Either up top on a long line or short downrigger. This type of fishing produces large tuna,marlin, and big snappers. Imagine a snapper eating a 10-pound bait.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report for August 2024
August in Puerto Vallarta is a fisherman’s paradise here in Mexico with warm waters, the fish are hungry, and the action is non-stop. Let’s dive into this month of August and see it has in store for us.
Water Conditions and Temperature are always changing this time of the year. There are rains,winds but mostly sunny days with clear skies for fishing here in Puerto Vallarta.
The water temperature in August typically hovers around a balmy 82-84 degrees Fahrenheit. These warm conditions create an ideal environment for a variety of marine life, making it a prime time for fishing. The water clarity can vary, but generally, it’s good enough to spot baitfish schools and structures. There might be some days with slightly choppy conditions, but overall, the sea is usually calm and conducive to fishing. We use Terrifin App that tells us where the blue water is,water temperatures, and even thermocline breaks are in the bay and offshore.
Offshore Action in Puerto Vallarta for the month of AUGUST.
Tuna: August is tuna time in Puerto Vallarta. Yellowfin tuna are the main target, and they’re in abundance. We’ve been finding them in deeper waters, around 120-150 feet all the way down to 300 feet, where there are temperature breaks. On some days we have deployed the downriggers. Deep drops work fantastic for big tuna. Live baiting with skipjack tuna or flying fish has been producing the best results. The bite has been explosive, with some real hogs being caught.

Sailfish: While not as prolific as tuna, sailfish are still around. We’ve been trolling for them in the deeper blue waters. The key is to cover the ground and use a variety of lures. It’s always exciting when that white sail breaks the surface!
Marlin: Black and blue marlin are making appearances, but they’re more of a bonus than a target. We’ve had a few hooked up, but the bite hasn’t been consistent. Still, every time that line screams off the reel is a rush like no other.
Inshore and Bay Fishing for some of the best fishing we have to offer in the summertime.
Looking for the best rates in Mexico click here.
Snapper: The snapper fishing has been excellent in the bay. We’ve been targeting dogtooth snapper around the islands and rocky points. Live bait and artificial lures both work well. There are some real trophies hiding in those structures!
Roosterfish: The roosterfish action has been hot and heavy. These acrobatic fighters are a blast on light tackle. We’ve been finding them around the jetties, river mouths, and sandy beaches. Topwater lures and soft plastics have been producing consistent results.
Overall, August is an incredible month to be fishing in Puerto Vallarta. The variety of species, combined with the warm water and favorable conditions, make it a truly unforgettable experience. Whether you’re targeting big game offshore or enjoying the excitement of inshore fishing, there’s something for everyone.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report June 2024
Welcome to the June fishing report for Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. This is the game changer of all the fishing reports of the year, and you’ll soon see why. As the rainy season begins on June 15th and lasts until October 15th, some might think the rain slows our fishing. No. On the contrary, the evening rains have a profound effect on our fishing, bringing pelagic fish and bait into our bay. If you find bait movement, you will find fish. Heavy rains can cause a flooding effect in our rivers, emptying debris into the bay. Sailfish, mahi-mahi, and even marlin love to hunt along these “trash lines,” where dark blue water meets off-colored water. Slow-trolling live bait is one of the best methods in these conditions. When you see ten boats working fishing line, as I have described above you know the fishing is hot in this area.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report summer time
Puerto Vallarta June fishing report is much better than the May fishing report. We have started off excellent this month. Dorado, Marlin, and sailfish have realized the bait is here inside the bay and offshore in abundance. Last month was not good as we were restricted from the Coronavirus. Most of the restrictions have been replaced with guidelines. All of our boats are conforming with the Mexican regulations and American required regulations for taking customers out deep-sea fishing. Safety first and then a fun time fishing.
