Default Re: Any Tips for a Cozumel Fishing Charter?

I'll add to the cautionary tales. This is from several years ago, but there's a charter shop right off the main drag. Looks good from the outside, nice paintings of big game fish. I set up a guided trip. I was fly fishing - targeting mainly bonefish and permit on the flats. The guide was just awful - spooked every fish we saw and then HE started fishing with a spinning outfit and hooks into a small 'cuda to prove to me there were fish in the water. Let's just say that we had a few words in spanish and english about what I was paying him to do.

So then he takes me to a 'secret cove' that he says we need to walk to. He beaches the boat and we proceed to embark on a 45 minutes hike to a fishless puddle. Worst experience fishing of my life.

If I were you I'd consider just taking a 8 to 9 foot light spinning outfit and throw metal, topwaters and small swimmers from shore.
