Another week of difficult offshore fishing according to Geronimo Cevallos, as the big schools of sardines and catchable critters moved out of the area and up into the Sea of Cortez. There has been a hard southern current pushing into the Sea of Cortez and moving all of the feed biomass for the bait fish off to the north. While the water clarity is improving by the day, the sailfish, (which are very late arriving this season) have yet to filter into and take hold in the Mazatlan area. On the other hand, the boats are seeing more and more dorado in the 15 lb. ranges, stack-up under the buoys and while not yet overly eager to bite, some of the boats are catching pretty well on small, fresh squid, slow trolled by the buoys. Unquestionably, a different way to fish for dorado, but it is working. The inshore fishing has been producing excellent catches on Sierra, (mostly limit fishing) quite a few red snapper and trigger fish in abundance.

Mazatlan Climate: Mostly sunny and warm with temps from 67 nights to 88 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Southern currents pushing clear blue water into the area, with temps at 82 inshore and rising to 84 offshore

Best Fishing Area: None reflected

Best Bait/Lure: Fresh squid for the dorado and rigged baits for the billfish.
