004; 02:08PM - Roosters and Sails Cooking

ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The 80º blue water is still only 1 mile off the beach. For this time of the year, the sailfish action continues to be very good. We are normally a winter fishery and to release a 3 to 4 sailfish per boat per day average, are respectable summer numbers.
I fished with BOF clients Johnny and Fran Deleshaw of Portland, Ore., on the 38-foot “Yellowfin II” with Captain Ruben. We tagged and released two nice sailfish while fly-fishing.
Yellowfin tuna are breezing in and out, and when a school is located under the porpoise or birds, they are really fast movers. It is all a boat can do to just keep up with them. Very few of these tuna are being hooked.
There is a little debris washed out of the rivers form our rains, forming weed lines
inshore. Quite a few small dorado have been holding in these weed lines, making for some decent light tackle fishing.
The roosterfish action has been outstanding. Adolpho on the panga “Dos Hermanos” got 9 again a couple of days ago. All of the fish are averaging between 30- and 42-pounds. Unfortunately, there are very few clients here to take advantage of all this good fishing. Luis Marciel, of the panga “Gringo Loco” and I were talking yesterday about how many roosters were here, but he also made a very true statement, “Now, I just need a client to go get them.”
