http://www.cortezcharters.comIt was another terrific fishing week from Puerto Morelos that
produced a mixed bag catch of 12 different species for the anglers.
Vacationing angler, Mr. Cook, fishing aboard the Aries VI, landed the
week's only sailfish and rounded out his catch with 2 Atlantic
barracuda and 3 grouper. Another vacationing angler, fishing aboard
the Pescadora I, landed 1 wahoo, 1 mutton snapper, 2 Atlantic
barracuda, 1 bonito and 2 grouper. Surface and bottom fishing can
easily be combined on the same trip to enhance the overall fishing
day. Overall catches for 14 combined fishing days reflected 1
sailfish, 12 Atlantic barracuda, 22 Bonito, 1 wahoo, 10 king
mackerel, 2 yellowfin tuna, 3 Spanish mackerel, 8 grouper, 5 mutton
snapper, 3 amberjack, 1 porgy, and 1 triggerfish.

with light surface winds in the 10-15 knot ranges.
Best Bait/Lure: This area continues to excel on the readily
available supply of local fresh ballyhoo that they use rigged and un-
rigged and often with a variety of colored skirts.
Bait Supply: Excellent and readily available everyday.
