Tough Fishing Week at Zihuatanejo

10-13-2011

It was a rough-tough week for the Zihuatanejo fleet this past week with Hurricane Jova blowing into nearby Manzanillo and Tropical Depression Irwin dancing around just a ways offshore & finally heading back out to the west. These were both very unusual storms as they started offshore and moved toward the mainland, with Jova going ashore and Irwin doing a complete 360 and going back offshore. I can't remember ever seeing this happen before in that part of the country. According to Captain Temo Verboonen, the waters were much too rough all week and the boats were unable to go fishing. The swells are huge and the overall conditions remain unfishable and are likely to remain this way for the next few days.

IZ Climate:
Mostly cloudy days with good chance for additional rains, (60%) and temps that varied from 73 nights to 91 daytime highs and 83% humidity.

Sea Conditions:
Unfavorable for fishing throughout the area and will likely remain the same for the next 3-4 days. Sea temps have dropped to 83 degrees on the surface, resulting from the continued tropical storms.
