Top Places to Fish in Puerto Vallarta
The bay has to be one of the number one places to fish here in Puerto Vallarta. The first point is most bay trips can be done is 4 hrs. This is a big draw as it’s close to shore and very inexpensive. There are a large number of boats that we use on our bay fishing trips. The 28 ft super panga is perfect for this kind of fishing. With a four-person max and so many different types of species to fish for you have the time of your like on this half-day fishing trip in Puerto Vallarta.
El Morro has so many fishing options, it’s hard to name them all here. This 8 hrs. Deep-sea fishing adventure is for those of us who have enough being on the open water while having a chance to land marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, and tuna. This is a short run from the marina and you can catch just about any species of pelagic you can imagine.
The Cortbetena has a wealth of trophy fish out there waiting almost all year round. This is the go-to fishing ground when you are looking for larger fish or that bucket list fish. For most anglers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime fishing opportunity. The tuna are thick here on this offshore fishing trip. Some days marlin, sailfish, and mahi-mahi hit the bait all day long. The Cortbetena is a 10 to 14 hr. Trip of a lifetime. Please plan in advance as space on these trips is limited. 
Banco fishing has to be one of the best angling experiences in the world. This is the hot spot where most of the trophy fish come from. It’s a rare day when you don’t catch the fish of your dreams at this fishing location. This 12 to 14 hr. trip is the best of the best most days. The last two fishing adventures can’t be beaten for catching the fish you always wanted. This is the bucket list fish-catching place. If I could I would fish here every day. Be sure and check boat availability before coming down as this is the most sought-after trip we offer here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

We are here to help you and your family picks the perfect fishing trip whether it’s offshore or inshore. We go the extra mile to ensure you have the trip of a lifetime.

Puerto Vallarta fishing offers incredible fishing all year long. We are now fishing in the month of April which is considered one of our very best months for fishing all types of species. If you are looking for pelagic fish this is the best month to fish Puerto Vallarta.
You’re looking for Marlin ,sailfish,mahi- mahi,and tuna you picked the right time to come down to Puerto Vallarta. For the last couple of weeks, we’ve had several deep-sea fishing tournaments here in Puerto Vallarta. One of the largest tournaments held here is the last Los Muertos tournament, in which we took second place out of 110 boats for the sailfish division.
The sailfish action has been good inshore and offshore. If you didn’t know the sailfish is one of the fastest fish in the ocean and is one of the most sought-after fish that we catch here in Puerto Vallarta. A sailfish can reach speeds of 75 miles per hour. The Fabulous eating mahi-mahi, also known as Dorado has been abundant offshore and inshore. The larger mahi mahi coming from offshore fishing where the rod bending action has been off the charts.
The Marlin and tuna action, incredible and Puerto Vallarta fishing. The best action for the Marlin has been at the Corbetena and the El Banco. When fishing for marlin it’s not uncommon for us to see boiling schools of tuna. The water temperatures are staying around 76 to 78 degrees. One of the factors for a lot of people overlook is the water Clarity and the water temperature. For most of the novices, they don’t realize tuna, sailfish and Marlin have water temperatures that they like to swim in just as when we take a shower or a bath. So if you’re going offshore and spending big money, be sure you’re out with a good company that knows the water temperatures and where the blue water is before they leave the dock. I use fish tracks for water temps.
The Puerto Vallarta fishing in April for inshore and offshore has just been fantastic, to say the least. So if you’re coming down in November or December just shoot us a quick email or call us on our toll-free number for our day-to-day fishing conditions. We are one of the only companies in Puerto Vallarta that offer an up-to-date fishing report. I can also tell you the best day to fish by looking at the tide schedule. Why would you want to take a look at a fishing report from last week or last month when you can get up-to-the-minute conditions by just calling us toll-free? 800 430 6048

