If you want to catch the big fish come in May, Jun and July. There is always fish to catch all year long!

We didn't fish Playa del Carmen it was Puerto Adventuras. Ask your hotel to arrange it then hopefully health and safety will be observed.

Patience, the weather and the sea conditions were indifferent this time of the year but there are some fantastic fish to catch, other holidays makers who we chatted to caught some huge fish.

March is typically slower fishing for sailfish, Marlin, etc. The bottom fishing was decent.

I honestly have no idea. I'm sure some people had a great time, we for sure did not.

Be aware of the seasons. Fishing is much better in spring and summer for the bigger species

Start your boat ride with something for motion sickness like a good Scotch, and have fun!

Trust your captain. Bring sunscreen. Otherwise the captains will take care of you.

I would say okay because it’s the start of hurricane season and rainy everyday with wind.

The GPS puts you at the back entrance of the hotel, meet the captain on the beach by the bar.

Weather was sunny. The waves were rolling. And the catching was not so great in the afternoon.

Fishing is never guaranteed, and we caught fish that tasted delicious, so we can’t be mad.

Not much for large fish, so if that’s what you’re looking for I didn’t see it.

Have fun. Bring sunscreen. Hat. Towel to sit on. And remember it's fishing. Not constant action.

The port you sail from has a sea weed problem but look and smell past that. It’s well worth it.
