Puerto Vallarta Fishing Report

Puerto Vallarta fishing report January

Now that Christmas is behind us here in Puerto Vallarta fishing we can look forward to the January fishing report. The last couple of weeks in December I’ve been showing us some incredible inshore fishing. If you’re looking to come down to beautiful Puerto Vallarta with some great inshore fishing. Beautiful beaches,5 star hotels,night life, then the month of January will have all you want.

The offshore action changes in January. Seems like when one pelagic species to leave the area another one shows up. Such is the case with the offshore fishing in Puerto Vallarta. Most anglers do not know marlin love warm water. The water temperature here never gets cold but will drop down enough to move the  black marlin to other areas.  When the water cools down  to around 72 degrees in January the black marlin move to warmer waters.  This cooling of the water brings all kinds of new bait into the bay of Puerto Vallarta and the striped marlin love this cool water.  These fast eating marlin troll the waters of our bay looking for all kinds of new bait that arrive with the cool waters moving in.  There will be dorados to be caught here in the winter fishing.  We don’t see the big schools, but they are found offshore around structures.   With warm water and cool waters the fishing in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is hard to beat.

Some of the best all around fishing in Puerto Vallarta is right here in our huge bay.  The bay here is one of the largest in North America and it just teeming with fish.  The yellowtail will be here in full force.  These pelagic fish when schooling will hit just about any bait from ralpalas to pitch baits.  The later being one of the best. Most days you will find these huge fish close to shore feeding on the millions of sardines we have here every winter.  If you find the bait fish the yellowtail will be in the area.  A couple of more incredible fish we find in January are California Bonita and Spanish mackerel.  These delicious fish can be caught at will here in our bay. Seems like the action is nonstop.  The best method for catching a boatload to eat is the slow troll with ralpalas along with Clark spoons.  The standard squid skirts work as well.  The larges on will hit the rigged mullet we troll for sailfish as well.  The best water to fish for these fantastic fish is in the bay with ralpalas rigged on the short lines with some black bart medium size lure for mahi-mahi and on the long lines some mullet with skirts for sailfish and marlin.  After fishing here for more than 36 years this the best hook up tolling technique for offshore and inshore fishing here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

Contact Capt. Pete for more info on availbity info,prices and latest fishing report.

The New Year here was a blast.  We started off with lots of fireworks and hot fishing.  If you are looking for a fantastic place to fish and have a fun time then come down to beautiful Puerto Vallarta, where the friendliest people in the world live and work.  Some of us are fortunate to be able to fish here every day.  Let us be part of your Mexcio vacation.  Please call 800 4306048 or shoot us an email vallartafishing@hotmail.com with any questions about fishing or Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report November

From the El Faro, all the way to Punta Mita the anglers coming down to fish in Puerto Vallarta have one thing on their mind. Sailfish and Marlin. The sailfish is sought after for so many reasons, one being the fastest fish in the oceans. Two it’s of the most beautiful fish you’ll ever see and three of the spectacular jumps along with the fight of your life before coming to the boat. If you’re looking for sailfish action November right here in Puerto Vallarta is where you should be.
We have several different options for catching these beautiful fish. One of our most popular trips is the 28-foot twin motor Super panga. This is a fast boat and can’t get you out there where the action is with a limited amount of people. ( 4 anglers max )  We also have several offshore boats Liker 32-foot mid-size range boat great for medium size groups. The most requested boat that we have are the 40 Footers for offshore can take on any kind of weather and are very comfortable to fish in the offshore conditions. To be able to catch one of these great sailfish or Marlin we basically just need to know when you’ll be coming and how many people will be in your group.  With this fishing information, we can figure out which boat is a perfect fit for you.

When fishing for sailfish and Marlin there are several primary things you should check. The water clarity is one of the most important factors. These pelagic fish love the Deep cobalt blue water in 74-degree weather and above. An overlooked factor is the bait movement for the sought after Marlin. When you find the bait you will find the fish. Water Clarity and temperatures are some of the most important factors but the bait is the most very important factor of all.  These giant fish have to eat just like you and I do.

When chartering a deep-sea fishing boat you need to be aware of the tides and the best time for the feeding fish.  When you can find the time the fish are feeding and you’re on the right spot then you have a winning combination. Usually, the fish are going to feed in between the slack tides. That’s the high and low tides and then again in the afternoon when you have your boat on the high tide. These are always changing along with the moon phase. This is one of the more important factors to be sure and ask your captain before you book about the tides and moon phase.

When you’re out there on the deep sea fishing charters asked the captain or the first mate how you can get involved. Let them explain to you how to watch for the sailfish and Marlin. Be part of the fishing team.  A lot of times you’ll see the Marlin and sailfish come right into our spread on the teasers. Keeping a sharp Lookout with a good pair of polarized glasses can you increase your chances of hooking up that trophy fish what you’re looking for. There’s also room on the flybridge for people to help watch sailfish sometimes can be seen jumping. Other times you can see him finning. There is a large difference in the way a dolphin and a sailfish or Marlin swim. Be sure and ask the captain or the mate and have them explain that to you so you automatically become part of the crew.

Remember catching the fish it’s just one phase of having a great fishing trip. There are so other things to learn, how to rig baits, tie the lines, and more importantly find a fish and hooking them up. We sure hope to see you out here in November and through the winter months when the sailfish and Marlin or thick here in beautiful Puerto Vallarta Mexico where the friendliest people in the world live.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report October

Puerto Vallarta fishing is a bay with covering thousands of meters of coastline and rivers. It’s a perfect big game fishing destination and a very popular vacation destination in Mexico. The underwater topography in the bay creates currents from the seven large rivers that continually push outwards cool water loaded with nutrients. Lots of tiny fish subsequently attract larger species, which in turn attract even larger ones that include the popular sailfish, mahi-mahi, roosterfish, snapper, and blue marlin. Here in this Puerto Vallarta fishing report, you will find the popular spots for deep-sea fishing and bay fishing we offer year-round.  The bay fishing and offshore fishing are fantastic all year round.  Let’s explore some of the best fishing spots in Puerto Vallarta and the fishing report for October along with surrounding areas for the bay angler and offshore fishermen alike.

Puerto Vallarta bay fishing
The beautiful bay of Puerto Vallarta is one of the largest in the world. It’s like having the best of both worlds.  Bay fishing and offshore fishing in the same place with such a large bay. There are numerous fish to be caught in our fabulous bay. , snapper The sailfish roam the bay in the summer along with mahi-mahi, yellowtail, skipjack tuna, snapper, and even a few marlins.

