It was a little bit slower on charters this past week from Puerto Morelos and for no apparent reason. The area is full of tourists but it appears most are pyramiding, beaching, sitting by the pool and even golfing. Just not too much on the fishing side, even though the fishing remains very good, which is typical for the month of May. May & June are wonderful fishing months in this area, especially for the billfish, (white marlin, sailfish and even blue marlin) and I would definitely recommend a minimum 6-hour charter from the Marina El Cid, especially if one's goal is to land a billfish. Also available at this time of year is an opportunity for a dorado, wahoo, blackfin tuna and more. This past week's catch report for a total of 22 days fished reflected 3 white marlin, 3 sailfish, 13 dorado, 7 blackfin tuna, 16 bonito, 4 giant barracuda, 4 wahoo, 2 Spanish mackerel, 1 pargo, 8 banana fish, 10 triggerfish and 6 grouper.
PM Climate: Mostly cloudy but warm days with intermittent sunshine and temperatures that ranged from 77 nights to 89 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Excellent water temperatures throughout the area and stable at 83 degrees. The tropical surface breezes continue to flow from the easterly directions and typically range from 10-20 mph, providing some afternoon wind chop that helps to keep the game fish active.
Best Bait/Lures: The freshly caught ballyhoo continues to be the bait of choice for this area and is provided fresh on a daily basis by the local bait catchers for the fleet.
According to Captain Temo Verboonen, our Ace Reporter for this area, the fishing has really come back to life for both, the inshore fishing and offshore fishing, as the waters have cleaned up and warmed up throughout the area. It's really nice, blue water and the big game fish are holding well at the 7 mile mark from the entrance to Zihuatanejo Bay, with an excellent bite on the billfish. The yellowfin tuna are providing very good action for the anglers just a bit farther offshore, around the 15 mile mark, and while not the giant tuna, they are definitely the fun to catch fish, in the school fish size ranges, 10-15 lbs. Adding to the good offshore fishing is the upward spiral for the inshore action as the roosterfish and jack crevalle are providing excellent angler entertainment at Valentin Point. The numbers of anglers has slowed up considerably and that is unfortunate, as the fishing has rebounded all over the area.
IZ Climate: A sun-cloud mix that provides warm, toasty days and very pleasant nights and temps that range from 70 nights to 91 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Excellent! Inshore, the water temps are holding at 83 degrees and rise to 85-86 just outside the 100 fathom curve and rising gain just outside the 1000 fathom curve to 87-88 degrees. Light surface breezes in the 10-15 mph ranges and very light sw swell. Best Fishing Area: Billfish are at 7 miles from the harbor and the tuna at the 15-mile mark. The roosterfish and jack crevalle showing up well at Valentin Point.
Best Lure/Bait: Rigged baits working best for the billfish and a wide assortment of tuna feathers and lures working well for the yellowfin. Live bait working well for the inshore fish as are pencil poppers.
Bait Supply: Continues to be plentiful and uninterrupted for both, live bait and fresh baits for rigging.
There was an upward trend for dorado this past week along with the upward sea temperature increases for the entire area. While the Pacific striped marlin disappeared this past week, the sailfish bite kept the offshore anglers busy with better than a 50% catch rate and the dorado added to the action. The dorado ranged widely in sizes from about 10-12 lbs. to about 35 lbs., and seems to be showing their annual return to the buoys in the offshore waters. As the bite picked up in the offshore waters, so did the inshore bite for t he super pangas. the overall offshore bite for 15 fishing days reflected 8 sailfish, (1 released) and 20 dorado and the inshore bite for 5 days fished reflected 15 corvina, 1 cabrilla, 25 snappers, 10 triggerfish and 10 rock perch.
Mazatlan Climate: Partly cloudy days with intermittent sunshine and temps that varied from 60 degree nights to 87 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Excellent water temperatures holding at 80-82 degrees from just off the coastline to the off shore fishing areas and with mostly light & variable surface breezes in the 5-15 mph ranges.
Best Fishing Area: Continues out to the southwest of the Marina El Cid, starting at about 16 miles or so.
Best Lure/Bait: Rigged trolling baits working best on the sailfish and the bigger dorado and smaller surface lures doing well for the smaller dorado.
Bait Supply: Continues to be readily available for both, fresh rigging baits and live bait. Live baitt remains at $1.00 per bait and paid direct to the bait vendor at time of receipt.
According to Captain Roberto Marquez, owner of the Fish Cabo fleet, the marlin fishing has slowed up considerably and have been moving from one location to another, almost day by day, making every day a challenge. Right now, the billfish are being caught close to Cabo Falso, along the temperature break and just a few miles offshore. However, the fish are not being overly cooperative and in fact, are down right finicky biters, adding additional challenges to the fishing day. High boat for the fishing week was the Fish Cabo, reporting in with 5 stripers released for 2 offshore fishing days. They also had a single inshore fishing day that produced 11 yellowtail, (15-20 lb. fish) and 4 respectable roosterfish in the 35-40 lb. ranges. The overall fish counts for a combined total of 16 days fished reflected 13 stripers, (12 released) 2 mako sharks, 6 roosterfish, 11 yellowtail, 10 dorado and 13 skipjack.
Cabo Climate: Mostly sunny, clear and warm days with temps that ranged from 64 nights to 94 daytime highs. Sea Conditions: Light surface breezes mostly from the sse directions at 10-20 mph. Cool waters on the Pacific side at 63-67 degrees and considerably off-color, greenish tinted, and changing at Cabo Falso to about 75-76 degrees, then changing to a much bluer and cleaner condition into the Sea of Cortez. Rounding the corner and into the Sea of Cortez temps continue at 75-76 degrees to the inner-Gorda Bank and above. From a few miles inside the the 1150 fathom spot, up to the outer Gorda Bank and on outside beyond the 1000 fathom curve, the temps soar to 79-80 degrees.
Best Fishing Area: All of the billfish came from the Cabo Falso area as did most of the dorado.
Best Lure/Bait: Live bait best for the billfish and for the dorado, too, and the roosterfish. Hoochies working best on the yellowtail.
Live bait supply: Remains very good with caballitos being the majority of the bait.

We Had Our Shots! A couple of tough days here in the Buffer Zone for us. The evening was best with good sign of fish and a few shots at the big cows, but unfortunately we lost each one that we hooked due to one reason or another. VERY Frustrating!! We managed to pull through another 9 Tuna and had at least 15 more go to the tax men on Monday. Yesterday was more of the same, we hooked a HUGE fish on a Salami for Dan Sunderland only to have the 130 Spectra snap some 300 yards out! Jerry Yoshida also lost a big Cow right next to the boat, John Loftus another victim of a lost Cow 5 feet from gaff, and that's how the trip has been for us... We are now on the move north and will have some time to fish The Rocks and then some offshore hunting along the way home. Wish us luck. "The Intrepid Team"