Puerto Vallarta fishing
Puerto Vallarta Fishing had some amazing fishing for September. October is getting off to even better start for fishing in Puerto Vallarta. Last September we were catching all kinds of pelagic fish inside the bay and offshore. There was a really good mix of all kinds of fish. Most of the fish we’re biting live bait and high-speed lure and skip bait trolled fast. Live bait action was really good inshore and offshore. We still had a few light rains which really turned the fishing on. The last couple of rains served to give us some really good fishing lines to work out there where the water was a definite color change in temperature break this produced a lot of fish like sailfish, marlin and dorados.
The offshore fishing was fantastic out by the El Morrow catching a lot of Dorado, sailfish and some Marlin. Another hot spot Corbetena which in October always produces a lot of marlin , sailfish and mahi mahi. We work some of the thermic lines and this seemed produced fish every day. If you’re fishing offshore in October here in Puerto Vallarta fishing it’s a great time to be here with lots of fish.
The hottest fishing inshore was catching some of the roosterfish and yellowtail. Mixed in with these guys were some nice snapper caught on Rapala lures. The hottest bite for Puerto Vallarta fishing offshore what is the fast toll-skipping baits for Marlin, Sailfish in Dorado. If you’re fishing in Puerto Vallarta for October be ready for lots of action and be sure and bring plenty of live bait.
So if it’s going to be inshore fishing you’ll be having some fun and of course October here in Puerto Vallarta fishing always has great action offshore. Looking forward to seeing everyone out there.

Summer time fishing Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta fishing is really heating up just like the weather. This summer we’ve been having some really great fishing inside the bay on our 28 foot super pangas and our medium sized Sportfishing boats. Over on the south side of the Bay some of the roosterfish are showing up and pretty good numbers. As you can tell from the photos some of them have been quite large. There’s also been some of the average size Dorado showing up here inside the bay on our short day fishing trips. This is perfect for summertime vacation as we have a lot of families coming down to fish. There’s been really good action in the middle of the bay as well along with the north side catching all kinds of good eating game fish and the occasional sailfish. If you’re looking for family fun or a fun day fishing right here in the bay we’ve got you covered on one of our 28 foot super pangas all the way up to our big 40 foot sport 
fisher that can handle up large groups
The offshore fishing that’s really kicked into high gear starting to see some of the bigger Dorado showing up just offshore. These trips are best done on one of our larger boat and require an 8 hour trip. We’re starting to see a few less striped Marlin but some of the bigger Blue Marlin and black marlin or showing up offshore. These trips are best done offshore working some of the thermic lines with the water temperature being around 80 degrees. If we can get that dark blue water around 80 deg. and find the Tunas and dolphin working it’s holy moly time as the fishing will be incredible offshore here in Puerto Vallarta fishing. We like to get out there early and do some high-speed lures. And then when the tide starts the change switches over to our large live baits slow trolling for the summertime fishing right here in beautiful Puerto Vallarta. When we get these perfect conditions it’s almost guaranteed Big Tuna and big marlin on every trip. We also see the large mahi-mahi providing some Rod bending action offshore and I mean some of the big ones.
So if you’re looking for some fast action, Rod bending exhilarating fishing here and Puerto Vallarta fishing summertime is when you want to be here. Great weather 80-degree water, lots of sunshine and incredible fishing. What’s not to like about this.

Looking for a Puerto Vallarta fishing charter
Puerto Vallarta fishing is one of the most exciting watersports that we offer here in Mexico. If you’re coming to Puerto Vallarta to fish your first need to decide on which boat you should take. The answer to this question is going to be the size of the boat and the number of people that you have in your group. If you have two to four people one of our 28 foot super panga would be perfect. These are great for Bay fishing. We also offer 32-foot Sports Fishers that are up to four people and are great for Bay fishing or even going offshore. We have 40-foot sports Fishers that are great for Bay fishing for the larger groups or for folks that want to go offshore for big game hunting. These boats are perfect for 8 people. So I, as you can see what you need to decide on first before looking for Puerto Vallarta fishing, is the size of the boat that you need to rent.

Puerto Vallarta fishing
After you know which one of our boats you’d like to Charter here in Puerto Vallarta fishing we need to decide what would like to fish for. I get this question all the time. What are we going to catch and where are we going to fish. ? This all depends on what time of the year that you come down for your vacation here in Mexico. Most of our clients like to come down in the winter months of November, December, January, February, and March which can offer some really exciting fishing. During the winter months, we have some great fishing for sailfish, mahi-mahi Marlin and much other game fish that we fish for here in Puerto Vallarta fishing. Most of these trips are for 8 hours as the pelagic fish will be roaming offshore and we need eight hours to get out where they’re feeding. The bay here in Puerto Vallarta is one of the largest in the world. The fall fishing is also really ridiculously good here offshore. There are some days even the tuna are right here inside the bay. These kinds of days make for incredible during these months. We have the yellowtail, mahi-mahi, Spanish mackerel that are feeding, roosterfish and even some of the Snapper.
Puerto Vallarta fishing ,summer months are also really great for fishing inside the bay. I have a lot of the same action as the fall fishing ,but usually a lot more fish.
