As part of this Cancun fishing guide for beginners, we will present the most important tips for you to get started in this activity and get in touch with nature.

One of the most popular activities for tourists in the Mexican Caribbean is fishing in Cancun. All you need is a little practice, previous knowledge, and equipment, depending on what you want to fish. Best of all, there is no age or physical condition required to start fishing.

It is recommended that you know what species of fish you can find in the area you plan to fish. Once you have chosen the place where you want to fish, checked that the equipment is adequate and you know what your objective is, you can enter the world of fishing.

The basic float fishing equipment is the most convenient to start with. It consists of a fishing rod, fishing line, hook, reel, sinker, bait and float.

The float holds the bait in the water and can stay alone until a fish swims into the area. It can also be moved with the rod reel or left to the left of the current of the spot. Fish are often attracted to places that offer them food and shelter.

With this in mind, it is important to look for a spot with a sudden change in depth or other changes in soil structure.

Another important “fishing tip” is that fish eat at dusk, which is the most effective time to fish in the morning and evening light.

The bait you will use is also important. Although stores offer a variety of synthetic baits that look more like live bait, fish feed on insects and aquatic organisms.

This makes for a wide variety of baits, from traditional worms to grasshoppers, shrimp, liver and bacon.

Another thing to keep in mind when getting started in fishing for beginners is not to apply sunscreen before putting the bait on your line as this smell will repel fish.

There are many places with fishing regulations and in some countries, they may vary from region to region. Be sure to check the fishing restrictions of the place and avoid fines which are often very high these days.
