Unfortunately, the fishing continues in the transitional state for the Mazatlan area and the boats are having to work very hard for a single strike. Overall catches for 26 fished days reflected 3 stripers, 3 sailfish, 2 yellowfin tuna and 9 dorado.

Mazatlan Climate: Partly cloudy days with temps that varied from 58 nights to 90 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Generally, calm waters, temps from 72-73 inshore and rising to 76 offshore

Best Fishing Area: Again, there was no special area that was "best". It was a search of many areas to produce a single strike.

Best Lure/Bait: Slow trolled rigged baits.
