Z Fish Report (2/7/19)

Brian Hetland, with the spin rod and Adolfo Jr.

Offshore (average) surface water temperature - Includes from the 5 - 6 mile mark at the 100 fathom line, then to the 1,000 fathom line being about 32 miles: 82°

Inshore (average) surface temperature. From the beach to about 5 miles: 81°
Blue water: (Chlorophyll amounts and surface temps from Terrafin SST) Almost blue water from the 100 fathom line, to way out. The slight discoloring of the water near the beach has really turned on the inshore fishing for the roosterfish. (See below photo). There are some heavy fresh water discharges from the Rio Balsas to the north, creating green water.



Offshore: Still not good, considering the time of year and moon phase. The boats are averaging two sailfish a day, and no dorado. Also, there is no sign of tuna within 40 miles of the port.
On Tuesday, Adolfo (panga Dos Hermanos) released 4 sailfish for his clients from Poland. On Wednesday, Adolfo Jr. fished with long time visitor Brian Hetland of North Dakota. Brian is a spin fisherman and hooked two nice sails on spin gear. Jr. used his experience with me for teasing for fly fishing, and did the bait and switch.
Adolfo had to rent a 4th panga this year to keep up with the demand. I remember several years ago, when Adolfo told me his son’s future was the inshore and fly fishing, and asked me to train his son. Jr. was 15 and fished with me on weekends and school vacations. He learned well. We fished together until Jr. graduated from high school at the age of 18. He then went on to become the deckhand for his dad. He is now a captain.

after the long run to Puerto Vicente Guerrero





Inshore: The inshore is still holding up very well. There are roosters, but they remain down south at Vicente Guerrero. On Monday, Adolfo made the run and got 8 roosters.
Cheva, on the panga Dos Hermanos II, fly fished with Vico Rust. He was humbled by the large jack crevalle they got into by the white rocks. However, they had some success, and are going out again with Cheva this next Sunday.
Mark Denison, down at La Barrita, didn’t have much time to fish this week. He had a caravan of 14 motor homes pull into his camp site. He was prepared, and had spaces with electrical hookups. Plus, a dump station. The few campers who fished, had a great time from the shore there.
I am going to La Barrita tomorrow to take some stainless steel bolts with me so Mark can mount my leaning post on the bow of the new panga we are using down at Puerto Vicente.
