Puerto Vallarta fishing report
Hola to all my fishing buddies!
this fishing season is off to a great start and the first week of October has been one of the best weeks in months! We are landing mahi-mahi from 15lb to 40lb, sailfish and marlin.
This week Michael Mark and friend went out for 3 days, first day 4hr (that will keep you in the bay) and Michael landed 5 mahi-mahi, then next day 8hr and amber jack and mahi- mahi, and 3rd day 8hr they landed a 90lb sailfish, mahi-mahi and some red snapper between 10lb to 15lb (bottom fishing)
so they had a great fishing weekend!
As you see, mahi-mahi can be landed inside the bay and outside the bay for the moment.
Untill next time!

September in Puerto Vallaera
Good Morning amigos!
We are in September "El mes patrio" or "the month of our country" as we all know it in México.
In the early hours of September 16, 1810, father "Don" Miguel Hidalgo (Catholic priest), accompanied by several conspirators –Iganacio Allende, Doña Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez- rang the bell of his little church, calling everyone to fight for liberty. This was the beginning of the Independence war against the Spanish colonial goverment, which lasted 10 years.
This event has since assumed an almost mythic status.[5][6] Since the late 20th century, Hidalgo y Costilla’s "cry of independence" has become emblematic of Mexican independence.
Each year on the night of September 15 at around eleven in the evening, the President of Mexico rings the bell of the National Palace in Mexico City. After the ringing of the bell, he repeats a cry of patriotism (a Grito Mexicano) based upon the "Grito de Dolores", with the names of the important heroes of the Mexican War of Independence and ending with the threefold shout of ¡Viva Mexico! from the balcony of the palace to the assembled crowd in the Plaza de la Constitución, or Zócalo, one of the largest public plazas in the world. After the shouting, he rings the bell again and waves the Flag of Mexico to the applause of the crowd, and is followed by the playing and mass singing of the Himno Nacional Mexicano, the national anthem. This event draws up to half a million spectators from all over Mexico and tourists worldwide. On the morning of September 16, or Independence Day, the national military parade starts in the Zócalo, passes the Hidalgo Memorial and ends on the Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City’s main boulevard.
A similar celebration occurs in cities and towns all over Mexico, and in Mexican embassies and consulates worldwide, on the 15th or the 16th. The mayor (or governor, in the case of state capitals and ambassadors or consuls in the case of overseas celebrations), rings a bell and gives the traditional words, with the names of Mexican independence heroes included, ending with the threefold shout of Viva Mexico!, the bell ringing for the second time, the waving of the Mexican flag and the mass singing of the National Anthem by everyone in attendance. In the 19th century, it became common practice for Mexican presidents in their final year in office to re-enact the Grito in Dolores Hidalgo, rather than in the National Palace. President Calderón officiated at the Grito in Dolores Hidalgo as part of the bicentennial celebrations in 2010 on the 16th of September, even though he had to do this first, to launch the national bicentennial celebrations, in the National Palace balcony on the night of the 15th.[7][8]
The following day, September 16 is Independence Day in Mexico and is considered a patriotic holiday, or fiesta patria (literally, holiday of the Fatherland). This day is marked by parades, patriotic programs, drum and bugle and marching band competitions, and special programs on the national and local media outlets, even concerts.
so if you are planning to come to Puerto Vallarta these days, you will find our beautiful city decorated and ready for a real Mexican party!

fishing report August 2011
Hola to all my fishing buddies from our beautiful city of PuertoVallarta!the tuna continues to amaze me,We are still landing tuna in the 6hr charters at the south side of the bay.
they are much smaller than what we are use to in these waters. (20lb to 150lb) but put up a great fight,specially using light 20lb test line.
We have been using live bait,castmasters of all kinds & luhrs and all seems to work just fine.
Small dorado (mahi-mahi) and sailifish are finaly starting to show up, but Marlin,are still a no show in the 8hr charters. you still need a 10hr to 12hr charter to have a chance with the blue and black marlin.
hopefuly soon we will start spoting Marlin in the 8hr range
do not forget to visit Puerto Vallarta fishing for more information about our charters
Well,untill next time...

Puerto Vallarta fishing report June 3th
Hola from puerto vallarta to all my fishing buddies!
Sorry for the delay with our fishing report but we are finally back.
This week I went out fishing on the 28ft panga "la bella del mar" with my friend Bob, captain Torri and "Flaco" as deckhand. We headed out to the southside of the bay to an area called "El Faro" just outside the point of the bay,used luhrs,castmasters and live bait and to our amazement,everything worked throught the day and we landed pleanty young yellow fin tuna in the 20lb to 35lb range.
this is just the beginning of our tuna season and the big monster tunas (200lb to 350lb) are just around the corner.
We also spotted a few mahi-mahi but could not get them to bite.
The water temperature is now about 83º so we should start landing big blue,stripped and black marlin soon,so untill the next time!

Hola to all my fishing buddies around the globe!
the water temperature and our climate is finaly starting to warm up,so we are starting to spot bill fish getting closer to our bay of banderas,also mahi mahi,but for nowwe are in "african pampano" heaven. (of course we are not in Africa)
I went out with captain Nacho in a 26ft panga called "La Bamba" about 22 miles out to the area of "el morro" and the elephant rock.
We were fishing using live bait and early in the morning we landed 3 tough fighting amber jacks,one in the 45lb range and 2 in the 20lb range but around 12:00pm, we started hooking up the delicious african pampano non stop! one after another from 5lb to 30lb. in total we landed about 20 pampanos and 3 amber jacks.
special thanks to Ron and his wife who chartered the boat and share a few of their own fishing secrets.
until the next time! your fishing buddie: Jonathan.
