The sailfish bite is still going strong and there is very good action close to the 12 mile mark, directly out in front of Zihuatanejo Bay. Sailfish are showing up in schools of 3 or more and remain eager to chase the baits and according to Captain Temo Verboonen, the sails are smaller fish, (in the 45-50 lb. ranges) that tend to strike the baits hard and fast, making it a little difficult to get the hooks set. But still, it's good, fast action and it keeps the anglers and crew "on their toes". There are still a few blue marlin being caught and a few of the quality sized dorado, too, but not near as good as the previous week. There continues to be lots of bait, birds and porpoise around and while the porpoise appear to be holding the yellowfin tuna, the fish are being stubborn and won't bite the feathers, cedar plugs or trolled baits when trolled by the pods of porpoise. The inshore fish, especially the jack crevalle, are being stubborn and won't bite the lures. Some Spanish mackerel, (Sierra) are still biting but even they are being difficult to catch.
