Rough weather puts the damper on fishing at Puerto Morelos

6-30-2011
Larry Edwards

A very difficult period for the Puerto Morelos area with rough weather for most of the week that resulted in the closure of the port for 5 consecutive days. However, even with the considerably fewer fishing days, the catches continued to reflect good action for most of the anglers. The week's combined fishing report reflected 1 blue marlin, (200 lbs.) 2 sailfish, 3 dorado, 8 bonito, 1 Spanish mackerel, 8 Atlantic barracuda, 3 grouper, 2 snapper, 1 triggerfish, and 1 amberjack.

PM Climate:
Mostly cloudy days with a few thunder showers and temps from 76 nights to 87 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions:
Somewhat back to normal with surface winds at 8-15 mph from the prevailing easterly directions and sea temps stable at 83 degrees.

Best Bait/Lure:
The ballyhoo baits, provided fresh each day, continue to be the area's choice for all of the fishing, both surface and bottom catches, alike.

Bait Supply:
Continues to be a seemingly endless supply for this area.
