Early trip report

Staying in Zihuatanejo for the first time in 10 years at La Casa Que Ve Al Mar, very nice and different from Ixtapa high rises. First morning went on a crazy hike on the road from La Ropa towards the airport, continued on to Coacoyul. It was a good climb, phone said 46 floors but would not walk to Coacoyul as there is too much traffic. Took the wife back there for dinner and we found a good restaurant that served chicken tinga it was very good.

Second morning was family fishing day. Got to the pier at 7:00 grabbed some food and fished until 10:00 when Isla Ixtapa opened. Caught 8 bonitas, 1 sierra and 1 cocinar fish. We had 2 bonitos grilled, the cocinar fish fried whole and the sierra for ceviche, what an excellent lunch. Later the wives will stay and we will go for dorados and tuna. I have been fishing with Ramon Olea, always a good day on the water with Ramon.

Only meal we had at a familiar place was dinner Saturday at La Porteña. Excelente place for a family meal and very reasonable. I always like to take Ramon’s family there. 9 of us, 3 large pizzas, 5 pastas and 10 drinks(fishing next morning) and the total was almost exactly $2,000 mxn. The last 3 times they have put us in the side room with ac, not really needed now but last October it was a blessing. Weather right now is perfect, not too crowded and everything seems to be opened.

Glad to see you got some nice fishing in with Ramón. Had some fresh dorado the other day, and I've seen a few at the market, so they're still around. Same with the tuna, but I suspect they're way out there if you want to take the ride.

Thanks for the report! ¡Saludos!

Sailfish and a few sprinkled Dorados are still doing well at 22-24 miles.
