Zihuatanejo, Mainland Mexico Fish Report

Gary Graham

Cool water is still the controlling factor, with the blue water moving even further out this week. Six miles off the beach, the water is 76?? at the 100 fathom line and only 80?? at the 1,000 fathom line (30 miles).

Even though there are very few marlin, sailfish and dorado being taken. A very large area of yellowfin tuna has been located at 26 miles. Most of the tuna are averaging between 35 and 45 pounds, with a few larger ones down below the large schools of smaller fish.

Inshore action is still very good for jack crevalle, sierras, chulas, and black skipjack tuna.