We are also noted to have incredible snorkeling in several places in the bay.  Some are just a few mins. from the hotel.  Los Arcos is one of the best. Thousands of fish to see and dolphins as well. In the winter the humpback whales take over the bay. They will be just as many fishing trips as there will be whale watching trips here this winter.

Deep-sea fishing in Puerto Vallarta

The deep-sea fishing we do here in Mexico is very different from many places in the world. We are famous for 5 of the top 10 places to fish in the world. El Banco, El Morro, the islands here off the coast of Punta Mita, and the islands called the Marias.  These deep-sea fishing adventures we offer bring in more trophy fish than and other fishing resort in Mexico.  The marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, and tuna are thick during the Fall months. These trilling fishing trips are usually more than 8 hrs. and can be done by anyone from just about any age.  We take out more novice fishermen than pros so it always a fun experience.  The summertime here is when we catch the really large marlin and huge sailfish.  If you are coming in the winter or summer expect good fishing offshore here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

Deep-Sea Fishing Seasons Calendar
Generally, some of the best times to go game fishing is in the summer, which on the island starts from July to October. However, the best duration to catch the celebrated Marlin, sailfish, Mahi-mahi, and tuna is from October to March. We use a heavy tackle; like gold Penn or avet 2-speed fishing gear.  These are rigger with 300 yards of top shot and 500 yards of spectra below the top shot.  You never know when one of these monster marlins is going to show up and eat a big lure or live bait. The large game fish can weigh up to hundreds of pounds.

• October to April: Dorado
  • October to March: Yellowfin Tuna
  • Summertime: Black Marlin
  • Summertime offshore: Hammerhead Shark
  • October to March: mahi-mahi and Sailfish
  • March to April and July to November: Skipjack Tuna

  wintertime we see the good eating wahoo and is one of the fastest fish out there

Skipjack for bay fishing
Skipjack tuna is a pelagic fish that swims in large schools, mostly in offshore waters. It lives above the thermocline in warm waters. You will easily find them close to floating objects. These fish can be caught just about any time of the year and so fun to catch. These fish roam from inshore to offshore. Just about anywhere you find a good thermocline in warm water.

The fall season is almost here and we are looking to getting back out on the waters after the Cov -19 slowed us down a bit this summer. Mexico in general is taking extreme cautions at all the large resorts areas here in Puerto Vallarta and all or our Marinas. We of course are doing our share to take the very care of our clients and all of our staff.  If you love to fish like I do the fall fishing can’t be beaten here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

If you have any questions about the fishing conditions, boats, rates, Cov -19, regulations, or anything else just shot me an email or use our toll-free number. I’m an American and can quickly answer any questions you might have before booking or coming to Puerto Vallarta.

Hope to see you out the having fun this season

Puerto Vallarta has always been known as where are the friendliest people in the world live. What many people forget it’s also one of the best places to fish in Mexico. For the last several hundred years Puerto Vallarta has been bringing in all kinds of different pelagic fish. Here’s our July report on what’s coming up and beautiful Puerto Vallarta.  Whether you’re a first-time fisherman are a longtime resident everyone knows Puerto Vallarta has hot fishing for July. In the summertime, we have our light rains in the evening which increase the fishing tenfold. The light rains actually increase the fishing odds in Puerto Vallarta. What do these rains do is bring in warmer waters, fishing current, and tons of bait.

For the folks that read my reports each month you know, there are several variables to catching this year in Puerto Vallarta. Water clarity, temperature, tides, and last but not least bait movement. Here in the bay, we have lots of bait during July. When you find the bait that’s where the fish are going to be. Remember the fish can’t read these reports they don’t know about the tides and the temperatures. All the fish know is how to eat bait. So we find the bait movement we’re going to be on the fish. It’s simple to fish fish if you know where the bait is going to be here in the bay and offshore.

See what’s happening in the Nuevo Vallarta fishing

If you’re looking for inshore or offshore action we’ve got you covered here for the month of July. There will be marlin, the hard-hitting yellow tails, all the way up to the huge marlin offshore. Will have an abundance of bay fish like  California Bonita, Spanish mackerel, medium tunas, and the good eating mahi-mahi. 

The offshore action is where the bigger Marlin, Mahi Mahi, and sailfish run and feed.  The water temperature is 80 degrees on a lot of days offshore.  Our boats don’t have to make the long run. The reason being is the bait is moving closer to the bay. Who doesn’t want more fishing time and closer action?  This adds up to more, fish shorter run time and usually larger fish for July fishing in Puerto Vallarta.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report for March in Mexico. The month of March fishing here in the Bay of Banderas also known as the Bay of flags.  Which happens to be situated one of the largest bays in the world and produces some of the best fishing we have all year long.  The anglers fishing here experiences different kinds of exciting fishing conditions both inshore and offshore.  The month of March is one of the best here in Mexico for fishing. Fishing in of the largest bays in the world we experience many different fishing conditions and with several spices of fish all year round with March producing more pelagic fish than other months.

With our Puerto Vallarta bay being one of the largest in Mexico our conditions change from day to day moving in and out and east to west. This bay is so big it’s like having our own ecosystem of fishing.

This creates so many great fishing opportunities for several of the most popular fish every angler wants to catch wither it be offshore or inshore. The main question that you will encounter in March is to fish offshore for the Marlin sailfish, tuna, and mahi-mahi or hang close to the bay and catch some of the many small to medium game species Puerto Vallarta has to offer. The will be yellowtail, skipjack tuna, mahi-mahi, and roosterfish for those choosing the inshore option.

In the month of March, I always try to guide my clients to choose an 8-hour trip. When fishing for 8 hours here and Puerto Vallarta even though we are on one of the largest bays in the world we have the opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds. This means for the average angler you’ll have an opportunity to fish offshore for the big sailfish, marlin, mahi-mahi and tuna. If the action slows for offshore fishing we always have a fall back plan to come back to the bay fishing witch in the month of March hardly ever seems to fail us. It’s almost like having two different fishing trips for the price of one.  Please see here the most competitive rates in Puerto Vallarta fishing.

The month of March is where we see all kinds of bait showing up from sardines to the fast eating skipjack tuna. We’ve already seen some of these conditions where you see the bait boiling on the water. Even the less experienced fisherman knows when you see fish boiling on the water there has to be some big fish pushing them up with towards the surface for easy picking for our fishing clients.

For the month of March here in Puerto Vallarta your choices will be inshore fishing for our small game species like tuna, mahi-mahi, yellowtail and other small game or going offshore for the bigger sailfish, Marlin, and tuna. Either way you’re going to have a great time and fantistic fishing right here in Puerto Vallarta for the month of March.

