Hey lilricky. I always love Cancun in February. It is an awesome time for Snook. Other species such as Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit and Bonefish may be present but not as abundant as the Snook.
Freshwater fish is pretty much out of the picture for Cancun. One will either fish from the shore or charter a boat for bigger species.
If you choose to take a flyswatter, I like to use 9-11wt rods. Be sure to have shock tip leaders and 40 to 50lb tippet. Slow to medium desent works fine. You will find the fish on the bottom most of all.
I like to use larger Clousers and baitfish looking Streamers. I also use a boomer line for added distance. I prefer my 11wt rod in a 12foot lenght or use a 13 1/2 foot spey rod for mega casting.
Light spinning gear can be used but you may not get the distance that you can with the fly or spey rod unless you set up with the Bubble/Fly type of setup.
You can use Streamer flies for this or make up some light weight poppers with a few wraps of lead wire to help with balance.
Let me know if you need more details. [cool]
