A great fishing week from Puerto Morelos for the anglers but unusually slow on charters. The fleet reported only 19 days fishing that resulted in a 12-fish mixed bag catch that included 3 blue marlin, 6 white marlin, 3 sailfish, 1 wahoo, 7 Atlantic barracuda, 3 blackfin tuna, 3 bonito , 28 dorado, (the fish of the week) 2 amberjack, 2 grouper, 6 triggerfish and 3 mutton snapper. The billfish season is well into motion for this area and should be fairly consistent for the next 30-40 days. One of the local customers, (Mr. Roberts, fishing aboard the "Hammer") provided by the local hotels had an exciting day's fishing that resulted in 1 blue marlin, 2 white marlin, 1 Atlantic barracuda and even a triggerfish in the catch. The blue marlin have been smaller fish in the 200-250 lb. ranges.