Hope to see everyone here out on the water as they’ll still be some whales left in the month of March to see him along with the dolphin ,sea turtles and the huge Manta Rays playing right here in our beautiful Bay.

check us out on TripAdvisor and see why we are number 1 

Puerto Vallarta fishing starting off with a bang here in Mexico for January 2020. We all had a incredible Christmas and fantastic New Year. The fishing in January is starting off right where we left off in December. The bay of Puerto Vallarta is  still having some warm waters and this means great fishing here in beautiful Puerto Vallarta for all kinds of pelagic fish.

We’ve got some of the striped Marlin showing up and really good numbers. The mahi-mahi have been here for the last couple of months and have decided to stay as the water is still relatively warm for the winter months. The water is still warm enough to catch some blues and black marlin just have to get out there and look for the thermoclines. The thermoclines  is where they are feeding.  We  have the satellite service we use tariffin which works great. This gives us the ability to know exactly where to go before the leaving the dock  and find the hot spots for fishing for our clients.

If you’re looking for tuna and you’re going to need to run out towards the Corbetena and El  Banco. In the water it’s still warm enough to catch the yellowfin tuna here all along with other pelagic fish that they deep sea fishing trips like to catch offshore fishing. So if you’re looking for the big tunas be sure and check water temperatures before leaving the dock as this will save you a lot of time checking temperatures offshore.

For those of you coming down this winter here in January the Bay fishing is just as good as it gets. The yellowtail are still producing a lot of fun and fast action for all the folks fishing here. We’re getting some of those skipjack tuna sometimes boiling on top of the water this is great for the fly fisherman that we’ve been taking out. The  folks that like to catch the hot action in the bay January is a good month for all fish. If you’re looking for fast fishing action we’ve got you covered here in the bay and beautiful Puerto Vallarta where are the friendliest people in the world live.

One of the great things that Puerto Vallarta has here in the winter or the arrival of the humpback whales. These majestic creatures come down every year late November all the way up to the end of March. They come here to out bay to  have their calves and then the other ones are to make more baby whales. For those of you that don’t know much about the humpback whales there around 20 tons. The whales are the same ones that came here last year will come again the following years have their calves. The baby whales when they’re born about 3 tons x 12 ft. long very beautiful to see playing here in the bay. So if you’re coming out on one of our offshore fishing trips or just staying here in the bay you’ll still have a chance to see these fantastic humpback whales at play.

The black and blue Marlin we have been getting are ranging  anywhere from just offshore all the way out to the El Banco. The water temperature is holding 80 degrees out there and this is bringing the blue and black marlin in a little closer. They movement is been pretty consistent. We are starting to see some good numbers of Marlin coming in and reported catches/releases. And lots of marlin strikes out there as well.

The sailfish are in the area.  There have been good numbers reported for the offshore fishing.  The best bite for sailfish has been offshore around 5 to 10 miles.  The inshore has been hit and miss with some catches close to shore. These numbers of sailfish will increase as summer continues.

Striped Marlin that’s been a good bite with inshore fishing. There’s also been some striped marlin offshore just out past the islands on our 8 hr. trips. Most of these have been catching release. You can catch some marlin now inside the bay along with fishing offshore. All of these fish are averaging around 75 up to 225 lb.

The mahi-mahi also known as Dorado for most fishermen here in Puerto Vallarta is slow but getting better. We’re catching one or two nice fish on each trip which is good for making cerchive or take back to the hotel for the guests to have cooked up. The offshore Dorado action is where  we are seeing some of the bigger fish. These fish range from 10 to 50 lbs.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report July. The fishing here in Puerto Vallarta has continued to get better as we have the 4th of July right around the corner. July is always a good time to be here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico as the water has already warmed up close to 80° and some of our hot spots. Later on at the bottom of this report I’m going to include the top 5 fishing places for fishing here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. The summertime weather has already started here in Puerto Vallarta and we’ve already seen some of the nice rains that we have late in the evening which does not affect our fishing.  The rains bring the fish in closerfor fishing here in Puerto Vallarta.   During the day it’s been nice and sunny on all of the trips and the light gentle rains that we have been having actually increases are fishing odds. The daytime weather is around 80 degrees and always a bit cooler out on the water fishing.

The water temperatures are coming up and down and we’re seeing mid-70s all the way up to 80s which is really good for blue marlin and black marlin. When fishing with us you can always be sure we’ll put you in the right water temperature for the right different species. As most people do not realize  the right water temps 4 Marlin vs. Sailfish vs. Mahi mahi.  These water tempertures, water clarity and of course bait movement keeps us on the fish.

The striped Marlin action is still holding good inside the bay but has have been better offshore. As I stated above when the water temperature gets up to 78 to 80° ideal conditions for the big blues and the black marlin. I’ll be putting in the report hard top places that we love to fish for these big pelagic fish here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. The Dorado action starting to pick up seeing some of the smaller ones inside the bay along with various other palgic species for good eating fish.

The bigger Tunas have been offshore on the 10 and 12 hour trips we’re starting to see some of the bigger ones you show up. Best way to catch these big yellowfin tuna is a slow troll with  live baits or kite fishing when the wind permits.

So there you have it for the beginning of July the fishing is good inshore and offshore. Lots of events happening is that I said the Fourth of July fishing near Puerto Vallarta will be incredible in a few days.

Puerto Vallarta fishing June report

Puerto Vallarta fishing June report. June is just right around the corner and so is the fantistic fishing. The gentle warm water have moved in to Puerto Vallarta and all kinds of fish. As I said last month this brings in all kinds of great pelagic fish will happen in June. Puerto Vallarta fishing in June is one of the best months to be here fishing or just enjoying the beauty of the sea side town Of Puerto Vallarta Mexcio.

For the folks that decide to come down all the time in June and  enjoy the fishing it is because of the great fishing they already know that we have. A big news about the start of June fishing.  This is the beginning of our late evening light rains. Happens almost every evening.  These light rains bring the fish in closer inside the bay so our fishing time is cut in half on most days.  Some folks that have never fished here do not know about the seven Rivers feeding into the bay of Puerto Vallarta. This and the late evening rains really heat up the fishing here in June.

These light rains cause a phenomenon that we call a trash line. That’s where you’re going to see wood ,chairs and  all kinds of articles floating in the bay that have been pushed out with the forceful rains. This is one of the greatest places to catch the mahi-mahi also known as Dorado along this particular line. You can also see this line when you have two different currents or two different temperatures coming together.  This happens all up and down the Mexican coast.  It will look like super blue water on one side and then a different color on their own on the other side. You fish on that blue side trolling some live bait and it’s a no-brainer. Instant fish catcher.  We have limited out many day fishing this way.

