Another glowing report arrived from that fun-fishing area of Puerto Morerlos, reflecting a wide spectrum catch that encompassed 13 species for the anglers that included 4 off-season sailfish in the mix. The overall catches for 27 days reported offered 4 sailfish, 6 dorado, 7 blackfin tuna, 6 Spanish mackerel, 24 bonito, 23 Atlantic barracuda, 4 king mackerel along with 14 grouper, 12 triggerfish, 10 bananafish, 3 soapfish, 9 snapper and 5 amberjack.

PM Climate: Partly cloudy but warm days and evenings with temps ranging from 65 nights to 83 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Overall, a pretty good weather week on the water with light & variable surface winds from 5-15 mph for the most part and prevailing from the easterly directions. All days were very fishable.

Best Bait: This area continues to use the locally abundant ballyhoo baits that are proven to provide the best bite for all of the area's species. These freshly caught baits are used in rigged fashion, using colored skirts, sometimes as is from the sea, occasionally cut and often trolled from the outriggers or downriggers.

Bait Supply: Not even the full moon has an affect on the bait supply for this area.
