The one thing that's fun about fishing from Puerto Morelos is the forever mixed-bag catches that come from that area. Almost nothing is ever the same from one bite to another. One bite could be a wahoo and the next could be a tuna, perhaps a bonito or even a grouper. This is one of the few areas of Mexico, that can produce a variety of surface to bottom fish over the course of a day's fishing, without the changing of gear. Today, we reflect a 10 fish species for 13 days fished that reflected 18 blackfin tuna, 6 dorado, 12 grouper, 17 bonito, 3 banana fish, 14 trigger fish, 19 Atlantic barracuda, 10 king mackerel, 8 Sierra and 1 amberjack.

PM Climate: Partly cloudy but warm days and temps that ranged from 67 nights to 84 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Overall, this past week has been good with light, tropical surface breezes and stable water temps at 82 degrees throughout the area.

Best Bait: We continue to see the ballyhoo as the prime bait of choice throughout this area and the crews pre-rig the baits and often skirt the baits with different colors, occasionally using cut baits for some of the bottom fish.

Bait Supply: Continues to be plentiful and readily available with no affect from the full moon phase.
