Deep Sea Fishing in Mexico

Looking for the ideal vacation? It doesn’t get much better than casting a line offshore in Mexico. There’s the Pacific Ocean with its endless opportunities, the Sea of Cortez with its treasure trove of fish species, and the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea with some world-famous fish. Pair up with a Mexico deep sea fishing charter and get your fish on!
 
Depending on where you are, you can catch anything from Yellowtail Amberjack to Billfish. Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and Sailfish are available all over the country, while three kinds of Marlin are possible in the Pacific, and Swordfish add to the two Marlin species on the Atlantic side. 
 
The Sea of Cortez with its unusually warm waters offers a year-round haven for plenty of normally pelagic fish. Striped Marlin are here whenever you visit, with Yellowtail Amberjack, Sailfish, and Tuna, being good options too. 
 
Hit resort towns such as Cabo San Lucas in Baja California, Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific, or Cancun and the rest of the Riviera Maya in the Caribbean. There’s also Ensenada just an hour and a half south of California or Puerto Peñasco (Rocky Point) near the Arizona border. 
 
Wherever you are, the fishing grounds will be at your disposal within minutes. Expect multiple hook-ups even on half day trips, while full day trips will maximize your chances of landing that trophy catch. Charter captains and their first mates will do whatever they can to make your dreams come true. 

Rules and Regulations

You’ll need a Mexico fishing license in order to cast a line offshore. Check with your captain if they can get it for you or if you need to buy it online before you go. Other than that, you should be aware that each angler can take 10 fish home per day, with a maximum of five of each species and one Billfish.

Go onto the boat with knowledge of the fish that are in season and you will have a great time. Pelagic fish are seasonal so expect to catch whatโ€™s actually in the waters at the time you go.

Make sure you bring your own lunch and some additional drinks if youโ€™re going on an 8 hour charter. Ask for the crew to get more ice and bait if itโ€™s supposed to be included. There c old be some missed opportunities. Also bring a positive mind set and patience if you want to catch one of the beautiful marlin. What an amazing species.

The heat and humidity in August may not make it the best time to go fishing. April, May and early June, and then more in the fall may be the best weather and bigger fish could be caught without traveling too far off shore.

If you are ok with out being sea sick, for sure go off shore. Lagoon fishing is for advance anglers capable to cast very close to mangroves without hanging in trees.

I would recommend that you learn enough Spanish to communicate well enough to understand what's going on. I speak very little Spanish and was dependent upon a translator during my trip- which proved costly.

Much calmer waters than I expected. 4-5' in 13 second swells are nothing. Really really hot in August so stay in the shade.

Waters were not too rough for me. Swells didn't seem over a few feet. Shore line was always in view. Maybe only 1/2 mile off shore at any time.
