Captain Temo Verboonen offered an excellent fishing report for this past week, reporting that the sailfish action had been "very productive" for the anglers, along with a fairly sustained bite on dorado to 30-plus pounds or so and even a return on the marlin, both catches and releases. The in shore areas are offering good schools of Sierra Mackerel by Ixtapa Island, lots of jack cravelle and bonito and even a few roosterfish showing up near the sandy beaches. Lots of sardinas throughout the inshore areas keeping the game fish aggressive for the anglers.

I/Z Climate: Mostly sunny, warm and clear days with temps from 68 nights to 87 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Almost daily changing conditions that the skippers have to adapt to rapidly, with the fishing changing by the day from 15-25 miles offshore. Inshore waters a bit cool at 78-79 and rising to 82-83 at about 8 miles offshore, but off color and greenish tint. Blue water starting at about 15 to 18 miles or so and temps fairly stable at 84 degrees. Going outbound to 25-30 miles or so with conditions that have been changing almost daily.

Best Bait/Lure: Rigged baits are hot on the sailfish and dorado, too. Inshore, live bait for the jack cravelle, pencil poppers working well, too. Sierra like the strip baits and smaller shinny lures, small poppers and streamers, too.

Bait Supply: Good supply of both, live bait and fresh dead bait for rigging.
