For deep-sea fishers, most of the excitements lie in the fact that many fish species fill the warm Caribbean waters throughout the year, guaranteeing that no two fishing excursions are the same. September through February is usually the height of the tourist visits in Caribbean – it’s common to reel in barracuda, mackerel, and red snapper. From February to April, it’s common to find some bigger fish such as kingfish, blue marlin, and a few small shark species. In summer, mahi-mahi and tuna are found in large schools around the Caribbean waters.

Cancun

Typical deep-sea fishing packages in Cancun last for 4 to 8 hours and often include the service of captain and the first mate. Aboard many fishing boats, you’ll find fishing gears, bait and F&B included in the fishing tour price. While many tour companies allow visiting tourists put together a fishing group to take advantage of discounted rates, it’s also possible to hire a private charter for a comfortable fishing trip in the Caribbean. Most importantly, in spite of promises for great deep sea fishing experiences, Cancun fishing trips are often inexpensive.

Costa Rica

After you arrive in Liberia International Airport, you’ll be just a short drive away from the waiting boat. There are fishing centers of Flamingo and Tamarindo with miles of beautiful beaches and a lot of marine attractions. If you’re in search of sailfish, go in summer for a wonderful deep sea fishing trips, although many fishes are also found year-round. In autumn, you might find big schools of several tuna species with a few weighing up to 300 lbs and many exceeding 50 lbs. In November to March you can find roosterfish. There is a good chance of battling brightly colored dorado fish, large marlin, and wahoo.

Cabo San Lucas

You can find many locations around Cabo San Lucas that are perfect for deep sea fishing. Many of the best fishing locations are within 50 miles of Cabo San Lucas. You may try the Tinaje Trough, a deep underwater canyon that has many fish species. Located between the Golden Gate Bank (twelve miles to the north) and the San Jaime Bank (Tinaje Trough’s deepest point), you’ll find a pathway of nutrient-rich underwater currents and also the best place for deep sea fishing. These warm currents carry large amounts of Skipjack Tuna, Blue Marlin, and Yellowfin Tuna.

Planning what to bring on a Caribbean vacation should be straightforward, there are a few things that we must remember to bring during Caribbean fishing trips. First off, sunscreen is a must! The Caribbean water reflects the sun and you will be more likely to get sun burn. Wear sunglasses and a hat as well. Wear light clothing, but not too loose that it can get caught easily in the fishing gear.
