What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Cancún, Quintana Roo for the first time?

Choose this operation and pray for good weather if you're going in June. When the weather shuts down offshore fishing the mangroves provide wind blocks and calmer water. You don't have to bring anything, everything you need is provided.

Make sure the Captain presented on Fishingbooker will be your captain not someone else. Find out about transportation to and from the marina. Will the Captain provide experienced crew members. Will the Captain have ice, live bait, and a live well that works.

Easy booking and the guide really goes all out to make sure you have a great experience. Hard worker, funny and I have caught fish 4 years in a row and will continue to use this company. I have had the same guide Mauricio which is Awesome!

Take some Dramamine if you think you may possibly get seasick. Even on a tame day like we experienced today we were rolling in 6-10ft swells all day which can take its toll on you. Also wear a sun shirt and wear plenty of sunscreen!

I researched the fishing prior and it showed it was low/gloom but we were catching so much barracuda that we headed out for sailfish and then we we’re got into bonita that I wasn’t sure if we could hold more fish lol. Then we cought 4 sail fish. 3 at one time

Be prepared to have the fishing experience of a lifetime with these guys. If you've never been deep sea fishing, I would highly recommend eating some Gravol About an hour before your trip. The swells can get pretty big and you are out there for quite a while so be prepared. Also, be prepared to have a sore arm from reeling in so many fish!

Inshore fishing is a great option for the winter months. You can do it most of the time when seas don’t allow you to go deep seas fishing. Still fun, still catching a verity of species. Kid friendly and close to shore.

Well the trip should have been canceled Lightning and thunderstorms a water spout 15 foot waves every one got sick couldn't stand up on the boat. Spent 3 hour holding on for dear life. Worse thing I ever did.

Weather could be tricky, so check the night before that your trip and captains equipment is still good. Check for additional fees with your captain before you come. This particular trip was what I expected, but some others charge more fees that were not listed

Come without expectations. It's fishing after all. The team will do their best. We caught so many fish our arms are sore from reeling them in. Bring snacks if you want them. Helpful on an 8 hour trip. And yes I would only go on an 8 hour trip. The value and experience is too great to pass up.

Martin and Spicy(deckhand) took great care of us and got us on fish within minutes of getting to the fishing grounds. We had doubles a few times. When we were done fishing Spicy made us ceviche. It was some of the best I had ever eaten. If I come back to Cancun, I will most definitely be reaching out to Martin again.

Bring Cash!!!!!!! Go with bigger boats for comfort, take at least 8 hours trip, and ask the captain to fish got the more difficult bigger fish first save the last few hours to catch the easiest fish.

Smaller boat and small crew. However wonderful trip for 2-4 adults due to boat size. We caught a giant barracuda with really no problem so the gear, tackle etc was effective. Crew was very very nice and understand English great. Give them a shot!!!!

I 100% recommend it to all ages. They were very professional and helpful about what we should do with our catch. We ate ceviche and fish tacos from oylur barracuda catch at the onsite restaurant. My only advice is is specify what you want cooked. We had 32 tacos and 2 bowls of ceviche for 3 people. My family had a great time!!!!

Don't go out if water conditions were like ours if you are prone to seasickness. Two of the four in our party got seasick because of the water conditions. The conditions were not the best, but the boat and crew were top-notch. We thoroughly enjoyed the fishing and the fish we caught made it worth it.

You don't go fly fishing in Cancun to learn fly fishing, should be able to hit a 3 - 5ft circle (max) at 40 - 50 ft (min) if you expect a good shot while Sight Fishing.

Definitely start with a lagoon fishing trip to make sure you do not get seasick l, then go for the bigger trips!

Bring lots of sunscreen and cover up as you are in the sun all day. Tip well as these people work hard making your dreams come true.

get to the marina early an hour if possible because of Uber cancellations and the security at the marina and the distance from the gate to the boat and leave time to run a credit card over a phone.

The captain and crew for very forthright in letting us know that fishing had somewhat slowed. However, we ended up having a very fun and successful day! If you listen to your crew and trust them they will do all they can to put you on the fish you want. For us, it wasn't about the type of fish but more about trying to find something to mount on our wall at home. I struggled with going for a trophy vs. food, but ultimately we ended up catching only bonita and tuna so we certainly enjoyed the best of both worlds being able to mount 2 trophy-quality fish in our 9-fish catch!

We caught a lot of yellowtail and brought them back to the hotel for lunch and dinner.

Take dramamine if you're sensitive. The wind was about 15mph and has been all week making the water a little choppy

It was our first time fishing in Cancun, and we lived this captain and team. They made it all so comfortable and easy for us. Great crew.

Just remember it is fishing … not catching !!! So be patient and bring a good attitude!! And weather plays a big part in ocean fishing !!! Tight lines and be safe !!!

This is for someone who truly wants an offshore fishing experience! Always remember you are fishing in the ocean so there will be waves!

Yes but it would be wise to let the rookie tourists know that the seas can be rough so sea sickness is a strong possibility. Other boats were head in early because of seasickness.

Half day (four hours) is not enough.....do a 6 hour minimum! getting live bait can eat up some good fishing time.

If you want to catch barracuda then stay close to shore. If you have a longer trip and go out deep you may catch less but will be bigger fish

If you book on a smaller boat expect to get a little wet as the wind and waves can be unpredictable.

It’s definitely a fun trip and would highly recommend for avid or first time fishermen/fisherwomen.
