http://www.cortezcharters.comAnother outstanding fishing report comes from Zihuatanejo, Mexico, as the big bite on sailfish and dorado continues to captivate angler interests. According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the bite begins at about 7 miles from the Bay, along the tide/current line, that contains logs and trash that has promoted the food chain fishing action for the anglers. The area is just full of life with lots of bait, bids, dorado and sailfish. a Mr. Jan & Mr. Fred, from Holland, landed 6 sailfish, 8 dorado 15 jack crevalle and lots of bonito during their charter aboard the Secuestro De Amor. Near the White Rocks the sailfish bite was phenomenal with lots of sailfish action. The inshore fishing picked up considerably about mid-week and is still producing some quality sized roosterfish in the Saladita Beach front area. Overall, the boats were averaging multiple strikes each fishing day and averaging 4-5 fish per day with many releases.
