It was just another ordinarily fun fishing week from Puerto Morelos this past week, that produced the largest fish taken by the fleet so far, a 330 lb. blue marlin, by the Jones charter group, fishing aboard the "HAMMER", with Captain Elias and Mate, Jossua. The trophy fish was taken on a ballyhoo bait and required 2 hours to land. The overall fishing in this area continues to be the mixed bag catches with dorado taking the biggest catch numbers for the week and followed by the billfish numbers. The Marina El Cid Fleet, reporting in for a total of 33 days fished, reflected 1 blue marlin, 5 white marlin, 16 sailfish, 43 dorado, 4 king mackerel, 1 wahoo, 2 yellowfin tuna, 5 Atlantic barracuda, 5 bonito, 7 triggerfish, 2 amberjack, 13 snapper and 21 grouper.
