Puerto Vallarta fishing report March
When fishing in Puerto Vallarta during the month of March there are 4 things you’ll surely find. The 1st is gonna be some of the friendliest people in the world, also you will notice have incredible weather during March with cool afternoon breezes, many fun activities for spring break, and some of the best fishing on the planet.
During the month of March, we’ll see several changes in our fishing grounds and techniques. We’ll start to see the water warm-up which is a good thing for the larger marlin, blues, and blacks. We’ll see numerous schools of different bait entering the Bay and just offshore. This is a fantastic fishing factor here in Puerto Vallarta. With so much bait around the bay and so many fishing options, you will not know which fishing trip to choose. We have it all from bay fishing, overnight fishing, bottom fishing. Deep-sea fishing, offshore fishing, and reef fishing.
I always like to get people to let me know what they want to fish for when coming to Puerto Vallarta this time of the year. A lot of people don’t realize March is the best month for rooster fishing here in Vallarta. You will love taking one of our 8-hour fishing trips during this time of the year. With so many coastlines here have incredible Bay fishing along with all the other options I have listed above. And we also have incredible offshore fishing. Take a look at our incredible deep sea fishing rates.
One of my favorite trips is the 8-hour trip, where will fish inside the Bay and then blast offshore looking for some sailfish and marlin. If the marlin action is not so crazy Marlin then we will come back and hit some of those reefs for snapper, amberjack, and the most sought-after roosterfish.
One of the surprising things that you’ll find is that these bait balls can pop up anywhere at any time during the month of March. This happens quite often in the bay of Puerto Vallarta and offshore. As you’ve seen before in my fishing reports we have a lot of factors. We look for many fishing factors, but the number one factor you will find is the bait movement. If you find the bait you will differently find the fish. The fish love the right temperature water, clarity, but last but not least is the bait. Everything gotta eaten and so do the fish. So if you’re on the bait You’re on the fish. So the trick is to be on the bait when you got the right tide either coming in or going out. You will surely kill them fishing. See some fabulous action on YouTube
When the newcomers are coming around Puerto Vallarta that may need help and choosing the right size boat or the right day just give us a call. We’ve been here for over 35 years helping folks from Bay fishing to 3 to 4-day offshore fishing trips.
If we can’t catch it you don’t wanna hook it.
Hope to see everyone out there on the water having good success here and beautiful Puerto Vallarta, where the friendliest people in the world live
Until next time we’ll keep a hot fishing rod and a cold beer on the boat waiting for you

Puerto Vallarta fishing report January 2022
Happy new year and sea and greeting from Puerto Vallarta where the fish are always biting. This last Christmas and December saw some incredible action. We had rod bendings with sailfish, marlin, mahi-mahi and, much other pelagic fish. This was done mostly in the warmer waters hanging around longer than normal. The water temperatures are still in the high 70’s. Good news for all anglers venturing out for a fun day here in Mexico. Puerto Vallarta has been on fire to put it lightly. This coming January we are expecting much of the same weather 70 degrees to so and some fabulous fishing inshore and offshore. Seem like the lady anglers we have been taking out are kicking butt and taking names. Take a look at some of these January catches.
What can folks expect to catch this January? With the water temperature abnormally high that we are having and the overabundance of bait inside the bay and offshore we are predicting the same as December. Normally when the water changes we have species of fish that leave and look for warmer water or different baits but this year they have stayed. Seems like when one species of fish leave another comes along and keeps the fishing interesting here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.
These warm water temps have been producing sailfish out by the islands and offshore in good numbers. Several of our best Capts. Have been catching double and even triple hookups offshore. The marlin bite has been steady. The two best spots are the Banco and Corebetena. The same as the years past. There are the few marlins caught in the bay and along the north shore from time to time. The Mahi-mahi action has been off the charts. We had one-day last week where the clients had 20 dorados in one day and some marlin action. Most of the trips this last month of the year were offshore as the bite was so good. I’m sure we will be having much of the same this coming month.
The inshore action lit up the bay with the arrival of the humpback whales and all kinds of good-eating fish. What’s not to like about nonstop rod-bending action all day along with catching some fantastic eating fish to take back to the condo. The Spanish mackerel, California Bonita, snapper, and some Mahi-mahi have kept our fishing anglers busy this January. With the arrival of the new year 2022, we have some new trips to talk about.
We have been getting many requests for fishing and whale watching we decided to offer a fishing/whale watching combo trip. This is a 6 hr trip with grantee success on whales and fish. The whales are here every year from Alaska here from December to March and will have this special trip to offer everyone coming down to beautiful Puerto Vallarta where the friendliest people in the world live. Please contact us for more info or to make a reservation
Happy New Year and Merry Fishmas from Puerto Vallarta

Some of the obvious reasons are perfect weather, sunny skies, fantastic lodging, nightlife, and incredible fishing. Deep-sea fishing in the winter here is a Lot like Christmas, you never know what you are going to catch. The following species of pelagic fish will be had inshore and offshore.

The August fishing report here in Puerto Vallarta starts off with some exciting catches and some new twists. We’ve already seen record high water temperatures around 90 degrees and many different kinds of pelagic fish in Mexico be landed. When the water temperature gets past 80 degrees is when you start seeing a big fish move into our offshore waters. What can you expect to catch in Puerto Vallarta this summer? Offshore fishing is primed this time of the year for sailfish, marlin, mahi-mahi, yellowfin tuna. The real question is where do you have to go to catch them and how much will it cost?. We’re here to help people with their fishing, snorkeling, and all other water activities here in Puerto Vallarta. I always like to find out when folks are coming down and how many will be in their group for fishing. When we know this information we will be able to check the tides and moon phase try to get you out there at one of the optimum times to catch a trophy fish. With this information you provide about your family or groups, I will be able to put you on the correct size boat whatever your fishing needs may be here in Puerto Vallarta. This can be done simply with a quick email or call our toll-free number. If you’re coming down with your family or friends and want to get in some Bay fishing we got you covered here in Puerto Vallarta fishing charters. When we say bay fishing we usually refer to our four and six-hour fishing trips. We are located here in the Bay of Banderas which is also known here in the Pacific and is one of the largest bays in the world. we have a large abundance of fish either inshore and offshore. Be sure and take a look to get our Facebook page to see what we’ve been catching before you come down and please call me if you have any questions about deep sea fishing here.

The super ponga as a maximum of four people can get you out here for a really fun day. We also have a midsize 32-foot sportfisher which can accommodate four to six people here in the bay with six people being the max. This is a fantastic fishing boat with a cabin and Salon and very comfortable with the fissionable. If you’re looking to get offshore we have 40 and 50 Pro deep-sea fishing spinning on your group sign. These sorts of Fantastic Four action fishing in Kimberlin have many more lines than a super panga or a mid-sized sportfisher which greatly increases your chances of hooking up on that dream fish you’ve been trying to catch.
