What anglers said about fishing in Playa Del Carmen

Just be aware of the sargassum. It’s really bad getting on the boat. But once you’re on the boat they wash your feet and legs off with water. No big deal for my wife and I. The experience was top notch and we caught so many fish

The fishing is good but the seaweed is a pain. But that seems hard to avoid.

In June, expect onshore winds and choppy seas about 3 foot and sargasso weed which attracts mahi mahi and billfish. Arranging a crew that will work hard to clear the lines of seaweed is critical, including thelpibg out yourself to ensure clean baits in the trolling spread. That will greatly enhance your catch rate. Working hard produced a two sailfish at the same time for us and double Mahi, mahi

Waters were beautiful, but choppy. 4/5 in our party got sea sick, so I would recommend treating for this ahead of time if anyone is prone to this.

You will have to deal with seaweed in the summer months. The crew technically has to deal with it.

Playa is great, but would love to see a pier put in for the amount of charters going out each day.

First mate had to keep checking the bait because of the grass that was floating. Had a nice day a little choppy but we stayed out for four hours.

I wouldn't suggest ever taking small children on a private fishing charter and thats why I opted for not good for children. Teens who are familiar with fishing and respect the sport yes that would be fine. I would recommend Alfonso regardless of the time of year. Knowledge has no time limits

I think this is a solid spot with active fish. Be prepared for choppy waters but good fishing.

Wait until late April or even May if fishing for Mahi or marlin is your priority. This was a great family trip with snorkeling and thrill of fishing for big fish for our kids. It’s all about luck this time of year.

Of course kids could be on the boat they might get bored, I wouldn't bring little ones on board, but that may just be me. Just remember that there are no guarantees ? I think we were one of the only boats that caught something today, there is some luck involved. Sometimes the fish just aren't there.

They help you a ton so no worries about having to bate your hook or filet your fish. The water was beautiful and we tried a variety of fishing. The most successful was bottom fishing

It’s not the major season in February but we caught a bunch of fish off the bottom. Always love getting out on the ocean with a rod in the water.

Go for a3/4 or full day. This will give you opportunity to try a few different types of fishing. While some people enjoy trolling for the bigger fish, there might not be enough time for everyone to catch a large fish, so split your day up a bit. spend part of the of the day bottom fishing so that everyone can catch lots of fish of all sizes.

Be patient it’s called fishing for a reason. If you have a great captain like I did he will make it happen. Also know the odds of catching the type of fish you want to catch that way you won’t be disappointed if you don’t catch it. Timing is everything. But as fishing goes a catch is a catch. Now let’s go fishing!!!
