Richard & Mary Castaneda from CASS TOURS visited the Riviera Maya and fished aboard the "PESCADORA II", with Captain Gabby & Mate Danny that resulted in an excellent fishing day, reflecting 8 king mackerel to 20 lbs., 1 sierra, 2 smaller barracuda and 1 mutton snapper. Following the fishing trip, they had the restaurant at the Puerto Morelos Marina El Cid fix up one of the king mackerel for lunch that Richard claims was fabulous food fare, cooked just perfectly in a special garlic butter sauce. The overall catch report for a total of 6 fishing days reflected 1 sailfish, 19 king mackerel, 3 barracuda, 1 mutton snapper and 1 sierra.
