Marina Vallarta Las Palmas I Local 3

We’re Fishing in a barrel, Marlin, Dorado, YF Tuna, Sailfish, PV On Fire!

And at this time of the year the fishing is white hot! November marks one of the two months that the High Tourism season meshes with High Season for Fishing where vacationers and professionals alike are sharing the same fishing grounds. Now of course they’re mostly looking for Yellowfin Tuna at this time of the year and they´re coming in with full cockpits! Black Marlin have moved back into the area and Sailfish are huge, some in the 120 lb range and 13 feet long! November is always an exciting month in Puerto Vallarta and this year looks to be exciting as well!

Tournament Season Level Fishing Happening Now in Puerto Vallarta!

Once you enter the middle of October anywhere within 400 miles of Puerto Vallarta, north or south, you’ll find the best conditions for fishing for the entire year. Cabo had two tournaments the last week including the Bisbee’s Black and blue. A week earlier, there was the Los Cabos Tournament sponsored by Marlin Magazine. Soon we’ll have the Pez Vela Tournament coming up here in mid November (www.fishvallarta.com for details) which is always a big local hit and this year marks the 55th year this tournament has been running. The point being these locations schedule tournaments when fishing is at its best! With Yellowfin Tuna, Sailfish, Marlin and Dorado all firing right now you can only imagine how good conditions are right now for the angler looking for a trophy. But the fishing grounds are still deserted, a lingering effect of the bad economy up north, but for those heading out, the best fishing grounds in the world can be yours almost alone!

Yellowtail Tuna, Black / Striped Marlin Abundant, Hurricane Frank Fishing Opportunities

Well, all the kids are back in school, North American types as well as the Mexican nationals. It´s slow season folks in Vallarta, but that is not to say the fishing is slow! In fact it is just the opposite as we enter High Season for Fishing in Puerto Vallarta. That’s right, the kids are in school, tourism is down, Deals are all over the internet and the fishing is getting better by the day. Yellowfin Tuna are abundant at El Banco running anywhere from 80 to 180 lbs. Striped Marlin are coming on strong lately off the point of Punta Mita. Rooster fish at Sayulita, the whole bay is rockin and waiting for you to show up amigos!

Fishing Report: Yellowfin Tuna More Abundant By The Day, Marlin Everywhere, Big Snappers Return, Sportfishing in Puerto Vallarta Rocks!

The world of sport fishing is a small and close knit community. The same ones you will read about and see in the magazines and TV shows are the same people you will see around the Village in Marina Vallarta as we get deeper into High Season. When it comes to World Class Deep Sea Fishing or Big Game Fishing, it is hard to beat the reputation of Puerto Vallartas fishing grounds! Right now we are seeing the sorts of things we look for in a world class location like Giant Marlin, very large Yellowfin Tuna, large Sailfish and more.

Marlin Becomes Dominant Species, Yellowfin Tuna South of Corbeteña, Fishing in PV

At this time of the year, anything is possible at Puerto Vallarta Fishing Grounds. This past week we have seen a slight increase in tourism so we have better information to share with you about the fishing action here in Puerto Vallarta (PV). You can find anything you want out there right now, but not every species is going to cooperate and be where you are looking. So have a full tank, some cold beer and a good set of eye balls on the boat! You will have to work a little, but at least you’ll come in with something worth of mounting!

Fishing Report: Marlin Fishing turns World Class as Tournament Season Begins, Sportfishing in PV

One thing is for sure, when we finally reach this time of the year, it doesn´t matter what Obama is doing, it doesn´t matter what is going on with the economy, it doesn´t matter which way the dollar is going. The only thing that will matter to a fanatical fisherman looking for Monster Yellowfin Tuna or huge Black Marlin is getting on the water and getting a strike. It’s like my ex wife with a fresh credit card at a Nordstrom’s sale, you´re not going to stop her, all you can do is hope the damage is kept to a fanatical minimum! I know, what the hell does that mean……

Big Game Fishing Explodes with the Return of Dorado, Marlin, Look for Blue Water, Puerto Vallarta Sport Fishing

The Skies have opened up in Puerto Vallarta which means the seasonal rains are now a daily occurrence. We are seeing rain most evenings now which of course brings opportunities and challenges alike when it comes to Sportfishing in Puerto Vallarta. Marlin have moved into the blue water fishing grounds and Sailfish are more abundant daily. Those targeting Yellowfin Tuna will be disappointed unless they´re willing to put the time and work in!

First, let’s talk about conditions, when it rains around Puerto Vallarta,

Master Baiter´s® is one of, if not the oldest Sportfishing company in Puerto Vallarta. We get questions all the time asking what we should expect from year to year at specific times. We can make charts, we can form plans and we can find that all of the effort was a waste of time. When coming down to Puerto Vallarta we all know there are certain times of the year when one species or another is going to be more prevalent than others. This time of the year we see Black Marlin begin to take over the fishing grounds of Corbeteña and El Banco or The Bank in English. Between these two locations you can usually expect to boat a trophy sized finned fantasy or Yellowfin Tuna, Black Marlin, Sailfish, Striped Marlin or even Blue Marlin. You get the feeling Corbeteña (or the Rock as it is commonly called) has a ¨thing¨ for Marlin?! Right now there is just about any fish you wish out there, but you have to be a little lucky to come across some popular species!
