| Not all animals with the word fish in their names count as fish. |
| Though their names may suggest otherwise, cuttlefish, starfish, and jellyfish aren’t actually fish. Generally-speaking, fishes must have skulls, gills, and fins. Surprisingly, though, not all fishes have proper spines. |

HALIBUT – A few throughout the bay on the sandy beaches
SIERRA – Look for bird schools in the open part of the bay or at the pier.
ZIHUATANEJO, MAINLAND MEXICO
IN GENERAL: The 78º blue water is only 6 miles off the beach, but the game fish do not seem to be here. Very few dorado and sailfish are being taken by the fleet each day.
The one exception is the blue marlin and the occasional large tuna. They both prefer the same water temperatures, eat the same sized bait, and the black skipjack tuna seem to be the targeted bait. The skippies are here in abundance. There was one day this week with four blue marlin being taken, and every day is accounting for at least 1. Most are being caught by slow trolling one of the large live baits.
Roosterfish action is also very slow in the surf lines, but this is normal for this time of the year.

SAN JOSE, GUATEMALA
IN GENERAL: Talk about the eye of the beholder. Depending on who you talked to, the fishing was great to just OK. High boat for the week checked in with an impressive 36 sailfish released compared to the fleet average of 10 a day. Either way, not shabby.
