Mazatlan Fish Report- The Aries Sportfishing Fleet

8-27-2009
Larry Edwards

The dorado action at the buoys is still providing some good action, but it is not in the high numbers of a couple of weeks ago. Still, the average is 9 dorado per super panga fishing day and that does make for some fun fishing. The overall catches for 6 super panga days reflected 53 dorado and 1 sailfish. The offshore fishing is offering a good chance for sailfish and reflected about a 60% chance to land a sail, with a few dorado and yellowfin tuna in the mix. Overall offshore counts for 12 days fished reflected 7 sailfish, 7 dorado and 11 yellowfin tuna, (to 85 lbs.). According to Geronimo Cevallos, they had a couple of the bigger black marlin hooked up this past week, but none were landed.
