According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the blue water moved within 7 miles off the entrance to Zihuatanejo Bay and the billfish came right in with it and the full moon had no effect on the bite. In fact, he mentioned that the bite was better than it had been over the dark of the moon, which is unusual. The early bite remains best, especially during the first 3 hours or so and then the fish seem to go deep and showing up as sporadic feeders. Still a good showing of dorado close in and around the rocks and some 60 lb. yelowfin tuna showing up in the offshore waters at about 30 miles. The inshore bite remains very good for the jack cravelle, bonitos and sierra, and the grouper have been biting the rapalas close to the rocks. Overall, it's been good fishing both inshore and offshore.
