Captain Temo Verboonen reported an unusually terrible fishing report for Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, that included much warmer water temperatures, (which was good) that coincided with red tide conditions existing throughout the area that extended from shore and outbound to about 5 miles outside the 1000 fathom curve, (approximately 45 miles offshore). While a few boats did manage to get a few billfish strikes this past week, the water clarity is wreaking havoc on the sportfishing effort and about all they can do is pray for a clarity change for the area. Temo says, in a few words, "we have to wait for this situation to improve".

IZ Climate: Partly cloudy but warm days and pleasant evenings with temps from 67 nights to 89 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Mostly calm and good, warm water, but very off-color with red tide conditions throughout the area.

Bait Supply: Excellent! Has been unaffected by the red tide conditions.
