Overall, it was just fair fishing for the offshore fleet this past
week with 71.4% of the boats reporting billfish catches. That being
said, there were only a total of 7 offshore fishing days for the week
that reflected 5 stripers for the fleet's effort. The numbers of
charters has again declined for this area and tends to reflect poorly
for the catching by the fishing fleet. However, percentage wise, the
overall fleet performance stands out well for their anglers. The
inshore super pangas reflected a 9 day fishing effort that produced
very good action for the anglers and reflected 55 pargo, 4 baqueta, 1
cochito, 15 roncachos, limits of morjarres, 1 lora, 1 Sierra and 23
jack cravelle.
Mazatlan Climate: Mostly sunny & warm days with unseasonably cool nights. Temps from 48 nights to 80 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Light, northerly surface breezes in the 5-10 knot ranges, but little swell and mostly calm. Sea temps from 67 inshore and rising to 72 offshore at about 18-20 miles out to the south of the Marina El Cid.

Best Fishing Area: Out to the south of the Marina El Cid, 18-5 miles or so, but no real concentration of fish.
