A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Ah, okay, have been filled in on the Temple joking - 
haven't been residing in these parts long enough and 
this has proved way too transient a place for marlin 
captains for any of that history to linger here.

Antonio, here it is. The skirt seems to work better cut down an inch so the overall length is 10". From what I understand, it's essentially the Black Bart Mini 1656, and since Gerry Bost used to manufacture lures for Bart, he kept making more or less the same lures under his own names. Folks have had little luck in Huatulco with anything over 12" - my largest marlin I lost hit a Moldcraft Wide Range Standard about 8.5" - and my tendency has been to keep everything in the 9-11" range. Seems to be a small bait fishery in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. We have way more coldwater nutrient upwellings in tropical waters than anywhere else on the Pacific Coast, due to the regular Tehuantepec gales coming out of the Isthmus, and it really seems to make the feeding behavior a bit different than other places.
