If I told you that in the highest part of high season for both fishing and tourism you could have Puerto Vallarta´s world famous fishing grounds absolutely to yourself, you´d probably think I was telling you a fishy story. But these are indeed the conditions that exist at Corbeteña and El Banco. Now you may think the fishing must be horrible if there are no boats heading out, but that would be an ¨inaccurate¨ presumption. The reason I say this is because the fishing is incredible with not a single sportsman in sight. Black Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna, all the players are here. The only thing missing is YOU.

Normally in December we see the turn of the season, the days are cooler, the evening cold to those who live here in Puerto Vallarta Year Round. This December as yet has been unseasonably warm keeping our world famous fishing grounds warm and abundant with fish! A machine for Marlin and Yellowfin Tuna. Dorado are still strong around the Marietta Islands, with some nice bulls still hanging out around ignored El Morro. With empty fishing grounds, the seasonal Sportsman has everything he could possibly want. Perfect temperatures, blue water, abundant fishing, deserted fishing grounds, it´s like you´re in the 50´s but with newer equipment. For a short time every year the conditions come together and form the Champaign days of Sportfishing in Puerto Vallarta.
With the warm weather continuing into unseasonable, water temperatures remain in the prefect range for all the usual gamefish we love to write about. Bait Balls exploding all over the deep water locations of Corbeteña and El Banco. Blue water, and deserted fishing grounds. You can literally head out to Corbeteña and be the only boat for as far as the eye can see. For this time of the year this is highly unusual and creates an opportunity to have the fishing grounds all to yourself, now that is a luxury. The Full moon phase of the month has done what it always does, pushed the bite to the early morning hours. Fishing remains steady and reliable into December, give yourself a Christmas Present, you deserve it!
As the weather becomes more pleasant every day we can all understand how words like paradise flow so easily. It´s the one time of the year when it seems the planets align and the gods smile on Puerto Vallarta and her world famous fishing grounds. The 57th Pez Vela Tournament happened this past week end and as you would expect it was a monster success. But with the tournament happening, there needs to be fish and fish we have amigos! Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, Yellowfin Tuna, Cubera Snappers, you name it. Deep Water is where it´s at, but short days guarantee fish tales for days and years to come. Time to go fishing, world records are waiting to be had amigos!
When it´s great, it´s great and it´s great right now, for the short day or the long way Fisherman. We´ve hit that time of the year when the cookie cutter reports are more than welcome. Who could be disappointed reading there are fish to be had for every taste or fishing desire. It´s just amazing in Puerto Vallarta’s world class fishing grounds right now. Predictable warm, blue water, smooth seas, abundant bait, abundant fish, even the bay is back to its old self. The red tide has filtered out of the bay leaving fresh water for our usual summer species. Deep water fishing grounds continue to satisfy even the most jaded and a day fishing on the bay is favorably priced. It´s tournament season and you can enjoy the best ¨fishing¨ has to offer here in beautiful Puerto Vallarta.
As we continue into the best part of the fishing season here in Puerto Vallarta the fishing couldn´t be better. Right Now, Yellowfin Tuna, Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado and more are in abundance at the deep water locations. That´s the good news, there is plenty of fish to be had. If you are looking for your own personal ¨Moby Dick¨ then you´ll find him. Just about anywhere from Corbeteña to El Banco is alive with the sort of action that can only be classified as ¨world class¨.
Everything has come together, perfect water temperatures of 82 to 85 degrees, Sapphire Blue water at all the fishing grounds, abundant bait, Yellowfin Tuna Cows (150 to 200 lbs) at Corbeteña, Marlin at El Banco, Dorado getting larger by the day and Sailfish are taking over. All Year long I bide my time to write reports about this time of the year. You won´t find better conditions and fishing anywhere at this time of the year than here Puerto Vallarta from now until New Years, it´s time to play ¨Pick Your Fish¨. You want it, we´ve got it!

For months now I have been writing what I call ¨fluffy¨ fishing articles making what I would consider a disappointing summer sound as positive as possible. The fishing scene this summer was not about Mexico, but rather southern California. Warm water, plenty of bait and currents that swept our world class gamefish to points north of the Mexican border were very welcome indeed to the Southern Cal boys for sure. Yes we had fair sized Yellowfin Tuna, Sailfish, small Marlin, but no Dorado to speak of. With plenty of bait in the water, perfect water temperatures, Sapphire blue water at all the fishing grounds and disappointing fish counts. This week things have changed for the positive, Animal House with Captain Luis and First Mate David Chorra came in with a 300 lb Yellowfin Monster! Even The Bank or El Banco finally started firing on all eight cylinders. For those who have been saving their precious fuel dollars now is the time to raid the piggy bank amigos. We are now in the best time of the year to boat that ¨bucket list¨ fish you´ve always dreamed of as fishing explodes in Puerto Vallarta!
