Ixtapa- Zihuatanejo Fish Report- The Independent Sportfishing Fleet
6-18-2009
Larry Edwards
According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the tuna and marlin have all but
disappeared from the area, but the sailfish are making a showing
within two miles of the entrance to Zihuatanejo Bay. The rainbow
runners are biting well, along with dorado, around the "White Rocks",
(Morro de Potosi). The roosterfish bite has gained momentum in the
Valentin River mouth, 15 miles south of Zihuatanejo and there are big
schools of bonito and jack cravelle. The roosters are mixing in with
the jacks in the deeper water and the live bonito are working well in
the Z-wing downriggers. Still, very few boats fishing the area right
now, making it more difficult to keep track of the fish.
IZ Climate: Mostly cloudy days with rain in the night, temps from 72
nights to 90 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Overall, excellent, with temps from 87 inshore to 88
offshore and good clarity.
Best Lure/Bait: Live bait for the roosterfish, rigged baits for the
billfish.
Bait Supply: Very good from the harbor and easily replenished with
bonito in the roosterfish area.
