According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the week in general was near
perfect for sea conditions and overall weather and the fishing
commenced at about 4 miles from the entrance to Zihuatanejo Bay and
continued out to about 10 miles. Very good sailfish catches, (he
used the term, sailfish were very cooperative). Even a couple of
Pacific striped marlin were taken this week, along with a scattering
of dorado and unfortunately, the yellowfin tuna vanished from the
area. The inshore fishing was more difficult this past week with the
fish being very close to the shore line and more finicky than in past
weeks, almost like a seasonal change.
IZ Climate: Partly cloudy but very pleasant and warm days with temps
from 72 nights to 94 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: A very calm week with temps at a stable 85-86
degrees and excellent clarity.
Best Bait/Lure: Rigged baits for the offshore waters for the
sailfish and live bait for the inshore, along with the pencil poppers.
Overall Bait Supply: Excellent
