Ixtapa - Zihuatanejo Fishing Report
2-17-2011
Larry Edwards
Captain Temo Verboonen reported good fishing in a couple different
areas with a sustained yellowfin tuna bite at 20-30 miles offshore
for the skippers that were able to locate the porpoise schools. Both
blue & striped marlin showed up in the catches this past week, as did
the sailfish. Captain Chiro Barrigan, skipper of the "Bloody Hook",
reported 8 sailfish for 4 days fished, (all released) 3 jack cravelle
and a 30 lb. dorado, along with a number of bonito. According to
Temo, the spinning tackle was working well for some of the boats
using 1 oz. Luna Lures, while fishing in close to the rocks. They
produced fair catches of bonito, big eye jacks & jack cravelle, a few
amber jack and Sierras. There were a few roosterfish but it has been
very hard to locate them with the green water along the shoreline areas.
IZ Climate: Mostly sunny & warm days and very pleasant evenings and nights that reflected temps from 67 degrees to 88 degrees for daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Lots of greenish waters tthroughout the area, especially inshore and out to about 10 miles and then there's a band of cleaner water for about 8-14 miles and then turns very green outside the 1000 fathom curve.
Best Lure/Bait: Sailfish best on rigged baits as were the marlin, too. The dorado was taken on a lure, (unspecified). Small Luna Lures worked well around the rocks for a variety of jacks, bonito and a few amberjacks.
Bait Supply: Remains consistently very good for this are with plenty of live bait and bait for rigged trolling.
