Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Cancun

Brian,

 

DIY in Cancun can be a tough sell.   The beaches on the ocean side always look amazing, but many of the hotels will string nets paralleling the beaches just to keep the urchins off the resorts so the gringos won't step on them.  The lagoon on the western side of the Zona Hotelera has snook and baby tarpon in it, but you'll need to find a place to rent SUPs or kayaks.  Oh yeah, there are crocs in there too, so beware.

 

Most people that are staying that far north in Cancun will take day trips to Isla Blanca, which is about 40 minutes away from the hotels.  Contact Kirk Seely at Cancun Fly Guides - fish@cancunflyguides.com .   They'll arrange to pick you up at the hotel, take you fishing, feed you, take pictures, and drop you back off.

 

If you want to travel further out and are a bit more adventurous, you have 2 options – Isla Holbox, and Cozumel, but you're looking at renting a car (about $65 a week) or taking an Uber or cab each way, anywhere from an hour and a half or more.

 

Let me know if there's anything else you want to know.

 

Regards,

 

 

R

I've fished Holbox for tarpon to the north and Punta Allen for permit to the south. Both are top-notch fisheries but not exactly easy to get to from where you will be. 

 

If all else fails, and you can't find anything DIY, try asking the lifeguards and sailing/SUP instructors along the beach hotels for advice. They'll speak English well and will appreciate una buena propina for pointing you in the right direction or even taking you out to the reef, themselves - which I've heard of at some of the high end resorts. 

 

¡Buena suerte! 

 

 

 

 

Try asking your concierge, and if they don't know, find a sailing or SUP instructor at one of the beach hotels and ask them for recommendations.

Richie, I'll be in the Hotel Zone, no wheels.  Not a whole lot of time but wanted to check the options.
