Sometimes you catch, sometimes you don’t. Just got back from Mexico and we got two Sailfish, 90 and 110 pounds. Out of roughly 40 boats on the water from the marina that day we were the only one to catch fish.
On that note, I’ll always pay for a deep sea trip for a day. If fishing is slow, ask to be taken in shallow to a reef and do some inshore fishing. Snapper, pargo, grouper, triggers, etc will keep you busy, and if you’re in the right spot you can dive for rock lobster and they will usually cook it for you on the boat.
Also don’t rule out shore fishing. Varadero has awesome shore fishing and you can catch some big fish right from shore off the rocks and the beaches, and in some of the canals and bays. I’ve hooked some monsters in the mangroves.
