Fishing Jamaica- Montego Bay in Feb?

[cslater]

I will be spending a week at a resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica in late February. I was wondering what sort of do-it-yourself fishing might be available. I'm not really interested in spending several hundred bucks to spend the day trolling the reefs for marlin.
Can you catch fish from the beach?
What kinds of fish?
What sort of gear is required?
Do you need a fishing license??

Any info would be helpful.
