The Puerto Vallarta fishing report starts off with some changes this month. First and foremost is the cooling weather and some water temperature changes In the bay and offshore. We had incredible temperatures in November to fish off of. Since the temperatures had dropped a few degrees inshore and offshore fishing. We have had to rethink our fishing places and plans. Such as switching lures, running different baits, and changing some of the fishing spots we like in the winter months. The water never gets really cold here in the Bay or offshore. But it does have an effect on our fishing and the way that we fish during the winter months. Let’s take a look at some inshore action first.

Marlin, sailfish, tuna, and Mahi Mahi. We also have a couple of fishing tournaments coming up in the November 5th Los Muertos tournament. This is one of the biggest tournaments of the year, usually, around 200 boats enter this tournament and target mostly mahi -mahi and sailfish. This is a great tournament for the locals and international fishermen alike. There are some great prizes this year 350,000 pesos.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report September 2022
This September our fishing report starts off with more of what we had last month. The big marlin, sailfish, and mahi-mahi have started to move into our fishing grounds. The weather has been perfect with the passing of a few storms offshore. Not many people know September as one of the best months to fish in Puerto Vallarta. First, there are fewer people here with school back in full swing in the United States and Mexico. Second, we have more bait that comes into our bay and offshore fishing area. If you read my fishing report you will always hear me write about following the bait trail. If you are on the bait you will be on the fish. One of the last factors is it’s still summertime and days that are longer. Sun comes up here in September 7.30 am and sets about 8.30 p.m. Giving us plenty of daylight hrs. To hunt down any type of fish you may be looking for. September is a great month for Dorados, sailfish, marlin, tuna and all the game fish you want to catch in the bay of Puerto Vallarta. Let’s talk about where we fish in the month of September.
