The Atlantic barracuda set the pace for action from the Marina El Cid Sportfishing Fleet at Puerto Morelos, with fish that were estimated at nearly 40 lbs. The overall catches for 20 days fished reflected a 10 fish mixed bag catch that included 1 sailfish, 4 wahoo, 8 blackfin tuna, 26 Atlantic barracuda, 8 Spanish mackerel, 27 bonito, 1 shark, 13 grouper, 4 snapper and 7 banana fish. According to the Marina & Fleet Manager, Armando Gutierrez, the overall fishing conditions have stayed good this year with very little adverse weather conditions and only a minimal amount of days have been lost due to port closures.

Best Bait/Lure:
The always incredible ballyhoo continues to be the preferred bait for this area and they rig the baits with and without colored skirts.
