A truly much improved fishing week from Mazatlan but primarily for the inshore anglers enjoying the super panga action. While the offshore fishing results remained in the doldrums, the inshore action captured "center stage" and reflected a wide variety and mixed-bag catch of 10 species of fish that included 10 pargo, 1 cabrilla, 42 Baqueta, 16 corvina, 1 cochito, 2 loras, 3 lenguas, limits of roncachos, 1 conejo and 10 mojarres for a total of 9 days fished. The offshore waters reflected a single striper for 10 days fished which reflects the cooler, green water that has moved into the area. It could easily mean the early beginning of the swordfish and mako shark season for this area.

Mazatlan Climate: Sunny & warm days with temps to 81 daytime highs and cold nights, down to 44 degrees.

Sea Conditions: Inshore waters at 67-68 degrees and rising to 69-70 degrees offshore at 15 miles and beyond and mostly heavy green tinted all over.

Best Bait/Lure: The billfish was taken on a rigged trolling bait on a blind strike. Shrimp and squid were the preferred inshore baits.

Best Fishing Area: Unquestionably, the inshore fishing provided substantial action for the anglers with constant strikes.

Bait Supply: Remained good for both, live bait and rigged baits.
