Ixtapa- Zihuatanejo Fish Report- The Independent Sportfishing Fleet

Just a great photo of the bait, (red & white pencil popper) and the
roosterfish in Zihuatanejo, caught & released by angler Mr. Dan,
fishing aboard the \"Secuestro De Amor\", with Captain Temo Verboonen.
According to Temo, the red & white pencil poppers have been working
exceptionally well this year for the roosterfish, almost as well as
live bait, and the bite has been exceptional, too. The weather has
been near perfect, allowing the boats to fish in tight to the beach,
allowing for hot pencil popper action. The schools of dorado are
moving up in size, averaging near 20 lbs., and the sailfish are
\"really close to land\" and biting very well this past week. Our
problem is lack of anglers and very few fishing days for the entire
fleet.
IZ Climate: Mostly cloudy with temps from 71 nights to 94 daytime
highs and a bit on the humid side.
Sea Conditions: Excellent! Temps are at 84 inshore and rising to 86
offshore, with good clarity close in shore. Mostly calm with little
wind or swell.
Best Fishing Area: The billfish are just \"out in front of
Zihuatanejo Bay\", within just a couple of miles. Good dorado action
from about 2 miles offshore and of course, the roosterfish bite is
good as it gets, with superb action at the Valentin River to the
Antennas. Still lots of rainbow runners at the rocks in front of
Ixtapa.
Best Lure/Bait: Live bait is working superbly but also the red &
white pencil poppers are \"red hot\", too, for those that can cast them
toward the beach.
