THE ARIES SPORTFISHING FLEET

Just when we thought the area was rising from the doldrums, back the area fell to tough fishing and difficult catching for the offshore fishery. While the water temps remain good, the clarity is just so- so and the water has a greenish tint to it that can have a big effect on the fishing. The overall catches for the offshore fleet for 25 days fished reflected 2 stripers released, 1 sailfish released, 1 mako shark, 2 yellowfin tuna and 2 dorado. The inshore fishing was again a much brighter area of action that was abundant with a good bite almost all the time. The overall catches for 8 days fished inshore reflected limits of Mojarres, limits of Roncachos, 9 palometas, 21 pargo and 12 jack cravelle, (toro).

Mazatlan Climate: Mostly cloudy days with temps that ranged from 58 nights to 83 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: The inshore temps were stable at 75 and the offshore was stable at 74. However, both areas had the greenish color tint that can have a dramatic effect on the fishing.

Best Fishing Area: None reported, as the boats fished close, far, northerly and southerly, all searching for a bite.
Best Bait/Lure: Rigged baits for the marlin & sailfish. Shrimp & squid for the inshore fishing.
