Excellent fishing just a few miles outside Zihuatanejo Bay, offering terrific action on sailfish, lots of oceanic (skipjack) tuna and a sustained good bite on the bigger dorado. According to Captain Temo Verboonen, there are many logs floating around the area and nearly all are holding good sized dorado which he claims is one of the benefits of the rainy season that opens the river mouths. While the inshore fishing has been "iffy" this past week due to high swells and big waves, Temo believes the roosterfish will still be chomping at the baits and poppers once the swells settle down. He adds, the biggest problem for us at this time of year is the lack of anglers at the pier in the morning that is severely limiting the numbers of boats fishing.

IZ Climate:
Mostly cloudy days with temps from 71 nights to 91 daytime highs and a 50-60% chance of thundershowers for the next few days. Hurricane Dora is hanging off the coast at about 200 miles, moving along to the northwest at 16 mph. This is going to be a category 4 hurricane by Friday with sustained winds at 131 to 155 mph, but is tracking wnw and not likely to go ashore.

Sea Conditions: Big swells and southeasterly winds making fishing inshore impossible and somewhat uncomfortable offshore. Sea temps holding stable at 85-86 degrees and excellent blue water at 7 miles from the Bay entrance.

Best Fishing Area:
Starts att just 7 miles straight out from Zihuatanejo Bay.

Best Lure/Bait:
Rigged baits working well for the sailfish and rapalas working well for the oceanic tuna, (skipjack tuna).

Bait Supply:
Good bait supply that remained readily available inside Zihuatanejo Bay.
