Skippers are reporting good billfish opportunities for the offshore waters with most of the boats having a daily opportunity at a billfish and the final reports for the week reflected 1 blue marlin, (approximately 225 lbs.) 2 Pacific striped marlin, 4 sailfish, 12 yellowfin tuna, (to 65 lbs.) 27 dorado, (12-25 lbs.) and 1 hammer head shark for a total of 16 days fished. The inshore super pangas, reporting in for 6 days fished, reflected limits of Sierra and Sea Bass, along with 11 red snappers and 4 dorado. This has been a well-rounded, good action fishing week for the inshore and offshore anglers.
Mazatlan Climate: A passing cloud from time to time with excellent sunshine periods and warm days with temps from 58 nights, to 87 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Mostly calm seas this past week with water temps along the inshore at 74-75, (cooler than the last week) and rising to 81 degrees at the 15 mile mark.
Best Fishing Area: The offshore fishing has been best in the 23-28 mile area, out to the southwest of the Marina El Cid.
Best Lure/Bait: The single blue marlin was taken on an artificial while the stripers and sailfish preferred the rigged trolling baits. Tuna were on the feathers and Cedar plugs and live bait and the dorado on the rigged trolling baits and live bait.
Bait Supply: Continues to be in excellent supply for all boats.
