Puerto Vallarta Fishing Report – June 2025: The Ultimate Summer Fishing Adventure
Welcome to the most exciting Puerto Vallarta fishing report of the year! June marks the beginning of the rainy season (June 15 – October 15), but don’t let that fool you—this is when the fishing truly heats up. While some may assume rain slows things down, the opposite is true. The evening rains push baitfish into the bay, attracting massive pelagic predators. If you find bait movement, you’ll find fish, and June delivers some of the year’s best action.
Prime Fishing Conditions in June
Heavy rains create a unique phenomenon where rivers flood, washing debris into the bay. This forms “trash lines”—where dark blue and off-colored water meet—that become hunting grounds for sailfish, mahi-mahi (dorado), and even marlin. Slow-trolling live bait along these lines is incredibly effective. When you see a fleet of boats working these areas, you know the bite is on!
Floating debris, including logs and vegetation, also creates artificial reefs that attract dorado, tuna, and smaller gamefish in the bay. But if you’re after trophy-sized catches, offshore is where the real giants roam.