Sometimes these particular fish lines can you go up to  50 miles long.  This makes a huge area for fishing.  We just don’t have time enough in one day to fish the entire area. We usually mark these and then check our wind currents and the tides and we can rfish them the next day we are out with clients.  Sometimes they begin inside the bay and go away offshore for miles  into the deep water and you run into the big marlin, big tunas and the bigger dorados.

In June this is the time of the year that we can start to see  schools of yellowfun tuna showing up. That would be inside the bay and offshore. Nobody never knows when and where these large schools of yellowfin tuna are going to pop up and you’re going to have the time of your life bending every fishing rod on the boat.

June is also when we start seeing lots of the dorados and rooster fish. Great way to catch these fish is pulling  a couple of teasers along would live bait behind the boat that works very well. So if  you’re coming down this June here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico fishing and looking for the bay fishing or offshore going for the Big Tuna and Marlin. June fishing report in Puerto Vallarta has got you covered with all kinds of fishing trip along with the best prices. call for the latest report of June fishing in Puerto Vallarta.

Come on down and see what we have to offer in the way of prices votes. People have never been on one of our fishing charters don’t know that money can buy happiness.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report May

Puerto Vallarta fishing in May signals a shift in the bait movement, Pacific Ocean waters and the deep sea fishing. The beginning of May the fishing changes as the Mexican waters start warming up and the bait starts moving in. When the water start warming up around 77 to 80 deg.  we start seeing more bait moving into the bay and just offshore. Here in Puerto Vallarta fishing when we start seeing bait balls and schools of bait on the surface with these warm waters this is made is good fishing.

The Puerto Vallarta fishing in May with these warm Waters and all the bait showing up they start to see the tuna and mahi – mahi action get hot. Tuna action can show up anywhere inside the bay or outside the bay area. It is not uncommon to see large schools of tuna breaking the water. We also get some of the larger Tunas offshore were the really deep water is. A couple of really good spots that we like to fish. Some of the best ways to catch these trolling, kite fishing and of course they all fall back is live baiting .

When we see the water warm up offshore this is great time for the Marlin and sailfish . The warm waters of Puerto Vallarta bait bring in the Big Blue Marlin and the big black marlin along with some of the striped Marlin as well. This  time of the year every spring we love to fish with live bait for the huge tunas and marlin . When fishing with huge baits something like a big marlin  is going to strike. Come out and try some deep sea  fishing with us.  

With all kinds of bait in the water we see a lot of mahi-mahi hanging around usually up on the North side of the Bay like Punta Mita. Mahi-mahi love the live bait, pitch baits and of course the special  lures we troll as well. Most days we find a structure offshore that could hold 20 to 30 mahi-mahi there for the taking lots of pitch baits is what we use. As you can see the tuna , Marlin the mahi-mahi fishing is heating up for the month of May here in Puerto Vallarta fishing charters.

Come over and enjoy some of this great action. The people that don’t think money can buy happiness and never been on one of our deep sea fishing charters here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report March

The fishing in Puerto Vallarta is heating up just like the water. This last month the water temperature moved up a few degrees. This will bring in the bait fish like sardines and other baits we love to see this time of the year. We’ve been having some great days fishing here inside the bay. The month of March is a great month to be here as we have the trade winds that are great to fish on. These breezes bring in the bait fish and cool winds we love to see this time of the year. These are nice breezes that come up every afternoon. We’ve already been seen big schools of bait fishing inside the bay which is attracting a lot of pelagic fish to come in the bay for our fishing charters here in Puerto Vallarta. On some days we are seeing schools of the Yellowtail up to a hundred in a school. This means a lot live bait action for pitch baits which is one of our favorite ways to fish here inside the bay. Another great way to catch these fantistic fish is using some of the poppers or plugs.   This means casting quite a bit with great action and fast action. There’s been a few more roosterfish showing up over on the south side of the bay along the Mismaloya area and Quimixto area. Overall south side Of the bay is seeing some great action and improving overall for fishing.
The north side of the bay is still holding strong  with yellowtail action, Spanish mackerel and some mahi-mahi. There’s even been a few sailfish caught over on the north side of the Bay. From La Cruz Haunacaxtle all the way out to Punta Mita. The fishing is improving and the water temperature has moved up a couple of degrees since last February’s fishing report. This is really good news as the warm water starts to move in all kinds of bait and the fish are coming in after the baits.
The offshore action here in Puerto Vallarta still seeing some tunas at the Corbetena 30 to 40 lbs. along with some of the large pargo also known as huge red snapper. Most of the folks know these as the big red snapper which are really great to eat and incredible fun to catch. Mixed in with these fish at the Corbetena island we have been seeing some sailfish and striped marlin. Now that the sardines are schooling we should start to see more schools of striped marlin in our area.
The Morro Puerto Vallarta fishing has been great on some days. At times when we’re not catching the fish at the Morro we like to use the reef just behind it which is still holding all kinds of great fish.  The reef has some great bottom fishing there with lots of schools of the yellowtail and often mahi-mahi action as well. The snapper fishing is usually good at this reef. We like to use this as our fall back fishing spot when we want to catch a lot of fish for our clients.
Good action from Punta Mita towards Sayulita still having fantistic fishing action. We’re seeing some sailfish and a few striped Marlin in that area. The March winds are bringing in more bait for us along with some warm water which is going to increase the fishing odds on the north side. Even further up north we’ve even seen some schools of red snapper along with the Yellowtail chasing the large schools of sardines in the area. These trips are around eight hours and you need to be sure and bring plenty of live bait. All the fishing action here in Puerto Vallarta has really heated up for the month of March fishing in Puerto Vallarta. The fishing boats here in Puerto Vallarta will be seeing more fish per fisherman and more bait here in beautiful Puerto Vallarta. This is a great time to be here as the whales are still here playing inside the bay and just slightly outside the bay. The Puerto Vallarta fishing is just incredible. So coming down on down with us and enjoy the great fishing conditions we have in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

Puerto Vallarta fishing charters report in February

Puerto Vallarta fishing charters in February. The deep sea fishing charters here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico for February have remained hot since last January fishing report. The good news is we’re spotting more sardines arriving around the bay which is drawing in some of the bigger fish like the striped Marlin and mahi -mahi  which showing up in good numbers. Mahi-mahi are still hanging around as the water temperature is still holding 79 and even up to 81° in some of the offshore fishing spots. The sailfish are still here inside and out around the bay.  A few trips that we’ve done here in Puerto Vallarta  Mexico we’ve produced some of the sailfish here inside the bay mixed in with a couple striped Marlins. The very best action has been offshore working some of the thermoclines GPS points that we’re seeing on the Terrafin satellite as this is puts us right on top of some really great Puerto Vallarta fishing action.

