Z Fish Report (3/1/18)

With Adolfo on the panga Dos Hermanos

Offshore (average) surface water temperature - Includes from the 5-6 mile mark at the 100 fathom line, then to the 1,000 fathom line being at 32 miles: 81° (The cooling trend I expected is coming)

Inshore (average) surface temperature. From the beach to about 5 miles: 81°

Blue water: (Chlorophyll amounts and surface temps from Terrafin SST) Blue water is almost all the way to the beach up and down the coast.

With Cheva on the panga Dos Hermanos II. Cheva called
me in the middle of this bite off Playa Larga and said they
had 15. And, all were big.

Offshore: Sailfish action has slowed to one or two fish a day per boat. This can be expected as we are now in a full moon period. The yellowfin tuna are showing again, and should pick up for the next few days.

Inshore: Some roosters are being caught, as well as jack crevalle, sierras, and lots of black skipjacks.

Above and below - With Mark Denison at Puerto Vicente. A
nice jack crevalle and a rainbow runner

Long time fisherman here, Ken Hill of Utah, fished with Adolfo up at the Ranch and got a 60 pound rooster. It was late last week, and gone from Adolfo’s phone, so trust me. I saw the photo on Sunday morning.

Mark Denison, out of his fishing lodge in La Barrita, spin fished south at Puerto Vicente Guerrero for a great day. Here is what he emailed me: Fishing with Erik and Tracie Swanson from Spokane Washington. We got 14 jack crevalle, 4 sierra,1 chula, and 1 salema (rainbow runner) to the boat today and lost as many We had four line cuts in a row from sierra and wahoo ..triple headers and even a quadruple.
