12-1-2011
Larry Edwards
It was anything but an ordinary fishing week from Puerto Morelos, according to Fleet Manager Armando Gutierrez, with the "Hammer" checking in with the year's largest blue marlin at 312 lbs. This trophy catch was landed by the 4 passengers and the captain and mate, over a 2.5 hour span of time, just 4 miles offshore from the Now Jade Hotel. First angler up was Ken Makowichuk, British Columbia, followed by Mr. Choiniere, Quebec, then both wives took a turn and finally, the skipper and mate. The fish was caught trolling using an "Ilander Mylar Flash Lure", (red & black) and set with a Balihoo bait and
a Penn 115 Senator reel, with 100 lb. line. Thus, the week began with the trophy catch for the shared charter group and wound up with a 12 species fish report for the 19 boat days fished, reflecting 1 blue marlin, 2 sailfish, 2 blackfin tuna, 5 dorado, 27 bonito, 22 Atlantic barracuda, 8 Spanish mackerel, 9 grouper, 11 amberjack, 2 shark, 1 triggerfish and 4 snapper.
PM Climate: Partly cloudy days with intervals of sunshine and temps that ranged from 66 nights to 83 daytime highs.
Sea Conditions: Area temperatures holding stable at 81-82 degrees. Light & variable surface breezes allowed for mostly calm fishing days.
Best Lure/Bait: Rigged ballihoo baits continue to be the "hot bite" ammunition for this area for all of the various species of fish.