The fishing action around Puerto Vallarta bay has been incredible for the shorter trips. We are catching the yellowtail snapper ,Spanish mackerel and in good numbers, There has also been sailfish and a few striped Marlin mixed in. Seeing some of the roosterfish show up here in the bay which is good news for all.  As I stated before the bait fish sardines are moving up the coast and we’re seeing a lot of the birds working on top of the water which is pointing us directly to where the fish are hitting.
The Nuevo Vallarta fishing with  Capt. Pete is report is very similar to the Puerto Vallarta fishing report.  We’ve been using the  fishing area and over by La Cruz Huanacaxtle on the North Shore for some of our inshore fishing action for our to 4 to 6 hour trips. This is making some good fish and some really good numbers. As a side  note here on the inshore fishing the whale watching just been incredible and I’ll try to include a few of the great videos that we’ve been taking. It’s always nice to be out fishing and to take a short break to see these magnificent humpback whales that come here each year from Alaska.
The Punta Mita fishing report with Capt. Paco has been good  with the offshore action. There are several places that we’ve been fishing or the El Morro, Corbetena and of course our old standby favorite El Banco still seeing some of the big tuna is out there 50 to 80 lb. striped marlin good numbers and the sailfish up north towards Sayulita  way up north.  Best bet for offshore has been skipping baits and using some Pitch baits. One of out favorites is live baiting at some of the areas that I have listed above this almost ensures us for a good fishing.
To Sayulita fishing report with Capt. Pina is good As It Gets there’s been some  red Snapper showing up and some roosterfish, and great Spanish mackerel action. There has been also good striped Marlin and sailfish action. Just a little farther north from Sayulita fishing has been some incredible mahi-mahi action.
As all can see the February fishing here in Puerto Vallarta and some of the surrounding areas in in high gear. February is one of the best months to be here on a fishing boat, whale watching or just soaking up sun on the beach having a couple of cold beers. Come on down and enjoy some of this incredible fishing and fantistic fun.

fish with the pro and see the difference.
from Puerto Vallarta Mexico where the friendliest people in the world live.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report January  2019. Puerto Vallarta fishing Charters is American owned and operated and we’ve been here for over 33 years. Our charter  business is geared for families, groups and novice anglers.  We also take out a large portion of our serious  fishermen that come to fish our major tournaments and that are looking for big game fish. Our boats land more big game fish year in and year out than the other Puerto Vallarta charter boats combined.  Let me start with the incredible weather we are having now.

The Puerto Vallarta fishing weather.    

The fishing weather in Puerto Vallarta has been perfect early in the morning down to about 65 degrees  degrees and then warming up to a nice 80° in the afternoon. The water temperature has dropped one or two degrees and is now around 78 degrees. This is great on so  many different levels for sailfish, striped Marlin, and mahi-mahi love this temperature water. Most of the pelagic fish are just like you and I and they have a water temperature  that they like to swim and feed in. This is true all around the world for big game fishing not just Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

The Inshore fishing in Puerto Vallarta for  January 2019 remains hot. Yellowtail action is off the charts. The Spanish mackerel are still hitting strong over by the Westin Regina here in Puerto Vallarta. The mahi-mahi are still hitting really well with some inshore action in the Nuevo Vallarta close to the Hard Rock Hotel and only a few miles offshore. These trips are great for folks coming down that would like to do the four and six hour and inshore fishing trips.  Perfect for familes, couples and folks that like the shorter fishing trips.

The roosterfish are showing up over on the South Shore in a couple of places that we like to fish one is over by mismaloya and the other one is Quimixto both of these are on the South Shore and can be done in a 6-hour trip. The water Clarity on the inshore fishing has been nice blue water on most days  and 78 degrees is in norm right now.

The Puerto vallarta offshore fishing action heated up with some striped marlin showing up.  These billfish can tear the water up in a hurry.Not uncommon to see the big guys hanging around with the Pacific sailfish that most anglers love to catch.  We are starting to see some schools of these pelagic fish showing up offshore.  The dorado action is still holding strong offshore and inshore. The best being the offshore.  Some of the best methods  have been trolling, pitch baits and high-speed lures.  The water clarity offshore is dark blue in most spots and just off color where the cooler water meets the warm water but still holding fish.

If you’re looking for great action inshore or offshore January 2019 here in Puerto Vallarta is a great place to be. Come down and enjoy some of this great action we’re having here in Mexico. Remember we can take you out 2 to 200 Anglers a day. Fish with the pros and see the difference.

The mahi-mahi loves the live bait where they were thick and very hungry. We quickly switched over to some high-speed lures and we’re getting double Hook-Ups almost every time we passed close by to where the large tree was floating.

Puerto Vallarta August fishing report

Puerto Vallarta August fishing report is looking better each day.  This last month of  July fishing in Puerto Vallarta saw some of the best days of the year.  The August fishing report in Puerto  Vallarta will hold much of the same fishing.  The offshore action had its ups and downs but still produced much nice fish.  The best of the best came out in fishing Corbetena.  There were many big tuna and marlin feeding there.  The best Puerto Vallarta fishing technique was the slow troll with large bonitas.  These 5 to 10 lbs.

bait have caught more large tuna and marlin than any other method for the last 30 odd something years I have fished here.  There were also many fish caught last July trolling with mullet and black bart lure around the Corbetena and El Banco.  If you are coming to Puerto Vallarta looking for big fish August is one of the best months to catch tuna, marlin and sailfish.  Be sure and contact us before coming down so we can have time to look at the tides for the time you will be here and of course Terrafin satellite pictures we get daily.  

The July bay fishing was insane this month.  August will only be better as more bait is showing up inside the beautiful Puerto Vallarta bay and offshore I mentioned earlier in this Puerto Vallarta fishing report for August.

