THE INDEPENDENT SPORTFISHING FLEET

Captain Temo Verboonen reports that the fish have moved a little farther offshore for the sailfish, but the bite is extraordinarily good with 15-plus strikes being a common fishing day right now. All of the boats are reporting 5-8 or more releases for their daily fish counts and the crew is having difficulty keeping sufficient rigged baits on hand and ready to go. (Not for a lack of bait but very busy keeping the rigged). In conjunction with the sailfish action, they are still having a few dorado in the mix of the days catches, too, but just not as good as it was a week ago. Inshore fishing is unusually slow for this time of year and the water has turned to a milky green that has apparently moved the fish to cleaner waters to the north.

IZ Climate: Mostly sunny & warm days with temps from 73 nights to 92 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Calm weather throughout the area, calm seas, temps at 83-84 and stable, with excellent clarity in the offshore waters.

Best Fishing Area: The big bite is at 14 miles straight out from the entrance to Zihuatanejo Bay.

Best Bait/Lure: The sailfish are chewing up the rigged baits and definitely prefer the non-skirted baits

Bait Supply: Excellent and readily available.
