Puerto Morelos should be renamed the Caribbean Fun Fishing Center with blue water action just a few minutes outside the entrance to the Marina El Cid. The weekly bite action for this area is incredibly different from our other areas and typically spans at least a dozen species in every catch report. Now, as we move into the white marlin season, we add another fish to the spectrum. The overall catches for Puerto Morelos for 21 days fished reflected a 13 fish mixed bag report that included 3 white marlin, 6 sailfish, 16 dorado, 6 Atlantic barracuda, 4 king mackerel, 2 wahoo, 7 bonito, 3 Spanish mackerel, 1 grouper, 1 snapper, 3 amberjack, 2 triggerfish and 1 jack crevalle.

PM Climate: Partly cloudy but warm and toasty days and evenings with temps that ranged from 68 nights to 86 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Very good water temps and clarity conditions throughout this area and holding stable at 81-82 degrees with mostly light and variable surface breezes.

Best Bait: The on-going choice of the fishing skippers continues to be the freshly supplied ballyhoo, taken on a daily basis.
