8-20-2009
Larry Edwards
It's starting to get a little more fishy in Mazatlan, and while
the dorado counts are down a little, the billfish count is up over
50% and the yellowfin tuna are making a good showing with big fish
that ranged to 140 lbs. Overall counts for 22 offshore fishing days
reflected 2 blue marlin, (225 pounders) 11 sailfish, 30
dorado and 22 yellowfin tuna, (a number of the bigger tuna were lost
in the battle). The inshore super pangas were still focusing on the
shark buoys and the dorado counts and landed 58 dorado for a total of
5 fishing days.
Mazatlan Climate: Mostly cloudy days with temps from 77 nights to
91 daytime highs and humid.
Sea Conditions: Excellent temps, 87-88 and stable, with good clean
water and calm throughout the area.
Best Fishing Area: According to Geronimo Cevallos, the bigger
yellowfin tuna, to 120 lbs., were at the 35 mile mark and running
with the porpoise and fairly easy to get to bite on live skipjack
and small jacks.
Best Bait/Lure: The blue marlin were taken on skipjack baits, slow
trolled around the buoys. Tuna, especially the bigger ones, were
taken on live skipjack and small jacks. Overall, live bait was
best for all the fish this week.
