Mazatlan Fish Report- The Aries Sportfishing Fleet
11-12-2009
Larry Edwards
Another great week of Mazatlan sportfishing and fun-filled fiestas at
the Marina El Cid. The fishing has picked up considerably,
especially for sailfish, and even with a few hands-full of yellowfin
tuna. "Aries VIII" released the only blue marlin for the week with
the MDM group charter and the "Aries I" was high billfish boat with 5
sailfish for one day, (November 6th), also with the MDM charter
group. The overall fish counts for a combined total of 63 boat days
fished reflected 1 blue marlin, 6 stripers, 48 sailfish, 36
yellowfin tuna and 118 dorado. According to Geronimo Cevallos, the
Marina/Fleet Manager, the boats had many opportunities at the
billfish but the fish were not overly eager to snap at the rigged
baits, the lures or even live bait. Even with the stubborn bite, the
boats managed to eke out a near 1 billfish per boat average, which is
the best so far this season.
Mazatlan Climate: Mostly sunny and warm days with temps from 64
nights to 88 daytime highs. Mostly sunny and warm days, temps from
64 nights to 88 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Near Excellent! From the shoreline out to 10 or so
miles, temp at 84 degrees and falling to 82.5 degrees from there on
out. Very light surface breezes and very little swell condition.
Best Fishing Area: Seems like the better bite was out to the south
to southwest of the Marina, 20 miles or so, but good fishing was had
over a wide-spread area all the way out to 30 miles.
Best Bait/Lure: Rigged trolling baits were best for the billfish &
the dorado. The yellowfin were biting the tuna feathers best.
