http://www.cortezcharters.comThe inshore action from the Marina El Cid in Mazatlan remains the
most consistent fishing for the area's anglers as the offshore action
continues to be in the doldrum mode. As with the Cabo San Lucas
area, I would expect to see the showing of swordfish from the
offshore waters at Mazatlan, which is so typical of March and April
each year. The overall offshore fish counts for 10 days fished
reflected 2 sailfish released and 3 dorado, which is not a "lot to
write home about" for 80 hours of hard fishing effort. The inshore
catches reflected some variety in the catch for their 7 days of
fishing effort that included 10 barracuda, 5 pargo, 115 roncachos, 10
cochitos, 30 sierra and 74 mojarres.
Mazatlan Climate: Partly cloudy days with temps from 53 nights to 82
daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Light surface breezes and small swells during the
early week that led to 2 days of port closures before getting back to
normal conditions. Surface temps ranged from 70 inshore to 74-75
offshore.
Best Fishing Area: Nothing noted for the offshore waters.
Best Lure/Bait: Rigged mullet caught the two billfish and dorado.
Shrimp & squid for the inshore waters.
