THE IXTAPA-ZIHUATANEJO FISH REPORT - THE INDEPENDENT SPORTFISHING FLEET

Really good news and fishing from the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo area, along Mexico's southern Pacific coast. According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the blue water is right up to the edge of the shoreline and the sailfish bite begins at just under 5 miles from the entrance to Zihuatanejo Bay. Even better, it's an excellent bite with most boats have many strikes each day and numerous opportunities. Adding to the sailfish excitement is the early morning dorado bite, which has also been going strong through the week with mostly quality sized dorado in the 20-40 lb. ranges. Temo says the dorado are hitting the baits especially hard and fast and making it a little difficult to set the hook, but the action is fast and furious. The inshore action has been almost non-existent for the past week, with almost no bonito, Spanish mackerel or roosterfish being caught; probably due to the full moon condition and the incredible clarity of the inshore waters.

IZ Climate: Lots of sunshine and warm days with temps from 72 nights to 91 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Excellent-plus! Temps at 85-86 throughout the area, mostly calm and crystal-clear water.

Best fishing Area: Beginning at about 5 miles from shore.

Overall Bait Supply: excellent, even with the full moon condition.
