Ixtapa- Zihuatanejo Fish Report- Independence Sportfishing Fleet

According to Captain Temo Verrboonen, the blue water has moved offshore to about 30 miles and the sailfish and marlin have simultaneously made the same move, albeit, a few strikes are still taking place in the off colored water and inside the 30 mile mark. The roosterfish bite was a little off but they did locate some good action in the Guerrero area and good catches on the Jack Cravelle at the mouth of the Velentin River. Temo said the roosterfish were chasing the pencil poppers with 3-4 fish following every cast and the Jack Cravelle bit real well on 3.5 oz. mega bait lures.

I/Z Climate: Mostly sunny and warm days, temps from 71 nights to 91 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Very light winds and good temps, but the clarity was the major deficit for the area.

Best Lure/Bait: Pencil poppers, typically in the red/white colors are always hot in this area and the 3.5 ox. megabaits were working well for the jacks. Offshore, rigged baits were best for the billfish.
