Cozumel bottom fishing is a
very good activity if you're interested in
catching a greater number of fish, but don't
much care how big they are. You won't reel
in any marlin or sailfish this way, but almost
all bottom fishing trips result in catching at
least something. Some of the fish you'll
be fishing for include triggerfish, snapper,
grouper, and amberjack, as well as reef fish.
This is an excellent way to catch something to
eat later that day, and is fun for the whole
family. After your day, we can even cook
up your catch in the captain's restaurant if you
like.
Your crew
Our captains and crews are
among the most experienced in Cozumel,
participating in all the tournaments, and
holding many trophies. The boat is
private, just you and your crew will be onboard.
Methods
Bottom fishing in Cozumel is
done by dropping lines straight down and deep,
with hook, bait, and weight, until they reach
the bottom. We'll do this while drifting,
rather than trolling, and normally close to
shore. In Mexico, many crews don't even
use rods for this type of fishing, preferring to
use hand-reeled line instead, as they've been
doing for their whole lives.
The Fish
Grouper and Snapper are good
bets throughout the colder months of the year,
while in summer you'll plan more on triggerfish,
amberjack, flounder and reef fish. There is always
something to catch in Cozumel!
