Ixtapa- Zihuatanejo Fish Report- The Independent Sportfishing Fleet

7-23-2009
Larry Edwards

Unbelievably clear water, according to Captain Temo Verboonen, as we can see the bottom at 20 meters. The inshore action remains very good with good jack cravelle catches at the rocks and plenty of dorado still in the area. The sailfish bite was a little slower this past week but remained close to the bay at 7 miles. Roosterfish are still on the rampage and the best action is on the red-white pencil poppers casted in the surf line. The roosters are hanging in the surf line where the waves break.

IZ Climate: Partly cloudy days and warm nights, with temps from 72 nights to 94 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Excellent! 88 degrees inshore and rising to 89 degrees offshore, with very little swell and light surface breezes.

Best Bait: For the type of fishing going on right now, I recommend live bait when available, as well as red & white pencil poppers in the 8-inch sizes.

Live Bait Supply: No problem at all for the caballiots.
