Crazy,
We are staying for a week in Playa del Carmen at the Iberostar Lindo. There are ten people (five married couples) in our group celebrating the 50th birthdays of the guys this year.
We have booked an all day offshore charter for the guys. My understanding is that this is prime time for one of the marlin species, but we can also look for mahi mahi and maybe some bottom fishing.
I have booked a half day flats trip to Cozumel. My buddy and I will take an early ferry to the island.
I am also thinking of an inshore trip with my wife on a local "panga". I have read you can just negotiate a price with them on the beach.
I do not plan to bring any gear along with the exception of a few artificials as mentioned above, and possibly a couple of reels that I am comfortable with, spooled with 12-lb. test mono in case the guides' equipment is not that great. I wasn't planning on any do-it-yourself fishing per se, but maybe will see if I can rent a 7 or 8 foot rod and use my reels. I will bring some fluro leaders. Would 25-lb. test be OK?
