What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Cancún, Quintana Roo for the first time?

Come hungry and bring your catch to a local restaurant for fresh ceviche, sashimi and tacos.

The time of the year we went wasn't the best for the species we were after. Still lots of fun

Just watch out for rough seas! Otherwise they do their very best to get you on the fish!

Yes. It's fun. Bring water/sunscreen/and a positive adventurous attitude and you'll be fine.

caught 15 fish, mostly snapper, and a few jack. Saw a few tarpon, but could not get them to bite.

Wasn’t really sure if we’d catch much being out of the better season for fishing. Was quite surprised to catch so many today. A variety of fish reeled-in in a 6 hour trip.

Yes. We let Captain recommend what to chase. We just wanted to catch fish. He kept us on big Amberjacks. Caught more than 2 an hour with 2 fisherman. Great trip.

Fishing isn't always catching but I appreciate a crew that works very hard. We had a great haul but even if we hadn't I'd have been pleased with the effort.

Beach fishing is almost out of the question, deep sea is a lot of trolling and hit or miss the lagoon is the place to get on the water

Fishing does not equal catching. You can expect wind in January and that can make the conditions tough. Even the deep sea charters were forced in to fish nearshore species.

Book an inland fishing trip until you get here and see the weather before booking a deep sea trip. Found out the hard way

Fishing is always good but you have to make your own catch report . Put the time in casting while your on the boat you can't catch fish if your not casting your line

Check the wind report before you go out. Wind = rough seas that make it uncomfortable and difficult to fish.

Be aware that the weather can very a lot during the winter months. Be ready to be flexible with your date

Book with a charter thats experienced and knowledgeable like this one! Martin was very responsive to questions. Prices are great!

The barracuda were a good fight, make for a great photo with the sharp teeth, and were surprisingly great to eat (light white meat like snapper).

When they hint that it may be rough , they know the area. We had fished rough water before. others will not enjoy it.

I recommend the Nuj Kay. The captain and first mate were very friendly and worked hard to put us on fish.

this is a great trip for those who enjoy being more active in their fishing with casting and using plastic / live bait to target selective fish.

Normal fishing experience. Bring a snack. Plenty of drinks on board. Water. Soda and beers. Variety of fish will be caught. Excellent experience!

I’ve been out on other boats and got fish airflow to keep somebody cool is key this time of year fishing in Cancun

Bring the motion sickness medicine if you even remotely get sea sick. Been deep sea fishing a lot and never gotten sick but the waves are big and will definitely take you for a ride.

You will have a great time with Mario. His boat is amazing and knows his stuff. Book it you will not regret it...

Beware of going deep sea fishing if you are prone to sea sickness. These waves will make people who never get sick, sick.

I did a 4 hour trip. I highly suggest doing longer. Fishing was slow but what we did manage to hook up was worth the wait

This charter was at the start of the Wahoo (Ono) season and as most know timing is crucial. Make sure to have sunscreen, fishing shirt and snacks.

This is the first my husband and I fished in Cancun, it was exceptional! Captain Mauricio taught me how to fish patiently. I caught two fishes on my own, we highly recommend anyone to try.

Its worth the experience but try to come when the fish you want are in season and its not 40 degs outside.

I would not solely due to the fact that we paid $1000+ for 7 hours (short of the 8 hours we booked) + only 1 fish that was greater than 14in but less than 28in.

Bring your own snacks. It is hot and no AC on this boat to escape it. The fishing was OK, but nothing spectacular.
