Charter Fishing in Cancun
Cancun is possibly best known today as a favorite spring break destination. It has had many ups and downs over its long history, which stretches back well over a thousand years. In those days, Cancun was heavily populated by Mayan-speaking Indians; these people were known for their sophisticated urban culture and complex, stratified (and even oppressive) society. That population was decimated by disease and warfare with the coming of the Spaniards in the 16th Century.
Less than forty years ago, Cancun was a tiny fishing village and Mexican military base with a population of less than 120. Today, it is a bustling tourist destination and a haven for sport fishermen who want to test their skills in the waters where the Caribbean meets the Gulf of Mexico.
Sport fishing is only a small part of what Cancun has to offer, however. Many of the 140 all-inclusive hotels offer unlimited meal services, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, non-motorized water sports and other activities. History and archaeology buffs who enjoyed the Mel Gibson film Apocalypto will be interested to know that the ruins of great Mayan cities such as were depicted in the movie are not far from Cancun; several tours of these ruins are offered to visitors at steep discounts of as much as 40 percent.
Sport fishing is possible year-round due to Cancun's tropical climate. Average temperatures range from a low of 68 degrees in the winter to a high of 91 in the summer. The weather can change frequently and dramatically, however; rain and sun at the same time is not unusual.
