Nuevo Vallarta fishing report September

This September’s Nuevo Vallarta fishing update began with a continuation of the fishing trends observed last month. The abundance of marlin, sailfish, and mahi-mahi are once again making their presence felt in our fishing grounds inshore and offshore. The weather has remained ideal, marked by a few offshore storms. Many anglers may not be aware that September is one of Nuevo Vallarta’s prime fishing months. This is due to a combination of factors. First, the reduced number of visitors as schools has resumed in both the United States and Mexico. Second, the increased influx of bait into our bay and offshore fishing hot spots. As my fishing reports consistently emphasize, tracking the bait trail is key; being on top of the bait ensures success in catching fish here in Mexico. Another factor is the continuation of longer summer days, with the sun rising at 6:30 AM and setting around 7:30 PM in September. This extended daylight provides ample time to pursue various types of fish. Dorados, sailfish, marlin, tuna, and other game fish thrive in the bay of Nuevo Vallarta during this month. Now, let’s dive into our September fishing locations. read more

Nuevo Vallarta fishing report June 2023

Let’s take a look at the June fishing report for Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. This report has the most changes of any fishing report we do all year long. If you want to know why please read on. The first big change is the weather. June 15th. is when the rainy season starts and lasts until October 15 th. Some folks think the rains are bad. It’s just the opposite. The rains we received late in the evenings almost every day have a profound effect on fishing. Often, rains bring pelagic fish and bait into our bay. I also tell clients that if you find bait movement you will find fish. Some days we will receive heavy rains. The causes a flooding affect our numerous rivers emptying all kinds of debris into the bay. The sailfish,mah-mahi and even marlin like to hunt on these trash lines we call them. There will be a distinct line in the water where one side will be dark blue and the other side will be off-colored. There is no doubt that pelagic fish love to hunt the conditions of the water. Live bait slowed trolled is one of the best methods. With heavy rains, it is not uncommon to see huge trees, small islands ,and just about anything you can imagine floating in the bay. These serve as excellent places to fish and score some dorados, sailfish, tuna, and all kinds of small game right here in the bay. The offshore fishing action heats up about as hot as the Texas weather in the summer months here in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. There is fantastic fishing in the bay, but if you want huge marlin and tuna you will need to venture offshore. With the rainy season coming and the summer months around the corner, there is only one thing. The big fish will be here for the taking. To mention a few of our favorite fishing spots: Morro, El Banco, and La Corbetena. These honey holes are perfect for fantastic marlin,tuna, mahi-mahi and sailfish. They may be farther away, but they are well worth the ride out to these fishing grounds. Nothing like the feeling of dropping a ten-pound bait off one of our Avet 2-speed fishing reels with almost a mile of line on it. Then waiting for the big one to hit first thing in the morning. In the summer, especially in June, there are many ways to fish here. For marlin, sailfish, and mahi-mahi we love to run some of our top water fast-speed lures first. These lures can be run with some natural baits as well. While fast trolling, we often see marlin, dorados, or sailfish come into our spread and look at all the baits, but not one. This is a good time to deploy live baits. The three rules of deep-sea fishing in Nuevo Vallarta are Live bait, clear water, and bait movement. When you have three you will be on the fish. Every summer, I receive a thousand calls asking about our weather. Our fishing clients will look on Google Weather and think it’s going to rain all day. Nuevo Vallarta rarely rains, mostly in the evenings. In the morning, it may look overcast but nine times out of ten it always clears up for an exceptional day of fishing. Before any of our boats leave the dock, I check the weather for all our clients. After 36 years of fishing here and no accidents, our record speaks for itself.

Nuevo Vallarta fishing report for May 2023

Here in the bay of Nuevo Vallarta when the water temperature gets to 78 degrees the fish move into the bay following all kinds of bait. Just to mention a few are mullet, goggle-eye, ballyhoo, shad, and some larger bait used for offshore fishing. To get the most out of your Nuevo Vallarta fishing trip be sure and have the proper fishing rigs. We like to set up for several kinds of fishing action before heading out to the close fishing spots. There will be numerous chances at casting as during this time of the season as we are more likely to see schooling fish than not. This type of fishing is enjoyable for all fishing anglers who can cast. There will be many chances of live baiting here in the bay and offshore. The fun thing I like about live baiting is never knowing what you are going to catch. Once we set out live bait you just don’t know what might strike the line. There will be sailfish, yellowtail, tuna, mahi-mahi, roosterfish, and many more pelagic fish during the month of May. We love to rig up some of the light tackle for bay fishing and keep a couple of larger rods and reels ready for when the big game fish show up. Trolling and jigging are fun ways to fish here in the bay. The Nuevo Vallarta area is fantastic for bottom fishing as well. There is a huge river that feeds into our bay with fresh water. This has the effect to attract all kinds of bottom fish. We don’t do a lot of bottom fishing as most fishermen want to troll for a big game. We are more than happy to do both if anglers will let us know in advance. read more
