Going Sport Fishing In Mexico

By Sean Elstins

The oceans off of the Mexican coast are full of a variety of fish species appealing to any kind of fisherman. Fishing is a very popular hobby for anyone visiting and living in Mexico. Swimming in the Mexican waters are fish like Marlin, Wahoo, Tarpon, Snook, and the beautiful Sailfish. The best fish to catch in Mexico are considered by many the best fish to catch in the world.

Blue Marlin is a popular fish for sport fishermen in Mexico. Being the heaviest and largest of the marlins they are a very tough fish to catch. The Blue Marlin puts up a big fight and has an incredible jumping range. September through November is the prime season for catching any kind of Marlin with October being the best month.

The Black Marlin can be hard to distinguish from the Blue Marlin. The stripe on the back of the Black Marlin is much darker than that of the Blue. The Black Marlin is also more aggressive and much harder to reel in. For many fishermen the Black Marlin will fight for many hours, and a lot of the time it wins.

One of the most beautiful fish in Mexico's oceans is the Sailfish. It is an elegant jumper, but it also is easier to reel in than the Marlin since they tire out much faster. These fish swim in the oceans off of Mexico year round, but autumn is the best time to catch them. Trolling using live bait or lures, and kite fishing are proven ways to catching Sailfish.

The Wahoo fish can be found off the coast of Mexico during the summer months. They are easy to find either around reefs or further out in the ocean. Tuna, squid, small mackerel, and puffers are some of the prey that the Wahoo feeds on.

Another type of fish to catch in Mexico is Snook. Snook can also be found all over Central America. Being cold-blooded animals as most fish are, they are sensitive to temperature. The deeper more open waters are home to the bigger Snook.

Tarpon can be found year round, but the largest Tarpon are more abundant in June and July. One out of five Tarpons are actually reeled in on average. Tarpon fishing has been said to be one of the most enjoyable experiences for fishing in shallow water due to exciting display the fish gives when shaking the hook.

Fishing off the coast of Mexico is one of the most exciting experiences all year long. There are many species of fish in these waters that appeal to fishermen looking for a fun experience, a big challenge, or a unique catch.
