FISHING IN TWO MORE LOCATIONS NEAR MAHAHUAL
Once you have tried your hand at spearfishing and in the elegant island of Mahahual and if you still have time or can extend your tour, there are two more locations near Mahahual where you can have the pleasant experience of fishing in the Riviera Maya - Chetumal Bay and in Lagoons. Tarpon and snook are the two fish species that are found in lagoons which are connected via "cenotes" or underground rivers that meet the Caribbean Sea. Tarpons are available here in different sizes and are found in Mangrove lined lakes that tend to be quiet even on windy days making for excellent fly fishing.
CENOTE LAGOONS – These lakes are unlike anywhere else you will fish in the world. All the lakes hold Tarpon and Snook who smell the fresh water leaving the caves on the ocean side and swim through the caves, under the beach and up into the lakes. Here, Tarpon is famous for fighting as they spend much of their time in the air during the catch. On an average, most anglers spend at least two days sailing and fishing in Riviera Maya, thus chasing tarpon and snook.
CHETUMAL BAY FLY FISHING – Chetumal Bay is home to plenty of bonefish. Typical Bonefish weighs around between 2-3 pounds, with some fish 3-5 pounds and just a handful in the 6-8 pounds category. Catching 10-20 bonefish in one day is not uncommon. Try your hand at fly fishing under the guidance of an expert aboard a private luxury charter. There are also deeper areas in the Mangroves which boast a good Tarpon population. The Tarpon found in this area are mainly adults - much larger than "Baby Tarpon" and of course, provides a greater challenge to catch your trophy fish.
Now, in detail, you have one more destination famous for fishing in Riviera Maya – a small but awesome place to have memorable vacations. Do not skip Mahahual on your plans during your next visit to Riviera Maya!
