Got a really cool trip coming up in February. A guy from Wisconsin is doing a research project with some colleagues at a University in central Mexico on goodeids. Goodeids are small livebearers endemic to the area (think platies, mollies, killifish, etc). They want to get the public more involved, so they're putting together a trip for aquarium hobbyists to help out and see the fish in their native habitat. They had trouble finding enough people to go, so somehow I got an invite. Pretty soon a second spot opened up, so I invited a friend from Florida who's also into microfishing / lifelisting. We'll help out with the project as much as possible, but if any hook & line fishing opportunities come up we'll take advantage of them. Should be some tilapia and cichlids we can catch, and of course plenty of micros.
The main trip doesn't visit either of the coasts, so we decided to go to Acapulco for two days so we can fish saltwater a bit. We booked a hotel that has some surf and rocks that you can fish off of. We'll probably pay a fisherman to take us out in a boat during the day.
Anyone been to Acapulco and have advice? Advice for Mexico in general would be good too.
