According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the beginning of the week was all bad weather and the port was closed for two days. The roosterfish bite remains \"hot\" at Pantla Beach and the sailfish are still within two miles of the beach, along with some big dorados. The water, however, is starting to discolor from the rains and run- off and things could change rapidly. It was another week of very slow going for the charter boats, with just a few people going fishing. Some of the boats are starting into their annual maintenance programs, with a positive view towards the next season.

IZ Climate: Some sunny days, some cloudy days and some rain in the night. Temps from 69 nights to 90 daytime highs and humid on the cloudy days.

Sea Conditions: Very windy in the early week but calming off and becoming readily fishable, with stable sea temps holding at 85 degrees throughout the area.

Best Bait/Lure: Live bait best for the roosterfish but red/white pencil poppers were also working well.

Live Bait Supply: Good at the Zihuatanejo Bay area, (mostly caballitos & mullet) and smallish bonito were available at the fishing grounds.
