The full moon and falling water temperatures have taken a real toll
for Mazatlan fishing and once again, the skippers are searching far &
wide for the offshore bite. As the cooling trend continues, which is
typical for this time of year, look for a showing of swordfish and
mako sharks to show up in the mix of catches. Overall counts for 26
days fished reflected 11 stripers, 2 dorado and 1 hammerhead shark
for the offshore fishing and 35 mojarres, 20 cochitos and 6 jack
cravelle for 3 inshore super panga fishing days.
Mazatlan Climate: Mostly sunny and warm days, temps from 50 at night
to 83 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Water temps fell this past week to 70-71 inshore and
72-73 offshore, and, along with the full moon conditions, has taken
it's toll on the catching.
Best Fishing Area: The fish are widely scattered and there is no
concentration in any given area.
Best Lure/Bait: Rigged mullet were still working well for the
billfish as was live bait, too, when available.

The interesting part of the catch......
