Fishing Was Excellent this week at Zihuatanejo
8-11-2011
Larry Edwards
According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the fishing from Zihuatanejo was nothing short of excellent for the past week and there was a sustained hot bite for both, black & blue marlin and sailfish, beginning at the 12 mile mark and extending outbound from
there. There were still good quantities of the oceanic tuna (skipjack tuna) around, along with just a few dorado. Their only pitfall for the week
was the lack of anglers to participate in the really great fishing. He added, "it was a relatively calm week and the inshore fishing from the super pangas allowed for the boats to get right into the
roosterfish and the bite was superb. We had 8 strikes one morning using live bait and pencil poppers and the 30- 55 lb. roosters stayed
hot on the offerings. It has been one of those weeks where everything cooperated and came together and the anglers came out the winners. The water was clean, blue and the temps were perfect at 87-88 degrees, very little swell and very light surface breezes and lots of anxious biting fish".
IZ Climate:
Partly cloudy days with temps from 70 nights to 92 daytime highs, fairly humid and scattered showers in the late P.M.s and in the mountains.
Sea Conditions:
Near perfect! Good water temps at 87-88 degrees, deep, clean blue water, very light swell and light tropical surface breezes made for excellent fishing results throughout the week.
Best Fishing Area:
Offshore started at about 12 miles and continued outbound from there to about 17-18 miles or so.
Best Lure/Bait:
Live bait was the hot bite item for the inshore roosterfish but the pencil poppers were doing well, too. The offshore fishing was going very well with the rigged trolling baits and the larger artificials, too.
Bait Supply:
Excellent live bait supply as well as trolling bait supply.
