Make sure you look at the broker site and pick a good captain. Read the reviews. The fishing is excellent in December.

The big fish are around in Dec. but there’s still plenty of amberjack, snapper and grouper to have fun.

Be prepared for all weather conditions to happen on a single trip. from really hot no wind with sun, to down pour with heavy rain a gusty winds and rough waters.

It is a tough balance for price vs boat quality. the water can be rough. It was very rough yesterday in 6-8 foot swells. Hard to focus on fishing with the bow crashing up and down over 12 feet.

Bring motion sickness pills. I got sick halfway through the trip. It didn’t matter though, because our trip was so successful, and we caught 33 fish. I had a wonderful time.

follow the captains instructions. get him on a good mood talk to him and his crewmates. they will reward you with more information on fishing and you can learn alot from them.

For us it was good, however the captain told us that April - July is the best time for fishing in Playa del Carmen.

August is hot, the big fish are far out, but there are plenty of smaller fish that are fun to catch near the shelf and in the shallower waters. Bring a hat!

Be flexible. It's fishing and not catching. If you are flexible and give a try for different species, you should eventually hook into something. Be patient. It's nature.

Let captian know which fish you want to target so they can have the correct bait and poles rigged the right way.

The trip to deep water was short hooked up on Mahi quickly and caught a big Barracuda trolling back to the beach.

Be prepared to have to be patient to hook into fish. Definitely bring anti seasickness medicine if you feel you need it.

Have patience, and with a little luck you can catch some nice fish. You won't catch them all but enough to get the blood pumping and have a nice memory.

Hit or miss on trolling, but very short trip to be fishing in deep water for big fish so well worth the attempt. Beatitiful water and a pleasant day whether lots of fish are caught or not.

The seas were calm and beautiful but we did not Fairchild any bigger fish like Mahi mahi. The kids has a great time and caught 9 trigger fish!

Great weather for fishing. But not high season. With the right crew you can still get a good catch!

We were told that if you're looking to catch the bigger fish, May through August is the ideal time to go.

I am not sure if all of the trips are the same, but we wanted to fish, not just be along for the ride and to reel. I would recommend a shorter vs. longer trip.

you will get wet boarding the boat as boats are not on docks. bring snacks and drinks of your choice and enjoy the experience. I

The waters may be tougher than you’re used to so come prepared with anti-nausea if you think you may be sea sick

I would recommend fishing here in the summer if possible, but we were still able to catch fish with our great guides in March.

The earlier in the day the better. Fishing is better and you miss the mid day heat. The sun off the water is very hot!!

Hard for me to say. Fishing was slow when went but crewed working the whole time trying to get fish.

Our crew said that May is the ideal month to fish although you can catch interesting fish year round. We were on the tail end of the best fishing season when we went in late June.

Book an early trip, it is fishing, so enjoy your day, and resoect your crew, doing all the can to put you on fish and deliver a great day.

Be patient…fishing isn’t best in the fall, but still plenty of fish to be caught if you’re patient.

Sit back and enjoy. Also don't be discouraged if you don't catch anything, there will be better days. After all, it's called fishing not catching.

Fish for whatever is biting and go with a captain, like Captain Jorge, who has been fishing there foot a long time and will put you on the fish.

We were able to catch fish at depth from 350-700. It was mostly red snapper and queen snapper. We were able to catch 12 fish within about 3 hours.
