It was truly another sensational fishing week in Mazatlan for the early summer dorado bite that is offering easy limit fishing, excellent dinner fare and terrific non-stop light tackle action. Mazatlan is also starting to see some rebound from the unfortunate flu doldrums and the daily charters are are on their way back up. The shark buoys were again the area hot spot for dorado action that just keeps the anglers super busy on most anything that moves through the water. Overall counts for 20 days in and around the buoys reflected limit fishing and many releases. The offshore boats reflected 4 sailfish and 36 dorado for 4 offshore fishing days.

Mazatlan Climate: Mostly cloudy with temps from 73 nights to 88 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: One lost day to weather in the early part of the week and changing to mostly calm conditions as the week progressed with a little swell from the south, (remnants of the tropical depression) and stable sea temps at 85 degrees.

Best Fishing Area: Southwest of the Marina El Cid, 22-25 miles for the billfish and at the shark buoys for the bulk of the dorado action.

Best Bait/Lure: Rigged baits for the sailfish. Live bait, dead bait, cut bait, strip bait, artificials, pencil poppers, rapalas, etc. If it moved through the water, the dorado chased it.
