An unusually rough and windy week from Puerto Morelos that resulted in three consecutive port closure days, December 3,4 & 5, 2011, and re-opening on Tuesday, December 6, 2011. The adverse weather conditions narrowed down the fishing effort to a total of 15 days that resulted in an 11 species mixed bag catch that included 4 sailfish, 11 dorado, 2 blackfin tuna, 1 king mackerel, 16 Atlantic barracuda, 17 bonito, 2 Spanish mackerel, 6 soapfish, 3 amberjack, 7 triggerfish and 12 grouper. The strong winds that were blowing out of the east have subsided to the normal light & variable conditions for the area and the boats are right back at the fishing.

PM Climate: Back to normal from the high windy days during the early part of the week that caused the 3-days of port closures. There continues to be partly cloudy days with light & variable surface breezes and temps from 60 nights to 82 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Stable water temps that are holding at 81 degrees and remained un-phased during the windy 3 days. The sea surface has returned to not much more than a ripple with light & variable easterly surface breezes.

Best Bait/Lure: Continues to be the rigged, skirted and regular ballihoo, all taken fresh in the area on a daily basis.

Bait Supply: The ballihoo bait supply throughout th Puerto Morelos region continues to provide sufficient quantities of bait for all boats fishing in the area.
