http://www.cortezcharters.comThe offshore FAD buoys continue to provide the mainstay of the action for the dorado anglers. While not nearly as prolific as it has been over the past 5 months, it is still very good fishing for dorado in the 15-35 lb. ranges and an occasional 40-50 lb. offering. The offshore cruisers seem to be finding the larger dorado outside and southwest of the buoys and
overall have been averaging 3-4 per boat per fishing day. The inshore super pangas continue to do well and have been averaging 7-8 dorado per fishing day around the buoys. The overall fish counts for the offshore waters reflected 3 sailfish, 1 tuna and 36 dorado for 10 days fished and the inshore super pangas reflected 30 dorado for 4 days fished.
Mazatlan Climate: Partly cloudy days and thinning out to just a few passing clouds with temps hat ranged from 66 nights to 90 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: It's been a good weather week with nearly calm sea surface conditions and water temps that remained stable at 85 inshore and 86.5 offshore.
Best Fishing Area: The dorado bite was best at the buoys.
Best Bait/Lure: Rigged baits were responsible for the billfish and a few of the dorado. However, live bait was the hot ticket for the bigger dorado.
Bait Supply: The bait supply remains excellent for both live and rigged dead baits.
