Fish Report for 5-12-2011
THE MAZATLAN FISHING REPORT FOR THE ARIES SPORTFISHING FLEET
5-12-2011
Larry Edwards
It is the time of year when the dorado gather under the buoys that serve as fish attracting devices, (FADs) that tends to seriously liven up the fishing results for this area. The quality of the dorado sizes this year has been bigger and better than the norm for several years with the fish averaging about 20 lbs. This annual gathering of dorado is currently providing about a 4-fish average for the boats and catches will improve to near limit fishing by the end of May to early June. The only odd development has been the lack of billfish over the past couple of weeks, but this too will change soon with the sailfish, blue and black marlin showing; up in the counts.
The overall offshore fish counts reflected for 13 days fished were 54 dorado in the offshore waters and 22 dorado, 5 corvina, 1 baqueta and 1 cabrilla for the 5 super pang fishing days.
Mazatlan Climate:
Mostly sunny and warm days and pleasant evenings with temps that varied from 60 nights to 90 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions:
Sea Temps are stable at 78-79 degrees in the inshore areas and rise to 82-83 in offshore waters at about 5 miles offshore.
Best Fishing Area:
The dorado are all coming from the buoys that are positioned at the 18-22 mile mark.
Best Bait/Lure:
Right now, the live bait is best, but dorado are also being taken on trolled artificials, both surface and diving types and rigged baits from the outriggers.
Bait Supply:
Both live and rigged bait is readily available.
