Zihuatanejo winter resident and sport angler Tom Wenrich of Lake Oswego, Oregon, scored big at Las Gatas this morning. Casting from the boulder-strewn shore in front of Owen Lee's Beach Club, a dozen fish came to hand and a dozen more struck or chased without hookup in the fifty minutes after first light. The photos show a Pargo (left) and a trumpet fish (right). Conditions were perfect with only two-foot surf and high tide at about 7AM. Tom fished a #7 flyrod, intermediate sink line, and size 6 tan Clouser fly retrived just beneath the surface. The action slowed by 8 AM, but what a morning for Tom! His catch included jacks, pargo, coronet, cabrilla. Tom returned all fish to the salt to fight another day.
