Fresh Playa Del Carmen Fishing Reports

Be patient, no matter how good the fisherman is, sometimes the big ones don't bite!

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.

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

I would definanlty tru out the gardi crew, do not go through the resorts. Book your own trip on fishing Booker. Weve done the resort booking in the past and never even got a bite and it seemed like the crews never tried.

Seaweed was an issue but other than that a great day on the beautiful waters of Playa Del Carmen.

We preferred a larger boat but made do. Capt was very professional and accommodating to our needs.

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.

Go after what your captain recommends they live here and know what to Target at any given time of year.take all the precautions you can to prevent sea sickness it can be rough out there.

Bring a friend, It can be a work out when a fish is on. My guide dealt in cash only, so be prepared for that, going to downtown

Seas were a little rougher than I expected but not much anyone can do about that!

The best time to fish for marlin, mahi-mahi, and sailfish is April-June. When I went in December, the target fish is Amberjack

Boon with a reputable fisherman like sal for the best experience. He will never let you down!

Loved the fact you can get into 400+ feet of water while less than a mile off shore. Great experience.
