Fish Report for 8-11-2011
Poor weather kept the boats off the water at Mazatalan
8-11-2011
Larry Edwards
Four days of tough weather and no boats fishing put a damper on the overall action this past week, but has the week came to a close, the fishing was coming back to par normal and the fish were again
cooperating with the anglers. The "ARIES II" released the only blue marlin this week, a smaller fish in the 250 lb. range. The "Aries III" released three of the 4 sailfish for the week and rounded out their catch with 3 yellowfin tuna. In general, the dorado counts have subsided but there is still availability throughout the area and
the bigger dorado are being taken away from the buoys. Italian anglers, Carlo Maggiore from Rome and Franco, (74 years old) from Modena Sassuold, Italy, had the biggest dorado for the week, a near 40 pounder, along with several smaller fish, while fishing aboard the "Aries III" with Captain Martin. Overall counts for 8 days fished reflected 1 blue marlin taken aboard the "Aries IX", 4 sailfish, (3 released) 7 dorado and 20 yellowfin tuna. The inshore super pangas
reporting in for 3 days fished reflected 11 dorado and 4 yellowfin tuna.
