Ixtapa - Zihuatanejo Fishing Report

12-23-2010
Larry Edwards

Captain Temo Verboonen offered an unusual fishing report for this past week that reflected high & low fishing days, some good bite days and some slow bite days and lots of current and movement of the clean and not so clean waters. Temo says that some days the blue water was at 20-25 miles and beyond and the next day at 10 miles and the sailfish were scattered without any concentration. It was the same for dorado and marlin. One day was really good and the next day, at the very same spot, no fish at all. A frustrating fishing day on an every other day basis unless you got very lucky. On the other hand, the inshore fishing was exciting and full of action with the green jacks, jack cravelle and Sierra, chasing the sardines and anxious to bite most anything that wiggled by them. All in all, not a bad week, just a week that kept the skippers' on their toes to keep tracke of where the better fishing was.

IZ Climate: Mostly sunny & warm days with a few clouds here & there and temps that ranged from 68 nights to 86 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Generally, very good, with little swell and light and variable surface winds. Sea temps ranged from 80 inshore and rising to just 81 degrees for the offshore waters.

Best Fishing Area: Changed daily from 10-25 miles with no daily continuity.

Best Lure/Bait: Rigged baits were best for the sailfish, dorado and marlin. Live bait and poppers worked very well for the inshore fish.

Bait Supply: Good supply of both, live bait and rigged baits.
