Ixtapa- Zihuatanejo Fish Report- The Independent Sportfishing Fleet
11-5-2009
Larry Edwards
Captain Temo Verbooned, owner of a couple of the areas finest super
pangas, forwarded a really upbeat fishing report for the Zihuatanejo
area, offering crystal clear blue water all over and excellent
fishing for dorado, sailfish & yellowfin tuna with good fishing at
less than 5 miles from the entrance to the Bay. Temo says there are
currently big schools of dorado close to shore and the best bait has
been the live anchovies when available. Sailfish are biting good at
about 10 miles offshore and there has been superb action for the fly
fishing anglers. Close to the shoreline, the roosters are still
biting well, especially on live bait and the red & white pencil
poppers. He says there is currently a notable change not only in the
fishing conditions but in the numbers of anglers starting to visit
the docks as the entire area is regaining the much needed tourism input.
IZ Climate: Sunny & clear to partly cloudy days with temps from 70
nights to 94 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Superb conditions with bristol clean waters just a
few miles offshore and temps at 84 inshore to 85 offshore, with light
tropical surface winds and little swell.
Best Fishing Area: Inshore is perking-up with fair catches of
roosterfish and jack cravelle. Offshore at 5 miles or so, the dorado
bite is exceptional and even some yellowfin tuna in the mix. At 10
miles, the sailfish bite starts and has been going strong right
through the full moon.
Best Bait/Lure: Anchovies best for the dorado but goggle eye working
well, too. Rigged baits for the sailfish and streamers for the fly
fishing anglers.
Bait Supply: Remains plentiful right through the full moon.
