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.

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 July
Puerto Vallarta fishing report for July. Most of the Anglers coming down to fish in Puerto Vallarta know July is one of the best months to fish for the big game. We have huge Marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, and the most sought-after yellowfin tuna just to mention a few. If you’re looking for a big game action July is the month you want to be here. There is also some fantastic inshore fishing here in our bay.
The Puerto Vallarta rainy season has already started with light rains in the evenings almost every day. Occasionally we’ll have light rains in the morning, but usually, they clear up around 7 or 8 in the morning. Then we have beautiful skies for fishing either inshore or offshore. These rains that we have in the evenings have a couple of effects that really heat up the fishing here in Puerto Vallarta for the month of July. First and foremost, it brings in all kinds of bait closer which in turn brings in some of the bigger fish following the mullet, sardines, and skipjack tunas. This is great because we’ll be doing a lot of four and six-hour trips over the holidays like July 4th. It’s always a big celebration here in beautiful Puerto Vallarta for July 4th even though it’s traditionally not celebrated in Mexico. What we would like you to celebrate is the Fantastic fishing that we have during our summer months and July is one of the best months to fish here. When you’re coming down for summertime conditions you’ll just have to decide if you want to have some of the incredible Bay fishing or try your hand at going offshore for some of the really big fish that we catch here for the month of July. See our special rates for the month of July. There are several different ways that we fish for the big marlin, tuna, and mahi-mahi. We use pitch baits, kites, lures, and skip baits to bring these fish up in our spreads. We’ll be using some of our favorite places that we see year in and year out that produce these huge pelagic fish. El Morro is the closest of the places we like to fish it can be done in about 8 hours. One of the world’s most famous places the Corbetena and it produces some of the biggest fish of the year here. El Banco is another favorite where we catch some of the winning fish for the tournaments. Happens year after year. The huge pelagic fish live and feed there. The deep-sea fishing trip is 50 miles out and we need a 12 to 14-hour trip to get there and fish. This underground knoll is famous as it located in thousands of feet of water, then comes up to a low point of 50 ft. Fishing here is almost for sure you were going to come home with a trophy fish. The fishing spot just happens to be one of our favorite places the fish with 5 to 10 lbs. baits for these huge Marlin. Not uncommon to catch the huge Yellowfin their schooling as well. So this July if you’re looking for a fun time and a great place to fish for the day we got you covered inshore of offshore fishing.
This is Captain Peter Vines and we’re looking forward to seeing you out there on the water for some amazing fishing days here in the month of July.
If anybody there have any questions about the fishing reports, comments, or just want to find out what we’re catching each day give us a call or our toll-free number ( 800 430 6048 ).
We fish every day and that gives us a huge advantage over some of the other charter companies here. We know where the fish are biting and what it’s going to take to catch them.
