Captain Temo Verboonen reported in for the Independent sportfishing fleet and gave a glowing report of the fast action throughout the area and with most of he fishing within just 9 miles of the Bay. It has been near a wide-open bite on the sailfish and one of the skippers reported having a 5-way simultaneous sailfish bite on all different outfits and landing all five fish. Surely should have been a happy customer. Triples are common place right now for most of the boats. "We had a single blue marlin reported this past week, a smaller fish, about 70 kg., and there is still very good catches on the quality sized dorado". There are many schools of bonito at about 6 miles offshore and the bigger fish are chasing them all over. The inshore fishing for the bigger jack crevalle is just inside Zihuatanejo Bay and the bite is incredible. Good as it gets. Lots of Sierra adding to the action for the inshore light tackle anglers. Adding to the terrific fishing is the nearly flat calm, clean blue water and sunshine fishing days. It just doesn't get any better.

IZ Climate: Lots of sunshine with a few passing clouds and toasty, warm days. Temps ranged from 70 nights to 87 daytime highs with very light tropical surface breezes.

Sea Conditions: Excellent is the word. Calm seas, warm and clean waters, 85-87 degree water temps and fish that want to bite.

Best Fishing Area: Anywhere from 6 miles and outbound from there to about 9 miles or so for the offshore fishing and inside the Bay for the inshore catches of big jack crevalle and Sierra. Both areas are providing fantastic catch & release fishing that's as good as it gets.

Best Bait/Lure: Live bait, rigged baits, artificials, just about anything that gets in the water commands a strike for the angler.

Bait Supply: Excellent bait supply for both, live bait and fresh caught rigging baits for the outriggers.
