According to Captain Temo Verboonen, our on-the-spot reporter for Zihuatanejo, the fishing picked up quite a bit this past week but still not as good as it should be, especially for the offshore billfish counts.There were have and have nots this past week but overall, the bite was much improved from the past couple of weeks and it probably reflects the dissipation of the underlying cooler southern currents. The inshore super panga fishing was on again & off again, day by day that produced Sierras, jack crevalles and bonitos chasing the big schools of anchovies and some quality roosterfish in the Valentin River area.

IZ Climate: A terrific week of sunny & warm weather with picture perfect evenings and days and air temps that ranged from 68 nights to 89 daytime highs and an average humidity level at 62%.

Sea Conditions: Sea temps increased a notch or two and ranged from 85 inshore to 86 offshore. The tropical surface breezes were flowing in from the westerly directions and ranged from near calm to 11 mph and almost no swell.

Best Fishing Area: No specific area was mentioned which probably indicates that the fish were moving about the area again and settling into the areas that had warmed up blow the surface and holding the most feed biomass.

Best Bait/Lure: The rigged baits were the way to go for the most part, especially for the sailfish.

Bait Supply: Excellent bait supply for both, fresh baits for rigging and live baits for the inshore fish. Live bait still at the $5.00 per dozen rate.
