Gone Fishin' - Fishing in Cancun
by Larry Blenn
Avid fishers who visit
Cancun will be
happy to know that they
have a very long fishing
season, and many leave
the waters with
trophies. If you travel
to Cancun from October
to July, you can book a
fishing trip in the
semi-tropical waters.
The best months for
fishers are October,
November, and March
through July, although
it depends on where you
are fishing and what the
weather is like.
Remember, however, that
fishing is closed in
August and September.
The kind of fishing done
in Cancun and
surrounding areas is
salt-water flat fishing.
Only a few hours from
the hotel zone in places
like Punta Allen and the
Si'an Ka'an Biosphere
Reserve, you can find
world renowned fishing
locations that attract
many visitors every
year. The main types of
fish you catch in Cancun
and the surrounding
areas are barracuda,
permit, and bonefish,
although there is no
limit to the tropical
surprises that may come
out of the water.
Several fishing lodges
are in existence to help
your Cancun fishing
adventure happen. The
best companies have
private beaches so you
can enjoy fishing
without worrying about
non-fishers getting in
your way. These lodges
will also help you
obtain the proper
licenses for Cancun
fishing and show you
ways to cook your fish.
Some even do the cooking
for you and provide
hotel rooms or cabins
for you at a discounted
price. You will also
have the help of an
expert fishing guide who
can show you the ropes
if you've never been
fishing in Cancun
before.
This is a
great experience for
even professional
fishers, because the
flats provide a unique
kind of fishing
technique for you to
pursue. The waters are
about three feet deep
and clear enough for you
to see the fish swimming
around you. It is really
more of a hunt, as you
learn to stalk your
prey.
In most cases,
this is a catch and
release fishing zone, so
no animals are harmed
for this adventure,
making it perfect for
the entire family to
enjoy. To learn more
about fishing in Cancun
and opportunities to
book all-inclusive stays
at a fishing lodge,
research the subject
more fully or talk with
a professional who has
experienced what Cancun
fishing has to offer. It
is a trip of a lifetime
for many outdoorsmen and
women, so do not
hesitate to include a
fishing trip as part of
your overall Cancun
vacation, even if you do
not devote the entire
vacation to the sport.
