The mid-week bite on sailfish out to the west of Zihuatanejo Bay was
producing well from about 15 miles off, as the water became cleaner
and warmer, (82 degrees). The areas out to the south and southwest
were very slow with off-colored greenish waters and tmps at about 80
degrees. Even the jack cravelle bite was offshore some 10-plus miles
and it made fishing difficult and confusing, not knowing if the
strike was a sailfish or jack cravelle. No marlin reported for the
week. The area is alive with bonito as the sardinas moved into the
area with the cooler inshore waters which should begin to reflect an
improved fishing result after the full moon phase.
IZ Climate: Sunny, warm and pleasant climate. Temps from 69 nights
to 90 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Mostly calm waters this week but streaky water
conditions, cooler off to the south & southwest and warmer out to the
west.
Best Fishing Area: Out to the west, starting at about 10 miles and
beyond.
Best Bait/Lure: Rapala Magnums working best for the jack cravelle
and sailfish. Seemed like the downrigger trolled rigged baits and
rapalas were doing the job well.
