http://www.cortezcharters.comThe inshore fishing at Mazatlan continues to be more productive than
the offshore action and the reasons continue to be unexplainable.
Water temps, clarity and feed biomass all seem to be in good order
but the area has lacked in good offshore fishing for the past 30 days
or more. Overall offshore catches for 22 combined fishing days
reflected 2 sailfish, 10 dorado and 3 yellowfin tuna. The six
inshore fishing days produced 2 corvina, 46 pargo, 64 cochitos, 39
mojarres and 1 toro.
Mazatlan Climate: Partly cloudy days in early week and moving into a
sunshine weekend with temps ranging from 52 nights to 83 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Continue to be favorable with good water temps &
clarity, but lacking in fish. Temps are holding stable at 77 inshore
and rising to 78 offshore.
Best Fishing Area: No specific are is noted as there has been no
fish concentration for this area.
Best Bait/Lure: Rigged mullet were the bait of choice for the
sailfish and dorado in the offshore waters and squid and shrimp were
working best for the inshore fishing.
