IXTAPA-ZIHUATANEJO FISH REPORT - THE INDEPENDENT SPORTFISHING FLEET
1-16-2009
Larry Edwards
The full moon had taken it's toll this past week at Ixtapa-
Zihuatanejo and according to Captain Temo Verboonen, the fish bit
less and less through the full moon days. "We can see sailfish
jumping all over, but they seemed to just ignore the baits". Good,
quality-sized dorado are biting at about 15 miles offshore, just to
the outside of the billfish area. Some of the boats were reporting
two to 4 strikes per day and others were reporting none and it
depended on just where you were. Seemed like just a few miles apart
could make a substantial difference in the fishing. This week should
improve considerably as the full moon phase changes into a darker
mode. There's large schools of bait and the jack cravelle and
pelicans are really active in front of Salidita. The close inshore
bite was mostly needlefish and just a bit farther out the sierra bite
was picking up on the Rapalas with 7-9 lb. fish.
IZ Climate: Partly cloudy days, but plenty of warm sunshine with temps ranging from 73 nights to 88 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Calm, temps from 82 inshore and rising to 83 offshore, with clean water at about 5 miles outside the bay.
Best Fishing Area: Starts at about 5 miles and continues outbound from there to about 15 miles.
Best Bait/Lure: Offshore, the fish were very fussy but for those that were successful, the rigged trolling baits were best.
Bait Supply: Bait is readily available.
