Captain Temo Verboonen reported a very good marlin bite, both black & blues, just 10 miles offshore from Zihuatanejo Bay. Sailfish were biting well in this same area, too and the skippers were reporting multiple strikes on the billfish everyday. Captain Chiro Barrigan, "Bloody Hook", reported 3 sailfish released and another missed for his client, Mr. Del Gallenger and son, fishing on March 23, 2011. He also reported catching several Sierra that they used for trolling for the blacks & blues, but didn't get the lucky bite. The inshore fishing remains good and producing good catches of Jack Cravelle, green jacks, chulas, Sierra and African pampano, with the better fishing on deep running lures near the rocks.
