Morning light slides across the marina and the Caribbean pushes a cool, briny breath across the deck as your captain checks rigging and maps the drop-offs. In Cozumel the shelf falls away close to shore, which means deep blue water and big-fish opportunity are minutes, not hours, from the pier. The boat rocks with purpose; lines are baited, and the ocean dares you to pull something explosive into the cooler.
