11-15-2012
Larry Edwards
This past week was an exceptionally good fishing week for the Aries Fleet sportfishers, especially for the billfish. Captain Gilberto Quintero was the leader of the fleet and skippering the "Aries IX" groups to a total of 1 blue marlin and 6 sailfish for their three fishing days. The overall averages for the offshore sportfishing was near 2 billfish per boat day. Captain David Cabanillas, skipper of the Aries IV, produced 1 blue marlin, 3 sailfish and 3 dorado for his two days of fishing in the offshore waters. The overall fish counts for a total of 11 days reflected 2 blue marlin, (smaller fish in the 250 lb. range) 13 sailfish, (5 released) and 7 dorado. The inshore super pangas reporting in for 6 days fished reflected 11 roosterfish, (9 released) 7 barracuda, 4 bonito 13 red snapper and 25 perch. This fall's fishing from the Marina El Cid in Mazatlan, with The Aries Sportfishing Fleet, has developed into terrific offshore billfish action for the anglers and is providing several opportunities each fishing day for blue marlin and sailfish.
Mazatlan Climate: Cool evenings and warm, toasty days with temps that varied from 64 nights to 84 daytime highs. Lots of sunshine with some passing clouds throughout the days and light & variable surface breezes.
Sea Conditions: Excellent sea surface conditions throughout the area with temps ranging from 82 inshore to 84 offshore. The offshore waters provided excellent clarity and virtually7 little to no swells.
Best Fishing Area: Starting at about 18 miles out to the southwest of the Marina El Cid.
Best Bait/Lure: The rigged trolling baits were the hot ticket it em for the sailfish and dorado and the blue marlin were both taken on artificials.
Bait Supply: The bait supply continues to be in perfect order with excellent live bait supply and plenty of fresh caught baits for rigging.
