Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Fishing Conditions – Oct 9, 2009

The 80° blue water has cooled down a bit from last week, and has moved in very close to the beach. This should improve the fishing, but we have had a series of hard rains and wind and a full moon period, combined with few clients fishing. An accurate picture of the fishing action is hard to describe at best.

The average for sailfish is about 1 or 2 a day per boat, and few nice size dorado are also being taken.

Inshore, there are a lot of small jack crevalle, and even a few sierra, but the roosterfish bite also seems to have died off. However, we also had strong surf all this last week, so the roosters have moved offshore, and should move back in when the moon phase affects the surf to a lesser degree.

For now, all I can say is just wait for next week.