There were several days we ran out of bait when hooking up over twenty big fish for the day.  The yellowtail, roosterfish, mahi mahiandmany other pelagic fish are hanging around the bay as the water temperature is still above 80 degrees and will be all summer long.  The bait fish line sardines are plentiful  along with many other bait fish.  If this will not hold the fish I don’t know what will.  When you have good temperatures, many bait fish and good blue water hold on to your fishing hat.  The fish will be biting for the month of August here in Puerto Vallarta fishing charters.  So come down to enjoy these fantastic fishing conditions here in Mexico on one of our 28 foot  pangas, 30 foot super pangas, Medium size sport fishers or one of our larger boats for the comfort and enjoyment we offer on all of our deep sea fishing charters here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

Look forward to seeing everyone out there

Puerto Vallarta Fishing Report on where to fish .  Let’s take a look at where to fish when coming to Puerto Vallarta.  We have so many incredible deep sea fishing destinations it’s hard to start telling folks which one is best.  The very first business we should discuss is the amount of time we will have to look for the best fishing experience for you and your group.  Sometimes we have familes,folks that don’t want to spend all day on the boat and of course the hard core fisherman want the offshore action all day or more.

One of my favorites fishing spots is over by the south shore called Los Arcos.  There are always fish by this island and also offers some good snorkeling.  Most of the fish we catch here are yellowtail,spanish mackerel, bonitos and some mahi mahi.  When the summer time fishing starts we can even catch a sailfish over on the south side of the bay.  These short trips include Los Arcos, Los Animas, Quimixto and Yelapa.  These trips can be done in 4 to 6 hours depending on what kind of trip you want. We offer fishing and snorkeling combo trip that can’t be beat.

The north sided of the bay also offers some fantastic fishing along the shores of La Cruz Haucazalte, Bucerias, and all the way out to beautiful Punta Mita.The waters along these north shores are usually shallow water fishing like jigging, sight casting and of course trolling.  In the prime months the shores of Punta Mita are full of Spanish mackerel which just happen to be one of the best fish for making cerchive.  There are several fish that can be used snapper, Mahi mahi but the Spanish mackerel is my favorite and will be yours after trying our famous cerchive recipe. There are some shallow fishing places and also some deep fishing places that are surpuerb for snapper, bonitos and yellowtail for those looking for fish to eat at the hotel or take home with them.

For the offshore fishermen we have several options.  The first is El Morro which can be done in a short 8 hour trip.  We usually catch sailfish, marlin and dorados on these fishing trips in Puerto vallarta.  There are chances to sight cast, trolling and of course some of our famous bottom fishing honey holes.

When the fish are a little father offshore my backup plan is always the Corbetena also known as the Rock.  This is where you can find big marlin, big tuna, mahi mahi and all kinds of bottom fish.  We love to fish this area for the huge pargo that can reach 100 lbs.  These pelagic fish are super favorable for eating and a whole bunch of fun to catch.  A few of the fishing techniques we use are trolling,kite,bottom fishing and of course casting for these huge fish.

These Puerto Vallarta offshore fishing trips can be done in 10 hrs or more deepening on where the bite is and the time these fish are feeding. Be sure and check the tides or just call me Capt. Pete for the latest Puerto Vallarta fishing report.

In my opinionthe El Banco is one of the very best fishing places in the world when the conditions are right.  The tuna, huge black and blue marlin live there as there is always large amounts of bait fish there for the taking.  This magnificent fishing location goes from several thousand feet up to a low point which is 50 feet in depth depending on the tides.  There have been a large number of 1000 lbs. marlin taken from this fishing spot here in Puerto Vallarta.     

When you fish here be ready to spend the entire day as you will need at least 12 hrs. to get out there for these big fish.  When the conditions are right El Banco can’t be beat at this incredible location.

So what are you waiting for come down and enjoy one of our special fishing trip designed specially for you and families, friends or hardcore fishing buddies.

Puerto Vallarta fishing July

Puerto Vallarta fishing July has started off with a bang. The fishing is getting better and better each week. We have been catching all kinds of fish in the bay and offshore as well.   This July Bay fishing  we have had some really great days all kinds of fantastic fishing. Some of the best fish that we have been doing has been trolling, jigging and sight casting. In some of the better spots that we go to Offshore The water has heated up and are catching snapper like crazy. We have been using some live bait and some cut bait on some of these deep sea fishing charters in the bay with wild bottom fishing. 4th of July fishing with a lot of action here in Puerto Vallarta. The blue  Water here in  Puerto Vallarta is incredible along with the refreshing rains come in the late evening .  This refreshes the land / sea and cools it off in the evening. The fishing is better each day as the water cools off a bit in the evening. 

 The offshore fishing is fantastic catching Marlin, some  bigmahi mahi /  Dorados and sailfish .Thebest best method for fishing for these guys the last week or so pitch baits and of course submerged objects in the water like palm trees or wooden crates where the Dorados love to hang around . These are sure why we’ve been able to clean up on catching the Dorados with live bait and also using some Pitch lures. Likewise we have caught good numbers of fish on  live bait. The Marlin we’ve been catching have been caught on black Bart lures trolled fast and some skip baits.   I love mix these into the fishing  spread. That has been for baits along with for lures trolled about 7 knots that we are seeing on our Terrafin charts. The Terrafin is providing us where the blue water and of course we’re some temperature

breaks are happening. If you want to the fish great action here in Puerto Vallarta let us know a couple of weeks before hand. If you’re looking for a fun day or days come down to Puerto Vallarta fishing and check us out and see what boats/ Captains we have.  We can handle groups from 2 to 200 .

Puerto Vallarta fishing report July. The water is warming up and so is the fishing.  The bay fishing is extreme and all of our boats are landing all kinds of incredible fish like mahi mahi, snapper, bonitos and even sailfish in the bay.  The light evening rains have really set the tremendous fishing frenzy into action.  The super pangas for small groups have been hitting all the fish.  We had one super panga catch and release one sailfish and over 30 other game fish today to start the July fishing season here in Puerto Vallarta.  The light winds have been welcomed by all the families and other fisherman and fisher women as well.

The medium size sport fisher has been catching fish offshore and in the bay.  Some days the bay fishing has been so good there was no reason to head offshore.  These boat run more lines then our super pangas and have also been catching sailfish, marlin, mahi mahi and all the small game you want to catch.  One of these Puerto vallartasport fishers caught a sailfish and marlin today and what a happy group to be in.  What an incredible day of fishing.  This calls for a trip to Gray mounting company that helps us out here in Mexico and other resorts through out the beautiful beach destinations.      

Our larger boats we operate are having a field day offshore and in the bay.  Most of the days we were fishing for the big one 20 to 30 mile offshore but can never turn down the unrealistic action the bay has been producing.  The tunas are out at the Corbetena and some at El Banco.   The marlin fishing has been off the charts just out past Punta Mita Nayarit.  This is very close to the Four Seasons hotel and the ST. Regis hotel here in Punta Mita which is a couple of the nicest 5 star resorts we have in the bay.  The sailfish are also thick just offshore with a few of our boats releasing over 8 sailfish a day along with some dorados.   

