I'm going down to Mexico in late February and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a great captain.I enjoy jigging more than trolling. I'm willing to travel to Isla or playa del Carmen
Thanks

Wasabi Loco is probably the best in the area. I used them last April and we had a really productive day with sails, marlin and wahoo but its hit or miss. They mostly troll since the drop off is right outside the inlet and the conditions many times makes drifting impossible for bottom fishing (it can blow pretty good depending on the time of year). They did say its your boat when you charter and they will accomodate what type of fishing you want but trolling seems to be the number one option for the area. For bottom fishing try the local pangas that launch from the beach in Playa del Carmen, PM me for more details.

Bring surf rods!
I was in playa del carmen in june.
I know its a different time of the year but....
I had seen bonefish, Jacks, huge permit and cuda while snorkling in 4 ft of warter just north of the ferry.

I used Captain Rick's out of Puerto Aventuras. Good people, reasonably priced. They have a website
Good Luck.

Get in touch with Pete from Atlantic bait and tackle pretty sure he has a boat down there and would know a bunch of good captains when I was there I should have bought my spear gun saw a bunch of snappers and other species while snorkeling. I was there in early March
