In all the years I have reported fishing results for Mazatlan, I have never had a fish report like this past week. Perhaps it's just a "sign of the times" for the economy in conjunction with the off-year for fishing results? Usually, September is very good offshore fishing and produces excellent results with billfish, including sailfish, black & blue marlin, but not this year. The boats sat idle for most of the week, not getting out at all and when they finally did, there were no fish caught. There was only a single dorado taken aboard one of the super pangas for a single outing this past week and no fish taken in the offshore areas.
