Captain Adolfo, Dos Hermanos I, reporting for 19 fishing days with French client, Mr. Jean-Piere Misseri, reflected 24 sailfish, 6 dorado, 5 roosterfish, 193 jack cravelle, 202 bonito, 128 sierra, 47 needlefish, 48 green jacks, 12 grouper, 3 red snapper, 18 pompano, 6 rock grouper, 4 tiger grouper, 3 palometa, 4 dorada, 2 bone fish and 1 rainbow runner, for an action packed fishing vacation. Captain Temo, reporting for his super panga, "Secuestro De Amor", reflected 17 sailfish, 5 dorado and 14 jacks for the past week, fishing only a couple of days.

I/Z Climate: Mostly sunny days with temps from 72 nights to 89 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Excellent, calm, very blue water just 3 miles from the Zihuatanejo Bay entrance and temps that ranged from 78 inshore to 82 offshore.

Best fishing area: Around the white rocks at Morros de Potosi for the inshore fishing and almost anywhere from about 3 miles offshore for the billfish.

Best Lure/Bait: The jacks were very active on almost any type of artificial presented, with red & white pencil poppers being one of the best, following live bait. The billfish bit very well on the rigged trolling baits.
