Captain Temo Verboonen, reporting in for the Zihuatanejo Independent sportfishing fleet, said "last week was good for big fish, with sailfish and dorado biting regularly". There were a couple of mid-week slow down days but overall, it was very good fishing for the few baots that did get out. The roosterfish were also biting well this past week as well as the bigger jack cravalle. The jacks were in the 25 lb. class range, the roosterfish even bigger, and the fish were anxious to bite in the shoal area near the white rocks on poppers and streamers. The fly fishing at the White Rocks was excellent and provided numerous opportunities for the fly fishing anglers.

Partly cloudy days but warm days and nights with temps from 73 nights to 93 daytime highs and a feeling of humidity in the air.

The offshore fishing right at the 12-mile mark and beyond. The inshore best fishing was at the shoals at the White Rocks.

Rigged baits for the offshore sailfish and some of the dorado, too. surface poppers and streamers and of course, live bait, worked very well for the inshore areas.
