Fishing in Playa Del Carmen - A Must Have Fun Filled Experience

It's no secret that Playa Del Carmen and the Riviera Maya in the yesteryears were small fishing towns. If you love fishing, look no further, because fishing in Playa Del Carmen is a much-admired activity which will give you memories to cherish for a lifetime. If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can even book a Playa Del Carmen fishing charter on which you can try snorkeling and scuba diving escapades too along with other adrenaline rushing activities.

Playa has been geographically blessed with ripe angling conditions in two major ways: First, the island of Cozumel is located just east of Playa’s shores. Second, the entire area is basically situated on the very edge of a large underwater valley, bringing offshore fishing as close to the shore as you’ve ever had it.

Playa Del Carmen has open fishing season year-round, although there are certain things to take into consideration. If you plan on doing offshore fishing on your own you need a fishing license – if you don’t have this, you need to go through a tour operator. Because Playa Del Carmen experiences wonderful and lovely weather year round, there are armies of Marlin and other fish just off the shore of Playa del Carmen, Cancun, and Cozumel readily available for you!

TYPES OF FISHING

BOTTOM FISHING – If you're more of a bottom fishing person, look forward to groupers and a variety of snappers such as Mutton Gray, Yellow Tail, and Cubera. If you’re a beginner angler or are vacationing with one, you can get a little bored with bottom fishing. Often the sea becomes a bit rowdy thus making the bottom fishing more challenging. Be sure to ask your captain for advice if you’re opting for this type of fishing.

This area is perhaps more famous for its fantastic diving and its amazing Mayan ruins, but the truth is that fishing is here is ranked extremely high by serious anglers from all over the world.
