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 Bud

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!

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!
your fishing buddy:
Jonathan
