I think we're going to rename Puerto Morelos the "Catch-a-lot" area. It was another super fishing week for the boats that produced a 15 fish mixed-bag catch that was spread over a total of 32 days fished by the various boats. The catches were inclusive of 1 blue marlin, 8 sailfish, 7 wahoo, 3 king mackerel, 15 dorado, 6 Atlantic barracuda, 10 blackfin tuna, 49 bonito, 4 amberjack, 15 triggerfish, 3 snapper, 1 shark, 2 grouper, 3 soapfish and 2 Spanish mackerel.

PM Climate: Partly cloudy but warm days and pleasant evenings with temps from 71 nights to 87 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions: Superb water temps that are holding stable at 81 degrees with excellent clarity and light tropical surface breezes.

Best Lure/Bait: The preferred bait continues to be the locally caught ballyhoo that is used for all of the locally caught species from the largest of billfish to the smallest of triggerfish.

Bait Supply: We have never experienced any diminished supply for fresh baits in the Puerto Morelos region.
