Captain Temo Verboonen reported that the fishing has been nothing short of excellent for the past week or so and the action focused on sailfish, lots of good sized dorado, (to 50-plus lbs.)and yellowfin tuna and it's all mixed together with the skipjack tuna, (aka oceanic tuna) and just a short few miles outside the Zihuatanejo Bay entrance. The inshore action has been very good for roosterfish, from smaller to big fish and big jack crevelle. Even a few Spanish mackerel, (Sierra) and dorado are biting and adding to the inshore excitement. We are starting to see some of the river mouths open up and drain off into the ocean and that should soon start the snook action for the inshore anglers.

IZ Climate:
Mostly cloudy with late PM & night rains and temps from 71 nights to 90 daytime highs. Humidity level is high. Tropical depression #3-E is right out front today and blowing at 35-45 mph, heading northwest and will be out of the area by tomorrow.

Sea Conditions:
Overall, it has been near excellent but the change came this morning with Tropical depression #3-E, roughing up the water and accompanied with high surface winds. Sea temps remain stable at 84-85 degrees throughout the area and the water is deep blue at about 5 miles from the Bay.

Best Fishing Area:
The good fishing starts at about 5 miles at the clean water break and goes outbound from there. According to Captain Temo Verboonen.

Best Lure/Bait:
The 2 oz. ranger lures are working very well for the inshore fishing and the live baits, too. The roosters have been hot on almost everything dragging through the water. The offshore fishing has been consistent on the rigged baits for the billfish and dorado and the tuna feathers, cedar plugs, ranger lures are all working very well for the yellowfin tuna.

Bait Supply:
An excellent bait supply for both, rigged trolling baits and live bait (caballitos).
