The fleet reports continuation of improved offshore fishing as they enter their winter period and exit the rainy season. Great warm blue water extends almost all the way to the shore and the fleet is reporting some really solid fishing both offshore in inshore. Fly-fishing and spin casting for big Roosterfish and Jacks inshore is providing plenty of quality action.
The sailfish action has picked up with fish showing as close as the 10-12 mile mark. Capt. Temo reports quality size Sailfish with many surpassing the 100 lb range along with a really solid Blue Marlin bite out around the 20 mile mark. Many boats were reporting 3-5 Sailfish per day. This past week Dorado’s were plentiful in the mix with most of the pelagic fishing taking place just 10-12 miles out of the marina. The Yellowfin have been a little harder to find lately and when found, are 30-35 miles out but, when found, are quality fish up to 150 lbs. The Roosterfish and Jacks were very cooperative this past week by Ixtapa island where there were lots of sardinas drawing in the fish. Rangers were the lure of choice for the Jacks and Roosters.

Best Baits & Lures: Rigged trolling baits and smoke trail lures continue to produce for the Billfish and Dorado with most boats preferring a mix of rigged baits for the Billfish and smaller lures and feathers for the Dorado.
