Re: Riviera Maya Mexico fishing?
My suggestion? Bring light tackle with you.....fish any cove on the beach side south of Playa Del carmen and you will be surprised at what you can catch...also, I fished directly at Puerto Aventuras in the lagoon, after, or before business hours. Havent been there in a few years, but the place was basically a bonefish breeding hole, and you could catch all the 3-6 pound tarpon you could imagine right from the docks......an occasional 20 pounder would show interest but it was the kiddies who hit.
Trolling in peak season is great for sails, and there are excellent mahi runs in May-June, but the majority of the year its an occasional sail and lots of barracuda......captains will drop for bottom fishing if you ask but its nothing incredible.....go to Cabo around Halloween for the best yellowfin fishing anywhere and you'll really see what Mexico has to offer!
Cheers!
