Another family fun fishing week aboard the Marina El Cid Sportfishing Fleet from Puerto Morelos, offering a multi-mixed-bag catch for the anglers and again consisting of an eleven fish variety. The Fleet reported in for a combined total of 22 days fished that reflected 24 King Mackerel, 5 Rainbow Runners, 4 Atlantic Barracuda, 36 Bonita, 8 Blue Runners, 13 Spanish Mackerel, 12 snapper, 4 Grouper, 1 Amberjack, 17 Triggerfish and 15 Jabones, (bottomfish). This amounted to a near 6-fish per boat average for the fleet and many of the trips were short, 4-hour events. One of the best features for fishing from Puerto Morelos is the close proximity to the fishing areas that begin just a few minutes outside the entrance to the Marina El Cid, in an area that provides a rapid bottom fall-off just outside the entrance to the Marina.

PM Climate: Mostly cloudy this week with some intermittent sunshine days. Temps ranged from 57 nights to 82 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Water temps fell a couple of degrees this past week and are now stable at 78-79 degrees with excellent clarity. Changing surface breezes through the week but less than 15 knots and very little to no surface wind-chop throughout the week.

Best Bait/Lure: The freshly rigged, skirted and un-rigged ballyhoo continue to be the bait of choice for the entire fleet from Puerto Morelos.
