Tip&Trick Description 1:
I primarily use this rig for King Mackeral fishing on the East coast. The rig is very simple. When using a ribbon fish deep try attaching a single bait hook roughly 8-10 inches above the ribbon fish. This technique will provide more action to the dead ribbon fish and will also appear to the King Mackeral that the ribbon is attempting to feed on the live bait. All avid King Mackeral anglers know that a large king is more acceptable during a feed. I hope that this rig will help add an edge to everyone who fishes live bait for King Mackeral. The rig should be tied as described below:
30 - 50lb barrel swivel to haywire twist, 4 inch #6 leader wire, haywire twist to single bait hook (sz. preference), haywire twist 8 inch #6 wire, Hookup jig head 3/16, haywire twist to 3 or 4 hook stinger setup. No picture is provided due to the length of the rig. The small wire and hooks are not noticable when whole rig is in frame.

Good consistent offshore SAILFISH action continued in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo last week.
First time visitor to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo from Davis California, Mr. Frank Chan, landed 5 SAILFISH and 2 SHARKS on his first day offshore with Captain Cheva on the Dos Hermanos 2. Oregon Angler, Jerry Anthous fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos 1 with Captain Adolofo Espinosa Landed 4 SAILFISH in one day and also broke a rod on another BIG SAILFISH. Cabela's Outdoor Adventure Client's Pat & Beth Flood also fishing aboard the Dos Hermanos 1 landed 6 SAILFISH, 17 RAINBOW RUNNERS, 5 BONITOS, 3 NEEDLEFISH and 1 YELLOWTAIL JACK in 3 days of fishing. Fly Fishing specialist Captain Temo on the Secuestro De Amor while fishing with angler John Benbow went 2 for 9 SAILFISH on a fly. Conditions are near perfect for offshore but the inshore the roosterfish bite has still not developed.
Our congratulations to Captain Adolofo and wife Patrita as they delivered their third child, a baby girl this week. Mom and new born are both doing well.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Weather: Low humidity, temps in the 80's gentle breezes
Sea Conditions: Calm
Bait Supply Excellent
Sincerely,
Stan Lushinsky
