Ixtapa- Zihuatanejo Fish Report- Independence Sportfishing Fleet
1-1-2009
Larry Edwards
The fishing continues to be "red hot" in Zihuatanejo, with most boats
reporting a daily average of 6 billfish strikes per day. The blue
water has moved within 3 miles of shore making a very short run to
the action. Over the past week, the waters have warmed up, which has
really improved the sailfish bite but has somehow put a damper on the
marlin action. There were no marlin reported this past week. The
dorado bite has improved with several fish per day per boat being
reported. The average size of the dorado are in the 20-30 lb.
ranges. Inshore, the warm clear waters has made the roosterfishing
difficult, albeit, several nice roosterfish were reported for the
week. The inshore action continues to be dominated by large
yellowtail jacks, (jack cravelle) and Spanish mackerel, (Sierra).
Mega baits continue to be the hot lure for the jacks and sierra and
live bait and red & white pencil poppers being best for the roosterfish.
IZ Climate: Partly cloudy days but toasty warm days in the upper
80's. Temps ranging from 69 nights to 87 daytime highs.
Sea Condittions: Excellent, calm, very light swell, gentle surface
breezes and temps that are 82 inshore and rising to 85-85 offshore.
Bait Supply: Remains very available.
