How's the fishing been?

I'm supposed to go fishing with my old Zihua Neighbor this weekend.
He's a local but has been too busy to go fishing. Him and I have been trying to get together for a trip for about 4 years.
So... What do you say? What has been getting caught lately?

It's a big ocean,Always something hungry

This is a very small sample. Went fishing earlier this week. left at 8:30 and came back in at 1:30. Five of us and a captain. We caught and released a sailfish, probably around 70 lbs. No mahi, no snapper, but at least we didn't get skunked. Saw dolphins swimming along side the boat, a sea turtle and a whale, so not all bad. Also, the cost of going fishing is now competitive with golf now that those rates have doubled.

Fishing has been VERY slow for this time of year. I took two blanks until Wednesday. Fished south not out of ZIH.
We caught two Sails, a Mahi and 3 Yellow fin tuna.
Some boats that day took blanks too.

Good Luck!

We caught 8 Black Tuna, a big Mahi got away.
A great time was had by all.

We call them barrilete here. Delicious for tiritas. Glad you all had a good time!

Blackfin Tuna (atún de aleta negra) only live in the Atlantic and Caribbean.

If it looked like either one of these then it was a barrilete.

Wrong or not, the same fish has three names here. Barrilete, Bonito's, Black Tuna.

Another local fish merchant friend called them Skip Jack as well.
