Coming down next week. This year we are adding a fishing charter to our schedule. We are going out on Monday. Just wonder if I could get some reports on what's biting. How are the boats doing ect. Also is there a fishing forum or any other place to get info. Thanks in advance. We are also diving with Blue Project several days.

In general this is the best time of year to fish Cozumel. From April into June the dorado (mahi mahi, dolphin) are usually running and the billfish (marlin and sailfish) are migrating through. You'll also sometimes catch blackfin tuna, wahoo, barracuda, and even the occasional king mackerel.
I started going to Cozumel for the fishing in the late 70's long before I started diving, and I still go there with fisherpersons who determine our days on the island on the basis of the phase of the moon and whatever voodoo they subscribe to to decide when they think the best fishing will be. We will be fishing there three days in May. Good luck, but leave a blue marlin for me!

Toadfish. Splendid is implied but not guaranteed.
Well I will show you the video of the winning blue we are going to land during the Rodeo de Lanchas Mexicanas in May. Maybe that will help? I will stop by in the Mercedes that blue is going to win for us.
Yesterday at Caleta, a fishing boat passed us announcing they had caught a tuna.
Not being a sushi guy, the mate talked me into trying thin, nearly see through slices of tuna taken off the fish we had just caught. I have to say it was really good.
Later I got the Ahi a Kondesa. When it arrived, my buddy told the waiter to take it back and finish cooking it.
We could win with tuna. If they were BIG or there were a lot of them....

Went twice in Dec. To say the fishing sucked would be an understatement. First day only catch was a smallish barracuda by my wife, second my son caught one 29.5" Mahi, his first which was cool, had it cooked at Jimmy Buffets, was wonderful. I caught probably a world record scrawled file fish (current IGFA is 4lbs 11oz.) but had no clue what the record was so no official measurements and of course the fish was released unharmed. Caught quite a few small grunts ect. but that is not really what was expected.
Yeah I know that does not help you for whats biting now but hey, any excuse to share a fish story!
Of course a bad day fishing still beats the Hell out of any day at work!
Capt. kept the cuda to eat
My file fish, not sure of the weight but I would bet over 5lbs
