Tight Lines in Puerto Morelos

I organized an off shore fishing trip for the boys when we were down in Cancun as a family and it was such a great time! We booked the boat for 6 hours and decided to start by targeting the trophy fish by trolling with a bunch of rods out baited and set up. A couple hours went by and we didnt get a single thing, we tried for another hour because I was really wanted a shot at a sailfish or something like that but it ended up not working out. After talking with the captain we decided to try a different method and try to fish off the bottom for some smaller reef fish and that proved to be far more effective and a lot of fun. Between the 5 of us we caught about 10 fish, I think about 2 each. I caught the first, Bridger caught the biggest and I think Dad and Caleb caught the coolest with Coleson slaying the Banana Fish. We caught I think 4 species in total, Triggerfish, Blue Runner, Bananafish and Yellowfin. All of which were really cool, apparently Bridger caught a really nice Triggerfish and they guys said the Blue Runner I caught was massive compared to your average on that species. They all put up a pretty goof fight and it was just a blast to real them in and see what we had on our lines.

We caught most of our fish at about 75 feet but the water was so clear you could still see the bottom for most of the time. After catching all 10 in the same place we moved to try somewhere else but didnt catch anything else. The crew however did take both our Triggerfish and made an extremely fresh Ceviche that was absolutely fire! We felt like the trip was pretty successful and after hearing most of the boats out that day came back to harbor empty handed we were pretty happy with our results. At one point we did see like an 8 foot Wahoo right off the side of the boat but couldn't seem to get his attention, really cool looking fish and it was cool to see it lurking around the boat.
