Just a terrific week's fishing from Puerto Morelos, with a surge of off season sailfish chasing after the pre-rigged ballyhoo trolling baits. It was a significant improvement over the past couple of weeks with a report that encompassed a 12 species mixed-bag catch that included 11 sailfish, 12 dorado, 3 wahoo, 3 blackfin tuna, 34 bonito, 5 king mackerel, 9 Spanish mackerel, 33 Atlantic barracuda, 1 amberjack, 4 triggerfish, 4 snappers and 12 grouper for a total of 25 days fished. It was just another fun-filled fishing week from the Marina El Cid, where the deep water comes within a few hundred yards of the Marina's entrance and the distance to the fishing grounds is but minutes away.

PM Climate: A mostly cloudy week but warm days and pleasant evenings with temps that ranged from 64 nights to 83 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: A very good water-weather week with light & variable surface breezes, mostly calm seas and temps that were very stable at 80 degrees.

Best Bait/Lure: This area is unique and the seemingly unending supply of locally caught ballyhoo continues to serve as the bait of choice for the boat crews.

Bait Supply: Even with the full moon condition, the bait supply for this are continues to remain readily available and is fresh caught, daily.

"Aries V" released the season's first striper and baited three others that wouldn't bite. Lots of marlin jumpers throughout the 15-20 mile mark, though not too eager just yet. She reports lots of sea life working the different areas with birds and sardine schools. ......
