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,

Jonathan

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

Your fishing buddy Jonathan & Charly´s team.

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...
