Zihuatanejo & Ixtapa - Sportfishing

The Ixtapa Zihuatanejo sport fishing area sits on a relatively straight section of Mexico's southern Pacific coast in the state of Guerrero, centered at about latitude 17 degrees north and well into the tropics, but still subject to variable currents from both north and south. In Ixtapa Zihuatanejo sportfishing waters, the last offshore vestiges and eddies of the distant California Current coming south from Alaska mingle with meandering swirls caused by the warm Equatorial Counter Current to create a constant dance of variable fishing water conditions moving north and south, and in-and-out, from shore. For sportfishing charter boats heading out of Zihuatanejo Bay, the question of the morning is always, "Where's the blue water today?
