The inshore fishing continues to offer a strong bite on the Corvina, with good numbers of quality fish in the 10-15 lb. ranges, along with some good action on the red snappers. The offshore fishing slowed down a little this past week but the boats still found a couple of blue marlin in the mix of their catches. The overall reports for 10 offshore fishing days reflected 2 blue marlin, (estimated at 200-225 lbs.) 3 dorado, 9 yellowfin tuna and one mako shark and the inshore super pangas reporting in for 7 days fished reflected 49 corvina, 19 red snapper, 15 mojarres, 1 roosterfish and 4 triggerfish.

Mazatlan Climate: Partly cloudy days with cool nights and temps that ranged from 49-78 degrees.

Sea Conditions: 72 degrees inshore and rising to 75 offshore at the 20 miles mark and beyond, Inshore waters are off color green and gradually changing to a clean green at 20 miles.

Best Fishing Area: The boats are beginning to cover wide swaths of water out to the southwest of the Marina El Cid and have been fishing in the 20-30 mile ranges.

Best Lure/Bait: Corvina liking the rapalas. The blues were both taken on artificials, the tuna taken on cedar plugs, dorado on the rigged baits.
Bait Supply: No problem with the bait supply, even over the full moon.
