There was a spark of genuine enthusiasm in Captain Temo Verboonen's fishing report for the past week in Zihuatanejo, as he reported "really good fishing throughout the area beginning at about 6 miles from the entrance to Zihuatanejo Bay)". "Very good fishing at the edge where the green/blue waters meet and producing sailfish, dorados and marlin. Lots of bait under the logs. The inshore fishing is now producing an excellent bite on bigger jacks, lots of bonitos and Sierra are biting and the fly fisherman are having a field day." The inshore water is still brackish green along the coast and the roosterfish were not cooperating at all this past week.

IZ Climate: Clear to partly cloudy days excellent temperatures that range from 74 nights to 92 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: It has been a calm week with light-variable surface breezes and little swell and temps that were holding stable at 84 inshore to 86 offshore.

Best Fishing Area: Starting at the 6-mile mark and outbound from there for t he offshore critters.

Best Lures/Bait: Billfish are liking the rigged baits as are some of the dorado. Live bait was also a good ammunition, too, both for the inshore and offshore fishing.

Bait Supply: Even through the full moon, the bait supply was readily available for all boats.
