There was another way off season sailfish landed this past week, aboard the "PESCADORA I", by stateside angler, Mr. Clark, that added to the wide-spectrum catches from the Marina El Cid Fleet at Puerto Morelos. Adding to their catch was surface and bottom fish that included 1 Atlantic barracuda, triggerfish and 4 Spanish mackerel for the day. The mixed-bag catches of the fleet for a total of 16 days fished reflected an 11 fish species report that included 1 sailfish, 4 blackfin tuna, 4 dorado, 7 king mackerel, 21 bonito, 14 Sierra mackerel, 21 Atlantic barracuda, 1 shark, 27 triggerfish, 5 snapper, and 19 grouper. This is an area that the angler can fish either surface or bottom or both, at any given time, using outriggers and downriggers with the ballyhoo baits.

Puerto Morelos Climate:
Mixed clouds and sunshine, a few scattered thunder showers and temps that ranged from 71 nights to 90 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions:
Overall, a very nice sea surface condition for the week with tropical surface winds ranging from 5-13 mph and sea temps that ranged in the 85-86 degree ranges.

Best Bait:
The fresh ballyhoo continue to be the bait of choice for both, surface and bottom fish alike and the crew will pre-rig all of the baits for the day's fishing.
