A terrific weather week that provided a calm ocean and a defined clarity line that resulted in some very good fishing for the anglers. According to Captain Temo Verboonen, owner of the "Secuestro De Amor", the hot fishing area this past week was in the 14-20 mile zone and especially along the current lines that held floating logs and debris that were holding good numbers of bigger dorado, (some fish to 50 lbs.) and eager to bite at the live baits. There was good sailfish action throughout the week and most of the boats had multiple chances on each fishing day, adding to their dorado action. The inshore action has picked up considerably as the jack cravelle arrived in force, along with Sierras and bonito. The inshore water clarity is still a bit on the murky color side and most of the roosterfish that were caught came from the area some 30 miles south of Zihuatanejo Bay. Overall, it was a fun fishing week that provided sustained surface action for the anglers, both inshore and offshore.

IZ Climate: Mostly sunny and pleasant days with an occasional passing cloud and temps that varied from 74 nights to 93 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Calm seas and excellent surface temps from 85 inshore to 87 offshore, with good clarity at about 14 miles.

Best Fishing Area: Beginning at the distinct clarity break at 14 miles and on out to about 20 miles.

Best Bait/Lure: The rigged baits were hot for the sailfish and live bait was the ticket for the bigger dorado.

Bait Supply: All bait was readily available through the week.
