Very slow on anglers this past week, resulting in a lower fish count
for the fleet. In conjunction with the full moon and lack of
anglers, the fleet still averaged a 50% catch rate for the offshore
waters and reflected 5 stripers, 4 sailfish, 2 dorado, 2 mako shark
and 4 yellowfin tuna, (50-pounders) for their 15 days fished. The
inshore action was down to 2 days fished that reflected 20 pargo and
45 mojarres. We look for a better fishing week to come with the
water temps moving up a few degrees.
Mazatlan Climate: Partly cloudy days with temps from 54 nights to 84
daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Very good! Temps have increased this week to 75-76
degrees for the offshore waters, nearly calm waters with light
surface breezes and little swell conditions.
Best Fishing Area: Most of the billfish came from the southwest of
the Marina El Cid, 15-25 miles.
Best Lure/Bait: Most of the billfish still being taken on slow
trolled rigged mullet baits.
