Across the Sea of Cortez from and slightly south of Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan may receive less attention, but can offer world-class billfishing -- and at bargain-basement prices. Shots per day (prime season): **
You could figure on a half-dozen shots on average during the sailfish season, and you wouldn't be far off most days. Size of fish: ***
Pacific sails in this area average 70 pounds. They do get a good bit larger, however -- witness the 198-pound monster taken here in 1954, still the men's 80-pound line-class world record. Release: *
Some Mazatlan charter fleets release all billfish. While not all charters automatically release sails, most will comply with anglers who request release. Distance to fish: ***
A run of 15 or so miles will put you in prime sailfish grounds. Length of prime season: ***
While in most areas, sailfish season runs for several months continuously. Prime months are split here, with May-June and November-December the best bets. Ocean conditions/weather: ***
Rough weather's the exception here; most often, the ocean varies from calm to a light sea. Charter boats, availability/quality/crews: ** Convertibles in the 28- to 33-foot range have generally very experienced crews. Charter boats, cost (per day): *
At $350-$400 per day, Mazatlan charter boats offer one of the Pacific's best blue-water fishing bargains. Accommodations: ***

Great shopping and dining in town; extensive beaches (with some good roosterfish action along them). Travel costs: **
While better deals are more likely out of Los Angeles or Houston, from Miami you'll likely spend $700-$800.

Striped Marlin on the Move
By Albia Dugger / SportsMagazine all rights

Q: Is there any difference between the striped marlin found off the Pacific coast of Mexico and those found on the other side of the Pacific? Have striped marlin ever been caught in the Atlantic? -Wes Henredon, Rosemont, California sportfishing mexico

A: The striped marlin is the most widely distributed of all Pacific billfishes, yet studies show that the genes of populations from separate parts of the ocean differ slightly from each other. A striped marlin from Mexico or Ecuador, for example, has DNA markers different from those of a striped marlin from Hawaii or New Zealand. On the other hand, as a species the striped marlin is almost identical genetically to the Atlantic white marlin.
Genetic evidence suggests that striped marlin either stick very close to home or return to a home area each year to spawn; however, striped marlin are known to travel great distances. Although theoretically residents only of the Pacific and Indian oceans, some striped marlin do occasionally round the southern tip of Africa and are caught on the Atlantic side of the Cape of Good Hope. According to records, one stray individual was caught off Angola, West Africa.
Studies are under way to determine if striped marlin should be placed under stricter regulations to preserve their genetic diversity. How often fish from populations in various parts of the Pacific migrate and interbreed is a key question. Like other billfishes, striped marlin tend to follow warm-water masses for food. Under the right water conditions, it's possible for a striped marlin to end up almost anywhere. sportfishing mexico