The best dorado action has been up close to Lo de Marcos which is a good run for anyone of our boats but we want to catch the fish for our clients.  Fish with the pro here in Puerto Vallarta fishing and you will see a huge difference when going for these throphy fish.

Until next week hope to see everyone out on the water here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

Puerto Vallarta fishing options for the summer time.  The top questions we receive everyday are how many hours should we fish  boat should we rent. The best answer to this question is what you would like to fish for here in beautiful Puerto Vallarta.  In the summer time the bay if full of small game fish bonitas, Jack carvelles, spanish mackerel and mahi – mahi. This is perfect for the six hourdayfishing  trip or even the four hour fishing trip we offer here in Puerto Vallarta fishing.  On most days for big game we need to leave the bay and this requires  an eight hour trip more depending on where the fish are running and what you would like to catch.  Like the marlin, sailfish and mahi-  mahi that roam these waters during the summer months.

panga Puerto Vallarta

The top fishing question is which boat should I rent for the day.  This is an easy question but has several options as well.  The main fishing reason is the size of you group or your family.  If it’s just 2 people I always recommend our 28 to 30 ft super pangas.  These boats are fast and well equipped with the same fishing gear as our bigger boats.  The big difference iscomfort and of course the number of lines that can be run behind the boat while trolling.  Running 6 lines with a super panga is fantastic and throw in a teaser and well you might just have you an incredible day fishing on one of the fine fishing vessels.

The second size sport fishing boat we  offer for families and friends that have 4 or more people is the 34 foot fishing boat.  These boat have a cabin and of course bathroom know as a head on any vessel.  We can run 8 lines at a time and a couple of teasers.  This means you have better chances of hooking up marlin , sailfish and dorados also know as mahi –  mahi in some places.  These pelagic fish can be a tremendous fight that can last for hrs. depending on the size of the fish.

The last but not least  fishing charter boat is one of our 40 foot boat that comes with everything included and are very comfortable to fish in for the longer trip such as 8 or even more hrs.  There is a galley for cooking the fish and a place even to take a nap on some of the long range fishing trips we take out of Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

These 40 foot boat can run 10 lines and teasers for the ultimate fishing experience and landing the big fish of your dreams.

I always get the question on who is the best captain in Puerto Vallarta ?  The answer is a combination of boat the boat and the Capt. And of course the first mate.  We have teams that have been together for over 35 years working on the same boat and know how  to catch fish.  Come out with us and enjoy the excitement of Puerto Vallarta charters fishing here in the warm waters of Mexico.
Look forward to see everyone on the water

Puerto Vallarta fishing June report as the summer time fishing has come early this year.  Each year we wait for the gentle tropical rains start here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico to cool the weather off and to heat up the fishing.  These gentle rains usually start around the middle of the month as the sardines and other bait fish fill the bay of flags also know as Bahia de Banderas.  With all these bait fish in the bay and offshore the waters are full of

mahi – mahi, sailfish, tuna, and even marlin right here in the bay.  If you came to fish Puerto Vallarta now is the time to be here as well as the best of the summer.  Think about it the fishing is incredible and summer has not even got here.

I was out yesterday and have not seen this many bait balls in the bay in a long time.  The bait has been here but now in full force.  The water was around 80 deg. In many parts of the bay and holding fish.  When the water clears a little here in the bay could just be the best fishing of the year this month of June fishing in Puerto Vallarta.  There are sailfish taking live bait and lure during the peak times of tide change.  There have been some blue marlin along with the sailfish in the bay eating every thing in sight.  The same game like Spanish mackerel, yellowtail andbonitas are thick and will be around as the are bait fish every where.

The offshore action is putting up good numbers as well.  the marlin are at the rock as know as the Corbetena.  The large marlin like black and blues are there and will be until the bait runs out our a big temperature change.  The are still a few stripped marlin around as well following bait and hitting really well on lure trolled around 9 knots in flat seas.

For you best offshore action at some of the big pelagic fish is 10 hrs. trip to Corbetena using large chorros or high speed lures like black bart.  The dark colors have been working best for us but have been hitting anything during tide changes.

The water is hot as the fishing in Puerto Vallarta some come down this summer for some great action.  We off some of the best rates for hard core fishermen or just going out in the bay for some family fun  If you want some fantastic fishing the Puerto Vallarta fishing summer fun is the place to be.

Give us a call at one of outtoll free numbers or e mail us as well.

Hoping to see everyone out on the water having fun here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico

Puerto Vallarta fishing is hot.  The large baits have arrived along with bonitas.  This is great on so may levels.  The sardines bring the mahi mahi , sailfish, stripped and other game fish.  When the bait comes here and hangs out for long period of time this means only one thing.  Super fishng in Puerto vallarta.  The sailfish ,  dorados, and marlin all have a water temperature that they like to swim in.  Just like us when we take a bath.  We all have a temperature we like the water to be.  Will so do fish.  This is one of the main reasons we are checking the water and pacific ocean water temps.  These fish love to be in the perfect water temperature around 77 deg..

There’s one thing that will keep fish in Puerto Vallarta or move them to another location.  Food yes food.  Bait.  No matter what the water temp is or the color of the water.  If the bait/food is there ya have a great chance to land the big one that most folks are fishing for here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.  When we find the bait that these pelagic fish love we have hit a home run.  We like these conditions are the fish are thick and there for the catching.  I use terrafin  for all of our boats.  If it’s one of our super pangas 28 ft., or med size sportfishers 32 ft. or one of the 40 ft sportfishers with everything included.

The bonitas we caught to dayare a good sing that the big fish are here and coming to stay.  The big tuna and marlin love to eat the 5 to 10 lbs bonitas.  Bait for us that fish for these big guys.  Ya must have a good boat that has tuna tubes are you are just wasting your time. If you can find the big baits and load up the tuna tubes your chances of catching a big marlin have increased ten times.  When the water temp start rising and the two favorites baits start showing up these means great fishing here in Puerto vallarta.  The  marlin will be here and so will the best fishing in the world.  Come down catch one of these trophy fish that run in these waters of the Pacific ocean and the are that surround Puerto vallarta.

This last week the bay fishing was hot for snapper, yellowtail, Spanish mackerel and other game fish.  Best bet was 6 hrs. in the bay on one of our super pangas for smaller groups or one of the larger boats for 4 or more people wanting to fish here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

The offshore action has be incredible.  The stripped marlin have been hanging around for the bait that I described above along with sailfish.  These trips can be done in 8 hrs. or  maybe 10 hrs. depending on where the fish are running.  It’s best to call and speak with Capt. Peter Vines toll free to plan your fishing charter here in Puerto Vallarta before you come down to find the right boat and the best trip for you and family.

