Costa Maya Real Estate Area is Growing in Popularity for Sport Fishing

Taking a break from the Costa Maya real estate activities, last weekend I witnessed sport fishermen who came to visit Mahahual from all over the states of Quintana Roo and Yucatan to compete in the second annual competition, “El Dorado de Plata 2010” (“The Silver Mahi Mahi 2010”). 43 fishing boats entered with the winner, from Playa del Carmen, fishing a 36 pounder (16kg) mahi mahi.

There are various cities in the Mexico real estate market who are well known for deep sea fishing.  Mahahual and the Costa Maya area are growing in popularity for competitive sport fishing, with a few new tournaments being held annually. In May Mahahual hosted the Governor’s Cup tournament and at the end of this month, a new fishing tournament will be incorporated into the fishing agenda, The Mahahual Cup. These tournament’s are great for tourism as they take place in the months when the hotels and vacation rentals have lower occupancy. The prizes are generous (cash, fishing rods, new trucks and cars) and attendance is increasing at every event.

Sport fishing in the Costa Maya waters you can catch blue marlin, white marlin, mahi mahi, king fish, wahoo, tuna to mention just a few. The sport is proving to be popular as these fish can be found relatively close to shore compared to other areas on the coast.

For those not interested in sport fishing, you can relax on the Caribbean beach and enjoy watching the herons and pelicans fishing!
