Captain Temo Verboonen reports very favorable conditions from Zihuatanejo with warm, blue waters and good fishing just a mile outside the bay. He reports dorado in big schools and they are catching easy limits on a daily basis. The sailfish action has been slow, but not for the lack of fish. Just been a lack of biters. The inshore fishing is red hot for roosterfish in the 40-50 lb. ranges and they have been fairly eager to chew on the pencil poppers and the live bait. The roosters are chasing the anchovey/sardine schools and the bird schools are pointing out the movements of the fish. It\\\\\\\'s fast & lively action for the light tackle anglers. Also in the near shore waters are good catches of rainbow runners and big eye jacks which have been biting best on the trolling feathers and deep-running lures. Overall, Temo says it\\\\\\\'s really fun fishing this are right now and he would expect this type of action to conttinue right on through to the late fall.

IZ Climate: Some cloudy days with temps ranging from 71 nights to 91 daytime highs. Some rain in the mountains tthis past week.

Sea Conditions: Calming off and bluing up with temps at 86-87 from inshore to offshore.

Best Lure/Bait: Rigged baits for the billfish. Live bait & poppers (fast retrieve) for the roosters.
