Captain Temo Verboonen reporting for the fleet said the fishing was much improved and the action at just 8 miles from Zihuatanejo Bay was excellent and produced numerous very fast strikes that necessitated being on rod standby to set the hooks. He said there was still a very good supply of dorado throughout the area and nearly all boats were have a 2-4 fish success rate everyday. The marlin numbers fell off some this past week but that may have been due to the boats fishing closer and not getting offshore to the 20-30 mile mark. In shore fishing was very slow for the week and only provided a few boats with mediocre action on the jack cravelle.
