Jan 15, 2003; 09:20PM - Zombie Rig
|

Category: Rigging techniques

Author Name: Wes Partain

Tip&Trick Description 1:
I primarily use this rig for King Mackeral fishing on the East coast. The rig is very simple. When using a ribbon fish deep try attaching a single bait hook roughly 8-10 inches above the ribbon fish. This technique will provide more action to the dead ribbon fish and will also appear to the King Mackeral that the ribbon is attempting to feed on the live bait. All avid King Mackeral anglers know that a large king is more acceptable during a feed. I hope that this rig will help add an edge to everyone who fishes live bait for King Mackeral. The rig should be tied as described below:
30 - 50lb barrel swivel to haywire twist, 4 inch #6 leader wire, haywire twist to single bait hook (sz. preference), haywire twist 8 inch #6 wire, Hookup jig head 3/16, haywire twist to 3 or 4 hook stinger setup. No picture is provided due to the length of the rig. The small wire and hooks are not noticable when whole rig is in frame.

A solid week of good weather and a slight upswing in angling activity set the stage for a good start to this year's fall fishing season. Most of the boats have gone through their annual maintenance schedules and are ready to go. Newest addition to our fleet, The Sirena with captain Alex posted some very good numbers for this week. Alaska angler Larry Bravo who was a die-hard Cabo fan, Landed 2 big SAILFISH 1 DORADO, 5 BONITOS and a monster WAHOO in day offshore aboard the SIRENA. Mexico City anglers Ruben and Arturo Meneses also fishing aboard the Sirena landed 4 SAILFISH,
(2 released ) and 1 big DORADO in 5 hours of fishing. Sandy Thompson from London England also fishing with Captain Alex 4 SAILFISH ( 2 released ) 1 DORADO, 2 BINOTOS and 2 YELLOWTAIL Jacks in on 5 hour period and still had time left in her day to enjoy some great snorkeling and a fresh fish barbque at Ixtapa Island. Returning anglers Vernon Tull fishing aboard the Janeth landed 2 SAILFISH, 1 WAHOO, 4 BONITOS and 5 BIG EYE JACKS in three days of fishing. Captain Adolofo Espinosa
Found a nice school of Roosterfish near Petitland and landed 6 ROOSTERS in one inshore day. Captain Ruben on the Vamonos 1 reports a 2 SAILFISH, 1 DORADO Day and the crew aboard the Vamonos 2 reports 7 SAILFISH and 2 DORADOS in 4 days of fishing. The fishing has certainly picked-up over the past few weeks and barring any unforeseen weather occurrences this year's Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Total Tag & Release tournament should be action packed. Interested anglers are encouraged to contact our office for last minute availability and details. Finally, our ground contact, Able Cortez reported a very special visitor to Zihuataenjo Bay this week - A very friendly Sea Lion which was the attraction for Many locals as well as tourists. The Sea Lion found many people willing to pass out free meals throughout the week and stayed around to enjoy the feast.
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo weather: Gentle breezes temps in the high 80's
Sea Condition: Calm
Bait Supply: Excellent
Sincerely,
Stan Lushinsky
