The sailfish bite at Puerto Morelos is starting to take hold and
almost every boat that fished an 8-hour day had sailfish in the daily
catches. Overall reports for 21 days fished reflected a total of 15
sailfish, 10 dorado, 2 red snapper, 2 barracuda, 2 wahoo, 2 king
mackerel and t yellowfin tuna. According to the fleet manager,
Armando Gutierrez, the bite has been on the upswing for the past week
and even the full moon didn't stop the action. He things that as the
moon goes darker, the fishing action will spiral upwards for all of
the big game species.
Puerto Morelos Climate: Partly cloudy days with a good mix of
sunshine temps from 74 nights to 88 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: The temps were holding well at 80 degrees throughout
the region and the surface winds from the east were light and
variable to about 13 knots, just enough to make the fish active and
bite.
Best Bait/Lure: The ballyhoo, both rigged and unrigged were working
well for the billfish
Bait supply: Continues to be ballyhoo for this area and there has
never been any shortage over the past couple of years.
