Texas Fish Report

The inshore fishing provided the best action for the anglers this past week while the offshore action reflected an increased dorado count for the anglers. With any luck at all this may indicate an early dorado season for Mazatlan. The billfish bite slowed for the week, albeit, the boats saw fair numbers of billfish that were just not willing to take the baits. The overall counts for 5 offshore fishing days reflected 2 stripers and 21 dorado. The inshore fishing report for a total of 10 days fished reflected 3 corvina, 45 red snapper, 5 jack cravelle, (aka toro) 14 barracuda and 3 mojarres (aka bottomfish).

Mazatlan Climate: Partly cloudy today but most sunny and warm with temps from 52 nights to 86 daytime highs.
