THE PUERTO MORELOS FISHING REPORT FOR THE MARINA EL CID SPORTFISHING

3-17-2011
Larry Edwards

The Puerto Morelos fishing action is dominating the Mexico fishing reports and continues to reflect terrific mixed-bag fishing with it's wide variety catches. This area continuously produces a dozen or more fish in the variety and the angler just never knows what's coming up next. What is uniquely superb for anglers fishing from Puerto Morelos is the proximity to the fishing grounds, just a few minutes outside the Marina El Cid breakwater, allowing for very short runs to the fishing grounds and adding lots more time to the fishing, This week reflected a combined total of 40 days fished that reflected a dozen fish variety that consisted of 5 dorado, 35 bonito, 33 tuna, 28 snapper, 40 trigger fish, 9 jack cravelle, 4 Spanish mackerel, 25 grouper, 7 Atlantic barracuda, 5 amberjack, 21 soapfish, 16 sand tilefish (small, elongated bottom fish with a yellowish hue to the back and silver sided, often referred to as "banana fish" & can grow to about 4 feet in length) and 6 king mackerel.

PM Climate:
Partly cloudy days with good, sun-shiny periods and superb, warm evenings with temps that ranged from 68 nights to 83 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions:
Another good water week that was mostly calm with light & variable surface breezes of 5-10 knots and 80 degree water temps.

Best Bait/Lure:
The rigged and un-rigged ballyhoo continue to set the pace in this area and it seems like every specie of fish in this area is attracted to this wonderful bait.

Bait Supply:
Continuously plentiful for all of the boats.
