Just a fabulous fishing week from Mazatlan, both inshore and offshore and another week of limit fishing for the dorado. The offshore fishing produced 1 blue marlin, (280 lbs.) taken aboard the \"Aries I\", skippered by Captain Jose Zamora, along with 6 yellowfin tuna to 80 lbs. and 3 dorado, for a single fishing day. Overall offshore catches for 7 fishing days reflected 1 blue marlin, 6 sailfish, 12 dorado and 17 yellowfin tuna, (most of the tuna were quality fish in the 75-90 lb. range). There were 17 inshore fishing days that again reflected limit fishing for dorado and many releases. According to Geronimo Cevallos, the fleet manager, the dorado are at all of the buoys, starting at about 6 miles and on out to 20 miles, and holding fish in the 12-20 lb. ranges. \"It\'s a light tackle fisherman\'s dream and the fly fishing enthusiasts are have a field day with the fish\".

Mazatlan Climate: Cloudy days with warm nights at 78 degrees and rising to 91 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Very light surface breezes to about 7 knots from the north with temps holding stable at 83-84 degrees.

Best Fishing Area: The blue marlin was taken at about 20 miles from the Marina. The sailfish and yellowfin tuna were in the same offshore areas at 22-25 miles southwest of the Marina El Cid.

Best Bait/Lure: Ballyhoo are working very well for the dorado at the buoys, as are caballitos, both live & dead, mullet, strip baits and a wide variety of lures. Rigged mullet working best for the sailfish.
