The offshore fishing was a little slow this past week and only 27% of the boats landed a billfish. There were some nicer sized dorado taken this past week that ranged to 35 lbs. and a "baker's dozen" on dorado. The inshore fishing the place to be for good action and the super pangas averaged 5 dorado per boat day fished. The overall combined counts for the offshore waters for 11 days fished reflected 3 sailfish, 8 dorado and 13 yellowfin tuna and the inshore super pangas, reporting for 6 days fished, reflected 1 sailfish, 8 pargo, 1 cochito and 32 dorado.

Mazatlan Climate: Mostly cloudy and a little humid with temps from 80 nights to 91 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: 86-87 throughout the area, generally calm with 5-10 knots of surface breeze and a greenish tint out to about 20 miles, then turning to blue.

Best Fishing Area: No specific area was named as the fish were not concentrated in one area and were scattered about.

Best Lure/Bait: The sailfish were taken on rigged baits, the tuna on smaller tuna feathers of varied colors and dorado taken on rigged baits.

Bait Supply: Remains good for both, live bait and rigged baits.
