Title: Down in ixtapa
Post by: Hardy Boy on March 22, 2022, 12:36:48 AM
Well the wife and I are down enjoying the sun and relaxing. I went out fishing last Friday and caught some jack cravelle, black Bonita, a needlefish, a trigger fish and a pacific bonito. I have to say the pacific bonito is excellent eating, I had some in cavechie and some fried very good. Offshore water is cold. Go out again Wednesday.

Cheers

Todd

Hey Todd! They open up the borders and Canucks start spilling out all over the place! Enjoy the warm weather and fishing down there. Pacific bonito are indeed tasty, but all I ever seem to catch in Mexico are the dark ones. Speaking of dark, have you ever tried a Jack Crevalle? They're meat is as dark as a chocolate bar!  Cheers! --Rich

March & April often means a cold current along a large stretch of the coast both north
& south of Zihua I wouldn't bother spending too much for a boat ride Sails & Dorado will be hard to find and Tuna far far away.

Well my camera did not work, for real. Said memory card error. I will take the wife's camera on Wednesday. Karl is right as there is no blue water. My captain is good and won't go for sails if the conditions are poor. Hence why we went inshore. He was hoping for pompano. We will see tomorrow.
