Puerto Vallarta fishing report

Hola to all my fishing buddies from Mexico, USA, Canada and the rest of the world!

As to fishing, we are having our best season in the last 2 years, due to remodeling our office we haven't been able to go out fishing but, Charly´s team has sent out some fishing charters this last month and most of them have had great success so, like the old saying goes: " pictures tell the full story"

This month we sent out several charters and the ocean is teaming with mostly sailfish, mahi mahi and blue marlin.  This month our 3 boats on the spotlight are Hatteras 32 ft, Bertram 30ft  both with Captain Erik,

And superpanga 26ft with Captain Nacho. which had a great fishing days that do not come around everyday. With 2 blue marlins (350lb average) and a lot os mahi-mahi and sailfish.

So come down and visit us, at Charly´s we will give you a fishing trip to remember! 

Until next time, your fishing buddy: Jonathan!

  

1st International fishing tournament at La cruz de Huanacaxtle

Hola amigos!
We are happy to share our experience in the 1st international fishing tournament at La cruz de Huanacaxtle,Nayarit.  

Our customer and friend from Texas Joey Goss and his friends Poncho Leal and Dean McLean trusted in us to be the ones to take them to the tournament in one of our fleet boats "El Matador" with Captain Manny as our fishing guide, Mitchell and Israel as deckhands and me, Juan Carlos as their host.

It was an unforgettable experience!

Everything started with a welcome party in Marina La Cruz, October 10th where we registered our team, got our number and freebies, got to know the grounds and enjoy some drinks,tacos and live music as we were making our plan for the next day. 

October 11th.-  Departing at 7:00am after the official inauguration ceremony, we headed to one of the most popular big game fishing areas known as "El banco" (the bank) around 35 miles away from la cruz de huanacaxtle, where Captain Manny spotted our bait (bonitas and choras). We landed around seven two pound bonitas with small big eyes as bait. We came back with a nice sailfish and a lot of excitement!

October 12th.- Day of rest..

October 13th.- Departing at 5:00am after our day of rest, this time we headed to another popular big game fishing area known as "la corbeteña" or "la piedra" (the rock).  Where after landing our bait, fun started...

We landed 6 yellow fin tunas, one dorado and 2 sailfish! It was an impressive day and all our anglers were pretty tired but excited, happy and ready for the next and last day...

October 14th.- Departing at 5:00am we went back to "La corbeteña" and at the beginning, it was slow as bait was not hungry and it was very hard to get it!  Dolphins were all around the place eating our bait, so Captain Manny gave instructions to his deckhands to change the strategy and use different bait. 

Around noon things started to get better, We had a Marlin in front of us and then in our line, Boy that one was big!  but unfortunately... spitted the hook out.  Then, the sound of the reel made us stand up to see what became our trophy… a nice looking dorado!  Yes Ladies and gentleman, after 3 days of hardworking we came back with a 14kg mahi-mahi that won the 2^nd place of the tournament and the jackpot of the day!

It’s an unforgettable experience to be there in the winner´s podium in front everybody knowing that your friends and customers had a great time!

I want to thank Joey Goss from Cheldan Homes in Texas, Poncho Leal and Dean McLane for the opportunity to be part of this amazing experience. Special thanks to Captain Manny and his crew from “El Matador” boat for their dedication and excellent job!

To my girlfriend who I barely saw for almost 5 days J I love you honey!
To my partners at Charly´s sailing and sport fishing, Jonathan and Charly for their support when I was absent from the office having a great time when they were working hard ( It´s true!!!!)

So now you know people, give us the opportunity to be your hosts in the upcoming fishing tournaments and who knows… we might be in the winner’s circle again!

Puerto Vallarta Fishing Report

Hola to all my fishing buddies from beautiful Puerto Vallarta!
We are off to a great start on our prime fishing season. The water temperature is between 83F to 86F and the pacific current is directing itself to our benefit so the warm waters are just right for landing dorado,sailfish,tuna and marlin.
Recently Charly´s team (Juan Carlos, Charly and me Jonathan) went out with captain Nacho approximately 22 to 25 miles out from the marina Vallarta. On our way out we made a quick stop and netted some sardines for the tuna among the big-eyes we already had in the live well. We continued on pass the marietas islands towards "El Morro" island, at first  it was a little slow only landing some Bonitas and then around 1:00pm the fun started with a couple of dorados (mahi-mahi) in the 25lb to 35lb range. We then spotted a couple of stripped marlin but no luck :(   they just seemed not to be on the hungry side so we continued on to the fishing grounds called "el faro" which is just outside the south side of the bay, there... things got interesting. Captain Nacho spotted a nice school of tuna and we quickly got the live-bait and the excitement begun with hookups of 2 tunas at the time landing a total of 9 tunas in the 60lb to 80lb range.
Sad to say we lost one in the 150lb range but..You cant always get them all!
On our way back in, we spotted more marlin but no bites, so I can tell you that the big game fishing is teaming in these waters for marlin, big tuna, dorado and sailfish.
My next trip plan is this Wednesday to La corbeteña and El banco where our captains have reported big blue marlins in the 500lb to 600lb range and tuna in the 100lb to 250lb range which is the great news we have been waiting for, so until the next time... your fishing buddy:
Jonathan.

Hurricane Bud Puerto Vallarta

Good morning!
Its been a while since our last post, we have been through some changes here and there, so I apologize to our readers.
Let´s go straight to the point: Hurricane Bud.
It is amazing how the media blow the things up.  here is an example:

 (CNN America´s website header):

"Hurricane Bud to slam Mexico's southwestern coast"

Come on...  why not like this:  "Hurricane bud is weakening as it gets closer to Mexico´s southwestern coast"

Here is my latest picture (today 8:00am)

Hurricane Bob

That´s how Marina Vallarta looks this morning.

Puerto Vallarta authorities closed schools for the day and we are especting rain during the afternoon and night.
Now.. in other subject...

Fishing is getting better and better!

Tuna,mahi-mahi,sailfish,marlin,jacks,sierras,bonitas and snappers are out there!

Yesterday Aaron Bergman and Captain Hector went to "el Faro" located 24 miles away from Marina Vallarta and came back with a feast of fish!
