Ixtapa- Zihuatanejo Fish Report- The Independent Sportfishing Fleet
10-29-2009

According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the waters, following the
effects of Hurricane Rick, have continued to improve to near perfect
fishing conditions. The general fishing starts at about 8 miles
outside the Bay in the deep-purple colored waters, with excellent
dorado action, sailfish and even a bite on the yellowfin tuna. While
the numbers of anglers and charters is still at an all-time low, the
fishing is starting to shape up to the premium levels of this area.
We have been mixing the trolling baits with the artificial and his
has worked extraordinarily well for the sailfish and dorado. Also,
the inshore roosterfish bite is still good but much of the time the
wave action and off colored water prevents the super pangas from
getting close enough to the beach to be productive. However, when
the conditions are right, the bite is great.
IZ Climate: Mostly cloudy days with some evening rains, temps from
74 nights to 92 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Near perfect, mostly calm with very light surface
breezes and very clean purplish waters just a few miles offshore,
temps at 85-86 and stable.
Best Fishing Area: Starts at about 8 miles outside the Zihuatanejo Bay.
Best Bait/Lure: Both, bait and lures have been working well and
mixing the two have been very productive, especially using the green/
yellows and blue/white artificial. Roosters best on live bait and
red/white pencil poppers.
Bait supply: This is one of the areas that seems to almost never
have a bait problem and there is plenty of bait available from day to
day.
