It was a "Baker's Dozen" mixed bag catch week for the Puerto Morelos area this past week that produced a 13 species variety for the anglers' efforts. The white marlin re-appeared in the fish counts this past week with 3 fish reported by the boats, along with 5 sailfish, 9 wahoo, 2 king mackerel, 10 dorado, 9 blackfin tuna, 8 Atlantic barracuda, 19 bonito, 3 Spanish mackerel, 7 amberjack, 6 grouper, 11 triggerfish and 21 snapper. Puerto Morelos continues to be one of the most fascinating fishing areas for our fishing reports and week after week continues to have an interesting catch display reflected in the fish reports.

PM Climate:
Partly cloudy days but lots of sunshine to go with those days, too. Temps ranged from 74 nights to 90 daytime highs.

Sea Conditions:
Tropical surface breezes flowing in from the ESE and ranged from 5-15 mph through the week. Just enough to make the fish want to bite. Sea temps holding at 83 degrees throughout the area and water clarity is near perfect.

Best Bait:
Continues to be the always present ballyhoo that are provided to the boats on a fresh, daily caught basis.
