Report Date:
http://www.cortezcharters.comThis report spans the past two weeks for the Marina El cid Fleet from Puerto Morelos that reflected a continuation of the very good bite in this area. Their computers were down this past week and prevented them from forwarding the fishing information, so they doubled-up on it for this week. The averages reflected just shy of 7 fish per boat day fished that included an eleven fish variety for a total of 53 days fished. Included in the mixed-bag catches were 23 dorado, 24 blackfin tuna, 67 Atlantic barracuda, 4 wahoo, 22 Spanish mackerel, 102 bonito, 10 amberjack, 28 triggerfish, 24 banana fish, 41 grouper and 24 snapper.
PM Climate: Partly cloudy days with warm temperatures that ranged from 69 nights to 87 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Definitely fishable for all days but a couple of the days ad some breezy surface winds to 20 mph that made trolling more difficult and conditions less than desirable. The water temps remained consistent and held right at 80 degrees throughout the area.
Best Lure/Bait: The ever ready and available ballyhoo continues to be the bait of choice for this area and is provided fresh on a daily basis.