January  fishing report in Puerto Vallarta
Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year. 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 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 lot of huge mantas, sea turtles, dolphin 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 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.
The offshore trips are landing some nice marlin,sailfish and mahi mahi. A couple of the best spots we fish el morro and Corbetena
Have been the best this month. There have been several nice marlin caught on some 8 hrs trips but 10 hrs has been the best bet for
Catching the huge fish. The are black marlin , blue marlin and of course stripped marlin. The first 2 marlin species have been hitting
Fast speed lures and our old favorite live bait. The latter has been on lures , pitch baits , and the slow troll with 2 to 4 lb baits. The tuna are still
Hanging around Corbetena, El Morro and of course El Banco.
The very best fishing has been at the islands Maries. These are 2.5 day trips where you can catch marlin, sailfish, tuna and the bigger marlin.
Send me a message for the details about these fanstic trip for all kinds of great fishing at vallartafishing@hotmail.com

Puerto Vallarta fishing report August 18, 2017
The fishing for the month of August here in Puerto Vallarta has been strong. We have been having lot of families and some fantastic trips here but school has started the last week and now it time to start fishing for the big ones. I’m talking 8 hrs deep sea fishing trips here in Puerto Vallarta plus a few hrs. The summer time can be great here in the bay but most of the time the big marlin are hanging around the Corbentena and El Banco. The fishing there can be epic at times. Big tuna , marlin, sailfish and mahi mahi also known as dorados. The Corbetena is 35 miles from Puerto Vallarta and El Banco is 50 miles. On these trips we usually fish early morning high speed lures and then switch to skip baits. On arrival to one of these spots we always look for the bait movement. Where there’s lots of bait movement there will be marlin and big tunas. We like to start with the 5 to 10 lbs. bait and do a slow troll about 1 to 2 knots. The marlin can’t resist these baits. And when ya hook up hold on for a 3 to 4 hr. ride in the chair. The water temp is holding around 80 deg. is most places and this makes for good fishing here in Puerto Vallarta. Come on down and wet a line with us and have some summer fun while it last. The beers are cold and the fishing is hot.

August 5 , 2017

This week in Puerto Vallarta fishing we are going to look into the most important issues on chartering a fishing boat here in Puerto Vallarta.

1 )  Safety.  is first in anything you do here in Puerto Vallarta or else where.
We have been doing charters here for almost 35 years 0 accidents.
2 ) The crew.  You can have a great crew and this makes for a  fantastic day.
if you wind up with the wrong crew it can be a long day.  Make sure the crew
knows your requests and what you expect them to do for you.
3 ) The boat.  This is one of the most important factors.  if you want to go
offshore and rent a boat that can’t make it you are in for a long boat ride.
Talk to the Capt. or owner before you trip.  This can be hard as most of the
companies have someone else doing the emails or answering the phone.
I do all the calls and e mails personally.  Plan your trip to ensure a great day.
4 ) Communication .  It does not matter if you have a fast boat and super
crew if you can’t commutate with them. The day want be any fun.
Make sure you, your guests/family are on the same page and can converse
with the crew.  This will guarantee you understand what to do and not do.  Plus see all the sights coming and
going to the fishing grounds and returning such as sea life, special points of interests, landmarks.
5 ) Where to fish and length of trip.  If you want a marlin, mahi mahi or sailfish you will need to plan the length
of your trip accordingly.  Some days the fish are here in the bay other days they are offshore.  Make sure
you have plenty of time to get to fishing grounds to ensure you can hook up the fish of your dreams.
I personally use a satellite service that I pay for annually  each year that tells me where the blue water is,chlorophyll breaks,
water temp., altimetry,currents and winds.
Hope this information helps you chose the right boat for your family and friends while on Vacation here in beautiful
Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta fishing report

July 9 , 2017

The water and weather has heated up.  The fishing has heated up as well.  We have fished several days in the bay and several days outside the bay.  Both types of fishing trips have been very successful. The bay fishing can be done in 4 to 6 hrs.  We have caught lots of small game fish over the last few days.  The jack carvelles are every where .  The best bet has been the tuna over by Yelapa and Los Arcos.  The mahi mahi also know as dorados are along the south shore.  The water has been clear to a little off color.  The have been some roosterfish mixed in with these other fish.  The south side of the bay for roosterfish is best right now,  The temp has been over 80 deg. in most places.  We have used all kinds of trolling, pitch baits, fast lures, down riggers and skipping baits to catch these fish.
The offshore fishing is still great .  Sailfish , tuna and big marlin or just a few of the fish for summer fishing in Puerto Vallarta.  The 10 and 12 hr s trips have been fantastic catching all kinds of fish mostly marlin and tuna.  The sailfish action is strong as well.
The summer fishing in Puerto Vallarta can’t be beat so come on down and wet a line with us.

Puerto Vallarta Fishing Report

Fishing Report Punta Mita

April 2017

The spring time fishing is in full swing here in Puerto Vallarta fishing.   The water temp is holding around 78 deg. and blue water in most places. If you can’t get to the blue water that is holding bait the chances are not good for big game fishing here in Puerto Vallarta fishing.  Some days the run has been short but others plan on around 2 hrs. I’ve been using terrafin and plotting courses before we leave the dock. This cuts down on the time we need to find where the fish are feeding. This information along with what we did the day before is the best knowledge you can have when going after big game.

Right now there are marlin, tuna, sailfish and dorados here in Puerto Vallarta fishing. Last week the tuna were at the banco ( 50 miles offshore ) and Corbetena  you need to plan on a 10 to  12 hr trip to catch these. The marlin were hanging around the Corbetena which is a 10 hr trip but can turn into a 12 hr trip depending on the action. Some folks just don’t want to leave when they see all the action the fishing spot has to offer. The large bonitas ( 5 to 10 lbs ) we use for the big tuna and marlin work really well for pargos around the rocks at Corbetena and Banco. A simple slow drift with whole or  bonita work best. If we have live bonitas we will put them down first.

Puerto Vallarta tuna fishing

The sailfish have been in and outside the bay the last few days. These trips can be done in 8 hrs. Best bet is to work the chlorophyll break line where we know the blue water meets the slightly off color water, works great for catching the dorados ( mahi-mahi dolphin ) as well.

The inshore fishing has been a mixed bag. Some days finding mahi mahi and sails in the bay and just outside. The bonitas have been all over the bay. The jack cerville are schooling in and just outside the bay. These trips can be done in 4 to 6 hrs.
