Fishing in Mayan Riviera

Deep Sea Fishing in the Riviera Maya

Fishing in the Riviera Maya mostly takes place 15-35 miles offshore. There, sport fishing guides look for marlin, sailfish, wahoo and dorado. Full day trips are recommended for this discipline. The best Riviera Maya Fishing charters use natural bait such as Bonito and Blue Runners; Ballyhoos fresh fish strips and artificial bait with exciters are also very popular for billfish fishing.

Bottom Fishing in the Riviera Maya

Bottom fishing in Riviera Maya can be practiced all year round in principle. Fishing guides prefer this technique for the winter because at this time the deep sea fishing and fishing in the lagoons is less productive. Fishing with natural bait such as shrimp, squid or sardine, you can catch amberjack (amberjack), pagel, grouper and all kinds of bottom fish.

Fly Fishing in the Riviera Maya

In the bays and lagoons with crystal clear waters, Anglers can fish the local Pagel and Permit from the shore. Bocapaila and the lagoons of Ascension Bay, Isla Mujeres and Isla Blanca or Nichupté lagoon are very interesting spots to chase tarpon, permit, bonefish, Jack Crevalle with poppers, jigs, stick bait and walkers.

Let's not forget that the Riviera Maya is ideal for fly fishing. With equipment adapted for saltwater you can fish for strong predators such as tarpon, permit, bonefish and Jack Crevalle.
