Cozumel Flats Fishing

Flats fishing

Cozumel flats are the home of several gamefish as they enter the flats to feed. The shallow water provides a refuge for the many shrimp, crabs and juvenile fish upon which they feed. It is for this reason, that we fish here.

Most of flats fishing in Cozumel involves "pushing" (or poling-as the guides refer to it) the boat forward from a platform above the motor; or even wadding the flats and sight casting.

Sightfishing in Cozumel flats it´s a process similar to the Gondoliers in Venice. Allowing you to approach the fish without spooking them. The neat thing about sight casting is that you actually get to see the fish that you're trying to catch.
