Another very down-sided fishing report from Captain Temo Verboonen for the Zihuatanejo area that reflected a continuation of the red tide and green waters throughout the area that continue to hamper the fishing results. While the water temps are OK, the clarity is terrible and the catching is almost non-existent. Of the 155 boats fishing in their International Fishing Tournament this past week, many skippers reported no strikes for the entire 3 fishing days. That's unquestionably very tough fishing for both, anglers and crew and can make for some extraordinarily long fishing days. As of this report, there was no visible sign of water condition improvement and this could flow on into another week's poor fishing results for both, inshore and offshore fishing.

IZ Climate:
Sunny and clear days during the early week and changing to partly cloudy days by week's end with temps ranging from 67 nights to 89 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions:
Very green water inshore and becoming red tide conditions offshore that extends out to about 45-50 miles, literally shutting off the fish bite for this area. Sea temps are OK and holding at about 83 degrees for the offshore waters but the clarity is hampering the fishing effort.

Bait Supply:
Remained excellent and hasn't been affected by the overall off colored water conditions.
