Puerto Vallarta fishing report April 2014

Hola once agian to all my fishing buddies 

On this day we departed from the Marina vallarta at 7:00 am and headed to the Marietas islands. About half mile from the Marietas we ran into a big school of sardines where captian Hector started casting with a castmaster and we landed a couple of 5 lb bonitas to put in the Tuna tubes for use later on the big roosters that are near the Marietas and also El morro island. We continued just past las Marrietas and started trolling with luhres and landed about 5 sierra in the 12lb range. 

Things got slow for a while so moved back to the marietas and started using the big eye live bait just dropping the lines in the shallower areas of the island and quicky started landing small african pompanos!  4 in total in the 5 to 8 lb range. Then we proceeded to change our bait to the bonitas we had previously caught and had in our tuna tubes. 

This was the end of our 8 hour trip and was full of excitement as we landed our first big roosterfish. My friend Kathy from Colorado started fighting the fish for 10 minutes in she was done so husband David took over and brought the rooster in 25 minutes later for a total fight of 35 minutes. The weight was a good 55 lbs. We ended up landing one more big rooster weighing about 35lbs. All in all we had another successful trip with captain Hector. So if your comming down to visit Puerto Vallarta don't forget to contact us here at  Charlys. You can pre book online or just drop in and pay us a visit. So until next time.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report March 7th 2014

Hola to all my fishing buddies!!

The last couple of weeks have been Roosterfish heaven as our captians have been fishing the Marieta Island and El moro island areas for big Roosters. 

We have been landing roosters from 20 to 50lbs, red snapper 10 to 30lbs, amberjacks 50lbs, These are being caught in the 8 hour charters using Bonitas and big eyes for bait. Sailfish are also in reach on the 8 hour charter. 

On our 12 hour charters near the fishing grounds of El banco the big Tuna started arriving as Captain Nacho landed two 200lb yellow fin tuna near El banco so the waters are starting to warm up and that means big tuna and Marlin. 

So come join us at Charlys fishing charters and get ready to enjoy an exciting day of fishing.

Until next time!

Your fishing buddy,

Puerto Vallarta fishing report

Hola! To all my fishing buddies 

This month has been very good if you are looking for Mahi-mahi, Sailfish, and rooster fish. We are also landing smaller game fish like sierra and artic bonnita.  This week i had an oportunity to go out with my wife Genovie and friend Kathy with Captain Hector (Tortas) on an 8 hour charter. We started off at (el morro) island which is located about 22 miles from the marina, there we landed several Sierra and artic bonnita in the 4 to 8lb range. From there we proceeded towards the fishing grounds 5 miles from the Sayulita shore were we started using live bait and trolling at about 6 knots for sailfish and Mahimahi,  and were not disappointed  as we landed 4 nice mahimahi in the 20 to 30lb range within an 1 ½  hours . As the day progressed we hooked on to a nice sailfish that  put on quite a show for us. So in all we had a great day. So we will be waiting for you here at Charlys fishing for a memorable day of fishing.Enjoy the pictures!

Until next time

Puerto Vallarta fishing report

Hola once again to all my fishing buddies!

On this fishing trip Charles Sutton and his two partners went out with captain Hector and deckhand Victor on a 10 hour charter to the fishing area know as (La Corbeteña) or the Rock , the crew was using Big eyes for live bait  and it worked just great , the ocean was just a little ruff but paid no attention to the swells as the ocean was teaming  with yellow fin tunas in all directions and kept everyone busy bringing in the tuna one right after the other , it didn't take long before  there was no strength left in our arms needless to say out backs to. So if you are planning one coming down to fish in the near future and your looking for some great tuna fishing they can be caught in the 10 or 12 hour charters anywhere from 20 to 200 lb Yellow fin Tuna. So until next time!

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!

Due to the cold water temperatures that have hit us for the past month,the type of fish that we are landing has changed. we are now in redsnapper´s heaven and also a lot of african pampano.
on this tour i used a lot of live bait and landed redsnapper one right after another using: (big eye) live bait.
they were around 10lb to 20lb snappers!  I also landed a couple of roosterfish in the 35lb range and some african pampano. enjoy the pictures!

Fishing report. By Jonathan Peinado.


Good morning to all my fishing buddy’s

This week has been a new beginning for dorado (mahi-mahi) in Puerto Vallarta, the heavy rains have filled the natural rivers to their capacity, and the river flow into the ocean has attracted the dorado to the bay, I went out for a short 6 hour fishing trip this Sunday around the river divide just inside the bay ,fishing around the tree stumps and palms that flowed out from the rivers to the ocean, these areas are a favorite feeding grounds for big dorado and other ocean fish such as Toro and smaller game fish, my partner Juan Carlos and I landed 4 Dorado in the 15 to 30 lb range and landed a few (bonitas).so it was a fun and successful fishing trip, cant wait for my next trip out. so until next time
