Captain Temo Verboonen says the rainy season is upon them and is
changing both the weather and the water. It\'s now blue water inshore
with several schools of dorado, averaging about 15 lbs. and an
excellent bite on quality sized roosterfish, many in the 40-60 lb.
ranges. Lots of rainbow runners and bonito around the rocks and
overall, just very good daily action when the boats do get out.
Offshore provided some good yellowfin tuna acttion at about 25 miles,
with the fish in the 25-30 lb. average ranges. The sailfish bit has
also been quite good but for the most part, they have been very close
inshore, at about 2 miles from the entrance to Zihuatanejo Bay. Most
of the river mouths are now open with water flowing into the ocean
from the rains in the mountains. Need more anglers to take advantage
of the good overall bite.
IZ Climate: Partly cloudy days, temps from 70 nights to 92 daytime
highs.
Sea Conditions: Light surface breezes, good temps, 85 inshore to
86.5 offshore, mostly clean waters.
Best Fishing Area: Sailfish at about 2 miles, tuna at about 25
miles, roosterfish, rainbow runners close to shore.
Best Bait/Lure: Live bait for the roosterfish, rigged baits for the
sailfish and feathers for the tuna.
Bait Supply: Remains good.
