It was another fun-filled fishing week coming out of the Marina El Cid Sportfishing Fleet in Puerto Morelos, with the boats reflecting an average of 6 fish per trip. The wide-variety, mixed-bag catches, represented 11 different species for an area that typically produces a dozen different fish for their weekly fishing reports. Puerto Morelos is a unique fishing area about 25 miles south of Cancun, where the deep waters of the Caribbean Sea comes within a quarter mile of the entrance to the Marina El Cid, and allows for fishing within minutes of leaving the dock. Anglers get much more fishing time for their charter dollars when fishing from the Marina El Cid, in Puerto Morelos. The overall catchs for this past week for 30 days fished reflected 1 sailfish, 31 dorado, 29 Atlatic barracuda, 13 blackfin tuna, 10 Spanish mackerel, 50 bonito, 16 mberjack, 8 banana fish, 2 snapper, 8 triggerfish and 9 grouper.

PM Climate: Mostly cloudy with some chance of rain from Friday thru Monday. Temperatures are pleasant and ranged from 66 nights to 84 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Overall, a very good water-weather week with mostly light & variable surface breezes and a stable sea temp that held right at 80 degrees.

Best Bait/Lure: The daily, fresh caught ballyhoo continues to be the prime bait for this area and is used in a variety of methods depending on the type of fishing for the day.
