Excellent and fast action from Zihuatanejo, according to Captain Temo Verboonen, skipper of the "Secuestro De Amor". Temo says, "the offshore fishing is not very far offshore, just a couple miles out in front of the Bay, with multiple big schools of oceanic tuna, (skipjack tuna) and the big fish are chasing'em. There is an outstanding chance for anglers to catch a black marlin the way things are right now and most of the blacks have been in the 250 lb. size ranges. We are still waiting for the bigger females to move into the area that will liven things up for the anglers and the crews. We are seeing more and more mixing of yellowfin tuna in the skipjack schools that keep everyone's interest peaked. The dorado action is pretty good for some bigger fish and found on the current/garbage line, between the blue and dirty water areas. The sailfish bite has been very good with most boats having an opportunity to release several sailfish during the fishing day. Some of our days are starting off a little slow but bite gets better and better as the day progresses. Now that the storms and big swells have passed by, the super pangas have been able to access the shoreline areas for the roosterfish and jack crevalle and the bite has come back in full swing".
