Fishing in Isla Mujeres

With beautiful sun-drenched beaches and a tranquil atmosphere, Isla Mujeres is the Yucatan Peninsula’s own little slice of paradise. It’s also a real haven for water-lovers, including snorkelers, divers, and, of course, anglers! An Isla Mujeres fishing adventure is something that shouldn’t be missed. It’s surrounded by reefs brimming with tasty bottom fish, provides access to the prolific Yucatan Channel, and even offers up some flats fishing action.
 
Firstly, there’s the majestic Mesoamerican Reef. Just and a short journey out onto the water will see you encountering Grouper, Snapper, Hogfish, Triggerfish, Amberjack, and Barracuda. More into deep sea fishing action? Head out around 20–30 miles offshore, and you’ll reach the Yucatan Channel – AKA the playground of big game fish. Blue and White Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Blackfin Tuna...all the Gulf of Mexico’s major players pass through these waters!
 
Isla Mujeres’ inshore action is nothing short of spectacular, either. You can step out of your hotel and generally be battling Bonefish within minutes, there are so many productive flats fisheries here. But ask any local angler, and they’ll usually recommend the Isla Blanca flats. Why? Fewer anglers visit these waters, and you’ll come across Bonefish, Tarpon, Permit, and Snook, otherwise known as an “Inshore Super Grand Slam,” as well as Jacks and Barracuda.
 
Local charter captains provide a whole variety of fishing trips, running anywhere from four to over nine hours. Although it’s possible to explore the flats, reef, or offshore waters on a shorter trip, most locals recommend opting for a longer adventure. Newbies and families can mix up fishing with some swimming or snorkeling, and hardcore anglers can try for that trophy catch!
 

 

Rules & Regulations

You’ll need a valid Mexico fishing license in order to explore Isla Mujeres’ waters. The good news is, if you’re casting off alongside a local charter captain, this will be covered for you.

Isla Mujeres Fishing Seasons

January

January is a great time to fish the reefs, with monster Grouper and Snapper waiting below the waters. Hit the flats, and you could spend hour after hour battling super-sized Snook.

February

The Isla Mujeres Island Time Fishing Tournament offers epic hookups and fierce competition in February. Target Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tuna, and King Mackerel in this awesome offshore event.

March

If you're up for a road trip, the spring equinox at Chichen Itza is an unmissable event which has been celebrated for centuries. If not, you've got Sailfish, Wahoo, Bonefish, Snook, and plenty more right here!

April

Semana Santa is Mexico's most important holiday. The schools are out and all the locals are in the mood to celebrate. April also marks the anniversary of Cancun's discovery, so it's a very happy time in town.

May

The summer season is well on its way by May. Bonefish, Tarpon, Permit, and Snook are swarming the shallows. Offshore, you have Blue and White Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and Tuna. Fish on!

June

The Billfish bite hits its peak in June, with huge monster Blue Marlin, White Marlin, and Sailfish. The flats are incredible, too, with every major inshore game fish swarming in along the beaches.

July

The Isla Mujeres Whale Shark Festival has fun for all the family as it honors these incredible creatures. This is also a great month to go snorkeling with whale sharks around the island!

August

August is when most Mexicans take their vacatian, so beaches and resorts may be busier than you expect. Escape the crowds, and you'll find some amazing fishing on the flats, though.

September

Mexicans love Independence Day just as much as Americans, it seems. September 15th is marked with music, dancing, and chants of "Viva Mexico!" all across the country.

October

The Isla Mujeres International Music Festival brings the island to life for a 12-day extravaganza of music and dancing, with top artists from around the world. It's one heck of a party!

November

Dia de los Muertos is probably Mexico's most famous festival. Expect elaborate costumes and impressive parades as locals celebrate their ancestors and mourn their loved ones.

December

If you're thinking of spending December on Isla Mujeres then we're very jealous. With warm seas, beautiful beaches, and all-night parties, this is the ultimate way to enjoy the holiday season!

Definitely book with the Keen M team! We came in September and chose to fish during the off season which was a risk. We did not have a lot of consistent bites but had some great catches

A morning trip might have more success as it was slow in the afternoon. The owner told us it was a weird day even off shore so maybe it wouldnโ€™t matter. We still caught fish so it was a successful trip.

Captain Rogelio took us out looking for Sailfish and he and Fernando ( FIrst mate ) tried pretty much everything but they just werenโ€™t bitting. He changed spots and put us on some nice king fish with plenty of action. Plenty of snacks, water, cola and Cold beer, would definitely refer him, and will be going out with Chilis again.

We had a windy 5 hour day on the water but Rogelio and his guys made sure my husband got into some fish! He caught 1 sailfish and 2 barracuda. One tip- I would recommend bringing cash to pay the remainder of your balance. It may have just been something with our credit/debit cards but both got declined on the boat after our trip (we had used them that morning just fine at another location.) No biggie, but save yourself the hassle and credit card fee and just bring cash! Overall, great day!

Great experience for us, captain was knowledgeable and made sure we got some fish to take back home for a cook out the same night. His deck hand was amazing working very hard to make sure our lines were in the water as soon as a fish came off of it. 10/10 recommend

We are novices when it comes to fishing. Our son really wanted to try a fishing charter so we booked this. It was 3 of us, a helper, and the captain. The crew did all the hard work and we reeled in the fish. Our first stop was a bit of a dud and we didn't catch anything, but the second spot was great. We cought 7 or 8 king fish / mackerel. And took home 30 pounds of fillet fish ....

Everyone enjoyed our fishing afternoon with Keen M. From my 3 year old and 6 year old who got to reel in a monster barracuda. To my in laws who are avid fishermen but have never been fishing in the open sea. The captain got us on some fish and made sure we made multiple passes to take advantage. Great time had by all!
