Mexico Fishing Vacation

Bordered on one side by the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortes and the other by the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, there is no doubt that Mexico presents you with one of the most excellent fishing regions in the world. A Mexico fishing vacation is a great way to enjoy the destination of your choice and appreciate the richness of Mexico's four coastlines. So scroll down below for a list of some of the best places for some Mexico fishing:

The Oaxacan Coast's Huatulco

Huatulco is the newest Mexico fishing vacation spot discovered by anglers who call the place as "something of a marvel." Certainly, the place is a far cry from the country's other coastal tourist spots that are hectic and somewhat haphazard because of the great number of tourists who come for a visit.

For most anglers, a Mexico fishing vacation is a time to be away from the crowd and enjoy the turquoise seas of the Pacific. Good thing that this is exactly the image that Huatulco, with its clean, inviting, and functional atmosphere, projects. And it helps a lot that sailfish and other pelagic game fishes await just a short run away from the rugged coastline of Oaxaca, just west of Guatemala.

"The place is great!" Enthuses Don Tyson, an International Game Fish Association trustee and also a globe trotting angler.

"It offers really nice hotels, great restaurants, and nothing too expensive. The people are uniformly friendly, too," he adds. "I've fished lots of places in Mexico; we had a great time in Huatulco. I recommend the hell out of it!"

Another globe trotting angler, Enrico Capozzi, holder of many of the 2- to 6-pound line class records for marlin, says about his Mexico fishing vacation days offshore of Huatulco on the Marlin Monroe, "We raised 237 sails in just 17 days of fishing and pitched to about 20 potential record fish, released nine of those and landed two. During that time, we also raised three blue marlin to the teasers, but we couldn't get any of them to bite."

Marlin Capital of the World, Cabo San Lucas

Located in 1,000 mile stretch of land known as Baja California, Cabo San Lucas provides the perfect Mexico fishing vacation for anglers and sport fishing enthusiasts looking for a chance to get a bite from the Marlin Capital of the World. The Sea of Cortez, one of the youngest seas in the world created by an earthquake some 10 to 15 million years ago, proves to be a unique fish trap that meets with the mighty Pacific Ocean. In attestation to that fact, hundreds of sport fishing boats, ranging from humble pangas to sleek yachts, fill every inch of available dock space. You can guess what they're all here for: A Mexico fishing vacation at the place they call "Land's End."

Even if you are a novice and know next to nothing about sport fishing, Cabo San Lucas is still a great place for a Mexico fishing vacation. Here, it's not unusual to make a catch on your very first trip, beginner and expert alike. The waters are just that rich with marlin and other sport fish.
