The inshore fishing from Mazatlan still provides the anglers with the better action and continues to produce a mixed bag catch of fun- action fish. We had 10 offshore fishing days reported that resulted in 1 striped marlin and 2 mako sharks. However, the skippers did comment that the waters were getting cleaner by the day and the bite should be changing with the clarity of the water. The inshore super pangas reported in for 12 days fished that reflected 57 corvina, 4 jack cravelle, 49 barracuda, 1 conejo, 45 mojarres, 23 pargo, 19 baquetas and limits of rancachos, (a smaller bottom fish).

Mazatlan Climate: Sunny & warm days but cold nights and temps that ranged from 44 nights to 80 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Inshore waters at 64-65 degrees and rising to 68-69 n the offshore waters at about 24 miles. The water clarity was green to about 18 miles, then a much cleaner greenish tinted water that offered more clarity the farther offshore.

Best Fishing Area: None reported.

Best Lure/Bait: The striper and both mako sharks were taken on the rigged trolling baits.

Bait Supply: Excellent bait supply for both, live bait and rigged baits.
