http://www.cortezcharters.comAn extraordinary fishing week from Puerto Morelos that provided some good sailfish action and spanned some 13 species of fish for a combined total of 16 days fished. Very unusual sailfish action for this time of the year with a third of the boats landing sailfish that typically show up in April-June on an annual basis. The overall fish counts for 16 days fished reflected a mixed-bag

King Mackerel, 18 bonito, 3 blue runners, 4 amberjack, 3 soapfish, 3 snapper, 6 Spanish Mackerel, 12 triggerfish and 2 grouper. According to Armando Gutierrez, Fleet and Marina Manager, the bad weather season has gone by and they are now looking forward to their normal warm and tropical good beach and boating weather conditions.
PM Climate:
Partly cloudy days with spurts of sunshine with temps from 62 nights to 84 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions:
Light & variable surface breezes and stable sea temps at 83 throughout the area are making for good fishing.
Best Bait/Lure:
The seemingly forever supply of locally caught ballyhoo continue to provide the ammunition for the fishing in this area.
Bait Supply:
Caught fresh and provided to the boats on a daily basis with no supply shortages.
Report Date:
According to Armando Gutierrez, the fleet's manager, Hurricane Rina had down graded to a tropical storm before reaching Puerto Morelos and while she dumped plenty of rain on the area, their was nothing more than a tree or two blown over. The sportfishing fleet and the Marina had no damage from the storm which was great news from that end of the line. The boats are back to fishing and the overall weather has returned......
