It 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.
