They are early this year and perhaps this is just the prelude to what is going to happen come the peak season, in May? It was another busy week for the Marina El Cid Fishing Fleet from Puerto Morelos and reflected a total of 40 fishing days and a 13 fish variety in the reports. The overall catches for the fleet reflected 8 sailfish, 12 dorado, 16 tuna, 10 king mackerel3 Wahoo, 7 bonito, 6 Atlantic barracuda, 6 Spanish mackerel, 38 snapper, 19 triggerfish, 13 soapfish and 23 grouper.

Mostly favorable with light & variable tropical surface winds with stable sea temps at 80 degrees.

No changer, here. It continues to be the ballyhoo, both the rigged and un-rigged varieties, both from the surface outriggers and the downriggers.
