Puerto Vallarta Fishing Charters – American Owned & Backed by 36 years of experience.
February fishing Puerto Vallarta Mexico. What to expect? How long should we go? What size boat will we take? What will we catch? Just a couple of the questions I get everyday when answering calls and e mails about fishing here in Puerto Vallarta. We need to know first how many people will be in your group so I can put you and your group on the proper size vessel. We offer 28 ft. super pangas.
Puerto Vallarta fishing February has started off with marlin, sailfish, and some Mahi-mahi action. The water has cooled down a bit but is still sitting around 75 to 80 deg. In most places inshore and offshore. The offshore bite has been great around 5 to 7 miles offshore. The best spots have been where we are finding the right thermoclines along with the blue water the pelagic game fish such as marlin, sailfish, and mahi-mahi enjoy feeding in. You may ask how do I find these spots to fish in or make sure at least your charter Captain in Puerto Vallarta will know this information. There are several ways to obtain this information. We gather information from all of our boats daily, our competitors, and use one of the online services that we pay a yearly fee to receive this info. We gather the chlorophyll, altimetry, currents, and surface temperature. With this info along with direct contact with all our charter Captains here in Puerto Vallarta, we have a good idea where we can catch that next trophy for our clients. It’s no wonder we bring in more trophy fish than the other charter boats each year. If you are looking for a big marlin, sailfish, or mahi-mahi our company Puerto Vallarta fishing charters can’t be beaten for the price and service we offer. Some of the best baits right now are the live goggle-eye on the slow troll. The mullet sewn up with a hot lure on top is also producing several fish. The black Bart lures are tearing the water up the last couple of weeks along with Joe Yee, marlin magic, and Pakula lumo. These are the year in and year out the best offshore lures for fishing the Mexican waters here in Puerto Vallarta.
The Puerto Vallarta fishing has been off the charts. Inside the bay and offshore. The bite has been great for the 6 hrs. trips for families and the guys that want to go offshore hard core fishing here in Mexico. The best fishing in the bay has been for the California bonitas, Spanish mackerel, snapper, yellowtail and a few Mahi- Mahi. We had also had the pleasure of having the humpback whales along for all the trips. The kids love seeing the whales, but then we all do. If you live in Houston Texas, Phoenix, Arizona, or one of the other great places in the United States you don’t get to see the huge mammals every day. What a show they can put on. This is a big plus when fishng here in Puerto Vallarta.
The fishing In Puerto Vallarta is at it’s best. The weather, temperature, and fishing bite are almost perfect. I always like to start with the Puerto Vallarta bay fishing as this time of the year we always have a lot of families that like short trips as many people have young kids. If the kids are less than 10 years old we recommend 6 hrs. or less for bay trips. Of course, some kids can fish all day depending on the ages. Even though there are a lot of huge mantas, sea turtles, dolphins, and humpback whales to see along the way out and back. The kids love it but then again who doesn’t ??
The bay fishing trips are resulting in snapper, Spanish mackerel, Bonita, mahi-mahi, and even a couple of sailfish on the last couple of trips. The seas have been flat making for a smooth ride for all. The best bet is to book your trip along with the tides to give you a better chance of hook-ups. The is still plenty of bait in the Bay so be sure you have live bait to take on all trips.

Being the largest natural bay (bahia) in Mexico, it’s no wonder it is home to the Humpback Whales who come to Vallarta every year to have their young. Giant Manta rays, Sea Turtles and Dolphins can be found year round. Nuevo Vallarta is also home to some of the best year around Big Game Fishing in the world! Coming soon we will have the November Sailfish and marlin Championships. The sport fishing has been super fantastic this year, we have seem more sailfish, marlin and mahi-mahi than any year before. All of our deep sea fishing Puerto Vallarta trips have been hot with lots of fish boated everyday. The great weather we have been having has really heated up the deep sea fishing and we have had great sailing cruise here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.. The sunset cruises here in Vallarta have been offering spectacular sunsets that are some of the best of the year.
