Puerto Vallarta fishing report

September 2014 

Hola to all my fishing buddies!  here is my Puerto Vallarta fishing report.

The last 3 weeks, mahi-mahi on our 8 hour charters have just gone mad with our boats bringing in on an average 8 to 12 Mahi-mahi in the 15lb to 20lb range and in our 10 hour charters yellow fin tuna and marlin. This past week on one of our 10 hour charters with captain Hector, luck was on our side!  as he hooked on to a 225lb Tuna at the fishing grounds of La corbeteña. He used a live 5lb Bonita as bait and the fight lasted a good 1hr 45 min using a penn international 50 with 40lb test line. During the day they also landed some Mahi-mahi and various other types of smaller game fish. The water temperature is a very warm 86°f and the current is just right for big game fishing. So come down and enjoy some great fishing as we are starting to get busy for this season. Get your reservations in and get ready for a fun and exciting day fishing with our experienced and professional captains and crew.

Until next time!

Puerto Vallarta fishing report June 2014

Hola once again to all my fishing buddies!

On this trip Fernando and wife went out with the one and only captain Hector. They went out for 3 days and had a wonderful time fishing. On this day they did an 8 hour charter and headed out to the Marietas islands area and they also fished el Moro island. The water temperature has finally warmed up and the tuna,marlin and sailfish are coming in close to the bay. On this day Fernando and wife landed some Yellowfin tuna and also 2 nice sailfish, with one catch and release.

 Their hunt for Mahi mahi was unsuccessful but they did see many but they just were not biting. I expect as the rains are arriving that the river flows that go into the ocean the bay will be teaming with schools of mahi mahi and the giant tuna will get closer. So don't forget to book your fishing charter with us (Charly´s fishing). You can also read about all our client comments visiting Tripadvisor.com 

Until next time!

Sighting off!

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 February 2014

Puerto Vallarta fishing report February 2014

To all my fishing buddies

In the last 2 weeks the water temperature has cooled to 82f so we have slowed down just a bit on the bill fishing and mahi-mahi but there are still mahi-mahi to be found. On the 8 hour charters we have been landing an occasional Mahi-mahi 15 to 25lbs but the rooster-fish have been in abundance weighing in from 15 to 45lbs. 

Out at the Marietas islands the African pampano have been every where. All our boats have had good luck jigging in the shallow rocky areas of the island and also using live bait (Big eyes) for the red snappers that are in the area. The tuna and Marlin are still very far out and in my opinion its better to wait for the water to warm up and skip the long fishing charters as when the water temp gets up to around 84 or 85 we should start seeing some more action on big marlin and yellow fin tuna.




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

To all my fishing Buddies!

This past week Charly´s team headed out fishing just a couple of miles past the (marieta islands). We left the Marina Vallarta around 7:30 am and reached our fishing spot at 8:45am. Captain Howard and deckhand Nacho decided to fallow the river current that pours out into the ocean during this time of year from the Sierra Madre rain forest into the ocean for many miles, there,  the sardines were feeding and resting under the floating Palms,kelp and tree trunks. We started trolling aside the current and debris and quickly hooked on to a big Sailfish which took about 25 minutes to land. 

Nacho, Charly, Jonathan

Then 1 hour later, we landed another nice Sailfish  that we were able to release back into the ocean. As the day progressed Captain Howard decided to start using Big eyes which was our live bait we had in our live well and it didn't take long before we started landing Mahi-mahi in the 20 to 40 lb range,.At last count we landed 5 nice Mahimahi,sailfish and some artic bonitas before heading back. So at this time fishing for Mahi- mahi is of the hook as all boats are coming in with smiles on there faces after having a good day fishing. So come on down for some good fishing and excitement with Charlys fishing team.
