Texas Fish Report

The offshore FAD buoys continue to provide the mainstay of the action for the dorado anglers. While not nearly as prolific as it has been over the past 5 months, it is still very good fishing for dorado in the 15-35 lb. ranges and an occasional 40-50 lb. offering. The offshore cruisers seem to be finding the larger dorado outside and southwest of the buoys and overall have been averaging 3-4 per boat per fishing day. The inshore super pangas continue to do well and have been averaging 7-8 dorado per fishing day around the buoys. The overall fish counts for the offshore waters reflected 3 sailfish, 1 tuna and 36 dorado for 10 days fished and the inshore super pangas reflected 30 dorado for 4 days fished.

Mazatlan Climate: Partly cloudy days and thinning out to just a few passing clouds with temps hat ranged from 66 nights to 90 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: It's been a good weather week with nearly calm sea surface conditions and water temps that remained stable at 85 inshore and 86.5 offshore.

Best Fishing Area: The dorado bite was best at the buoys.

Best Bait/Lure: Rigged baits were responsible for the billfish and a few of the dorado. However, live bait was the hot ticket for the bigger dorado.

Bait Supply: The bait supply remains excellent for both live and rigged dead baits.
