Mahi Mahi in December!! Cozumel
Mahi Mahi in December!! Cozumel
Dec 5, 2018 Cozumel
An awesome day of fishing and fun. Since our friends were staying in Playa del Carmen and had to take the ferry to Cozumel, we scheduled to go out at 8am. We had a little bit of wind from the north-north east and a beautiful sunny day. Got out to the channel between Cozumel and the Yucatan Peninsula to look for seaweed lines and birds. After trolling for little while the action started, we all had fun hooking, fighting and finally landing the fish. It is supposed to be wahoo and tuna season, but we can still find mahis around. One more good thing about having a “tropical winter”

We´ve been having winds from the north and north-east, so fishing in deep water has been quite an experience jeje, nevertheless, mahi-mahi and wahoo love the weed lines so we´ve been catching them regularly, have not seen them yet on the tournament sizes but they are big enough to get to your dish. Some of our clients decided to mix fishing with snorkeling (just to take a break from the wavy seas) and others to fish in shore with great results, Barracuda and Mutton snapper make a great fight on light tackle plus a great snapper dinner for the family. Fortunately, Cozumel can give us the opportunity to enjoy more than one activity on the same charter. greetings and keep fishing!!

Still getting The most out of the sea weed lines, been catching mahis and wahoos following them. Sunny days, some days waves make us remember Why the sea Is Not for everyone jajaja so We have decided To go un shore And look for calmer waters. Lots of success!!! Barracuda, amberjack and mutton snapper have been hitting our lines

We've been having Big sea weed lines so mahi-mahi Fishing is great on these days. Getting enough hook ups for everyone on the boat. In this area we use ballyhoo and feathers to attract them, and in our particular case, light tackle to make the most out of the fight. Overall, great Fishing trip!!!
