It was another mixed bag fishing week for the anglers from Puerto Morelos that provided a dozen different varieties of the Caribbean catches. The surface temperatures and water clarity has been very good throughout this area and for this time of year, allows for fishing on most days, albeit, there have been some tropical surface breezes that have kicked out some wind chop and made fishing a little less comfortable for the anglers. The overall fish counts for this past week reflected 2 wahoo, 4 blackfin tuna, 9 Atlantic barracuda, 4 Spanish mackerel, 3 bonito, 1 shark, 4 amberjack, 10 triggerfish, 9 banana fish, 1 soapfish, 16 snapper and 21 grouper.

Puerto Morelos Climate:
Partly cloudy days with easterly surface breezes at 10-15 mph and temps from 75 nights to 90 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions:
Some PM wind chop but very good water temps that remained stable at 84 degrees throughout the area.

Best Bait/Lure:
Rigged and un-rigged ballyhoo continue to be the primary bait of choice throughout the area.

Bait Supply:
The supply continues to be more than sufficient to supply all of the area boas on a daily basis and remains one of the few areas that stays unaffected by the phases of the moon.
