Piles of Fish!!!! Bottom Fishing, Puerto Morelos
The shit hit the fan "bottom fishing" in the Gulf of Mexico off of Puerto Morelos, Mexico! As soon as we started cutting up bait and dropping a huge sinker with 2 hooks down to the bottom about 50 ft deep you couldn't miss! We were catching fish 2 at a time throwing them over our shoulder and filling 5 gallon buckets with Grunt fish, Yellow tail snapper, red grouper, parrot fish, "porky" fish, this poisonous rock fish.... Our guides didn't even have a pole just a line in the hand like hobo with chicken liver! Nothing big but who gives a shit when you can't even rebait your hook fast enough, can't cut bait fast enough! We were cuttin up fish we just caught cuz we were running out of bait! No time for beer even I had a beer sittin there that I couldn't even touch I knew time was of the essence, it was a riot my mom and sister were catching fish two at a time. We caught something like 60 fish in like an hour maybe more there was no way to tell. Speed fishing for reel!! I couldn't ask for a better first ocean fishing experience!! What a day in the middle of January WOo HOO!! Im out of breath enjoy the pictures....
La Petita
This is the restaurant about a block away from the fishing pier we walked over to with some of our catch from the day they threw our bag of fish on a scale and charged us $10.00 to fry it all up right then and there. It was sweet, more beer this little mariachi band played us a little diddy and we enjoyed the fruits of our labor! Pretty sweet experience all in all...
Trolling off Puerto Morelos
Trolling for barracudas and shit we definitely drank more beer (Sol) than we did catch fish on this little portion of our Mexico fishing outing! It was sweet though I got pics here of the bait we used it was a big dead sardine of some sort with a colorful skirt one on a down rigger two more on out riggers and one more rod. We got like three hits but did not hook into anything. I am sure the fish we missed were barracudas though because they are everywhere down there I saw like 15 or 20 of them when I went snorkeling for like an hour we saw some monsters like 20 or 30 lbs!
