Take apart a steelhead spin-and-glow. Slide a small bead down your leader on top of your hoochy ( plastic skirt )
slide on the spinner. Looks great trolling for halibut, stripers. Probably makes some noise too while going through the water.. Have fun |

JUNE 22, 2007
The effects of the red tide have begun to diminish. Although not completely gone, the red tide continues to affect the consistency of the fishing in the Ixtapa Zihautanejo area. In what has to be the strangest start to our summer season, our captains reported both good days and bad days for the week. Inshore captain Adolofo fishing 4 days with Angler Mr. Michalsky in Pouerto Vincentee Guerrero landing 29 Yellowtail jacks, 7 Roosterfish to 55 lbs as well as 1 African Pompano. The fish were caught on lures because the ability to get live bait was shut down because of the red tide. There were no big Eyes or Cocineros in the bay. Captain Adolofo reported raising more Roosterfish during the 4 days but they were reluctant to strike. Returning angler Mr. Larry Chandler fishing with Both Adolofo and Temo on the Secuestro landed a mixed bag of Bonitos and Jacks on the fly. His largest Jack on the fly pushed the scales to nearly 25 lbs. Several roosters came within casting distance but would not make the transfer to the fly. Offshore Captain Chiro on the Bloody hook reported raising several Sailfish but they were unwilling to bite. Several Marlin were reported this past week as well. Angler Mr. Mark Peterson fought a huge Yellowfin Tuna for nearly two hours before it parted company far too early. At week’s end the red had had reportedly move south to Acapulco however it is too early to say if it is gone for good.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather: Sunny temps in the 90’s
Sea Conditions: Calm to Moderate
Bait Supply: Fair
Sincerely,
Stan Lushinsky
