Recommendations for fishing in Cancun

Whether on the shore or a boat, it is necessary to have some basic fishing knowledge. As a beginner, you may be lucky, but you won’t always be, so keep in mind these recommendations for fishing in Cancun.

Make a safe start

If you are already planted to start fishing in Cancun, you should do it with the right foot and make a precise and powerful start to the water surface, keeping the rod as low as the wind when you send the rod in a vertical position and the wind will help propel the line.

Prepare a live bait

The objective of fishing in Cancun is to get a fish of any size, that fish must be attracted by “something”, here the bait is relevant and it should be live bait.

The naturalness of the swimming bait helps to hook any fish, for this, it is necessary to hook the bait in a shallow way and not deep, since this way it can be damaged and eventually escape.

We recommend hooking the hook in the upper jaw or dorsal fin so that it can swim naturally, which attracts fish.

Use a hook

Many of the catch escapes when loaded on the boat so it is important to use a hook behind the head so you can control the fish at the time of the hook.
