Puerto Vallarta fishing top 10 baits and boats

Top 10 fishing baits and boats for Puerto Vallarta along with some interesting facts about the fish we catch here.

Puerto Vallarta fishing with lures

1 black bart lures. These lures can catch just about anything that swims in the ocean. The fishing lures from these folks are costly, but worth every dollar. Marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo, and mahi-mahi are just a few of the pelagic fish these lures catch on a daily basis here in Puerto Vallarta.

Puerto Vallarta fishing for marlin with natural baits

2 We use a variety of natural baits for trolling, casting, and down riggers. The best time to use these baits is any time you are on the water. I’m a big fan of lures but natural baits can’t be beat. If you are wanting to catch huge marlin to good eating fish the natural bait works almost all the time.

Puerto Vallarta fishing charters with all kinds of baits.

3 The natural bait with a lure attached. When the fishing is slow or hard conditions, these types of bait with light up the water and bring finicky fish right to the boat. When using the types of offshore and inshore baits the big advantage is it’s natural and a lure combined. These incredible fishing baits last longer and can be rigged in a1000 different combinations.

Puerto Vallarta fishing trips with high speed lures.

4, High-speed lure for fishing different fishing grounds. When fishing a large are where the water clarity and temperature are the same it is best to use some fast.lures. The big advantage is the deep sea fishing boats can cover more area in a short period of time. When you get several strikes switch from fast-speed lures and fish with a combination of natural baits along with you favorite lures. Works every time.

fishing with live baits in Puerto Vallarta Mexico

5 Live baits for all different kinds of fish in all kind of fishing conditions. When the wind or waves pick up it really has no affect on the fish but has a big affect on the way they feed. If you can find the right water temperature. Good water clarity and where there is an abundance of bait fish they will be feeding at this fishing spot. This is when you want to use live bait . We fish with live 10 lbs. Bonitas to spreading out several goggle eyes . The is nothing better than live baiting and works any where in the world. We catch huge mahi-mahi.tuna and marlin on a regular basis using live bait rigs.

bottom fishing in Puerto Vallarta

6 Cut bait when fishing around reefs or shallow fishing grounds. The reef fish live in these areas and feed there every day. If you fish with fresh-cut bait such as squid. Mullet. Chorros around reefs the fish will tear up the cut bait. This is one of the best methods for bottom fishing. Works anywhere in offshore fishing to shore fishing here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico.

Puerto Vallarta kite fishing

8 Kite fishing with live bait. When the fishing gets really tough it time to rigs some kite baits. The baits range from.live squid,live mullet to big choras. The kite flys a 100 meters from the boat just dangling the bait in the water. There is no line in the water to spook the fish. On days when the tuna are being finicky or line scared the kite baits work best for this type of fishing. This works well in Mexico and other great places for deep sea fishing trips.

Puerto Vallarta jigging fishing

9 Jig baits range from bottom fishing to casting jigs. when bottom fishing and having good success these jigs work fantastic for snapper, tiger fish, red snapper, amberjack and many other bottom-feeding fish. The other time we pull the jig baits out is when the fish are schooling on the surface. The fisherman love casting into a school of feeding fish. It’s like a box of chocolates,you never know what you are going to get.

rapala fishing in Puerto vallarta

10 Rapalas are the deepest diving baits that can work well below the surface. The small, medium to large baits catch red snapper,wahoo,tuna and even sailfish on certain days. Most fishermen love to fish topwater baits most days and this works well fishing here in Puerto Vallarta. When the top water action is slow go to the deep water diving baits every time. You will see the rods starting to bend immediately. Remember, if the fish are not feeding on the surface they are feeding down below the water line.

Our top fishing boats for offshore are our 40 foot sportfishers

32 foot sportfishers for offshore and bay fishing

28 foot super pangas for bay fishing,reef and bottom fishing.

Good luck while fishing all these different kinds of baits here in Puerto Vallarta Mexico. Please send comments or questions to Capt. Peter Vines vallartafishing@hotmail.com or call me for the latest fishing conditions and which baits are working the best for each season.
