Puerto Vallarta fishing report July. The fishing report starts off with some exciting news just before July of 4th. There’ll be many big celebrations here in Nuevo Vallarta along with big fish to go with it.
We’ll start with the hot inshore action. Bay fishing has produced many yellowtail, skipjack tuna, roosterfish, snapper, and mahi-mahi all over. Where have we been catching all these fish? Some of the hot spots have been Nuevo Vallarta, Palo Verde,Bucerias Los Arcos and the middle of the bay. Most of these inshore fishing trips have been of the 6 hrs choice. Some of the shorter bay fishing trios have produced good numbers of mahi-mahi and skipjack tuna. There have many days when we caught the fish schooling in the bay and it turned into nonstop action.
What has been the best method for fishing inshore? Here are a couple of our top performers. The Rapala coupled with some small jigs has been working incredibly well. With this set up you can Sometimes land 3 or 4 fish at the same time. It doesn’t take long to have a boatload of fish when you are catching them three at a time. Sight casting has worked all week long and should hold strong all summer. Bring your favorite casting rig or use one of ours for some fun catching fish here in Mexico. Cut bait works extremely well around some of the buoys that have been holding mahi-mahi. Once you get on of these action-packed fish they with keep biting until you run out of fresh cut bait. This if a fantastic way to catch and land some of the fast feeding fish. Last but not least is out favorite fallback method. Live bait. In the summer months we love to use goggle eye. These baits work well inshore and offshore. The marlin,tuna,mahi-mahi, sailfish, and yellowtail can’t resist these baits. Nothing works better when the sardines show up than a couple of scoops of sardines thrown in the water to bring up all kinds of pelagic fish for live baiting. When all else fails, we use our troll with natural baits and lures. This seems to work well inshore and especially offshore. As most of our repeat clients know we love the Black Bart lures.. Let’s take a look at offshore fishing in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.
Deep sea fishing in Nuevo Vallarta is always good in July. The waters have warmed up to some nice numbers. Offshore waters temperatures are ranging from 84 degrees to 87 degrees. These temperatures are conducive for marlin,dorado-mahi,tuna and the fastest fish on the Pacific Ocean the sailfish. Most of these pelagic fish are caught around thermoclines and crystal clear waters we see offshore every day.
The bait movement is critical for fishing tuna and sailfish. I always say if you find the bait you will find the fish.
The best bet for offshore fishing is 8 hrs to 12 hrs. The more time on the water the better odds you have of hooking that wall hanger or fish of your dreams.
The hotspots will be out by Punta Mita,Marieta Islands, El Morro,Corbetena and El Banco. Some of the top places to fish in the world for big fish or a fun day.
Come down and join us for a spectacular day or fishing here in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, where the friendliest people in the world live and play.
Remember money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a fishing trip from us and that’s about the same thing

WHAT WE ARE CATCHING NOW
Right now there are marlin, tuna, sailfish, and Dorados here in Puerto Vallarta fishing. Last week the tuna was at the banco ( 50 miles offshore ) and you need to plan on a 12 hr. trip to catch these. The marlin was hanging around the Corbetena which is a 10 hr. trip but can turn into a 12 hr trip depending on the action.
Some folks just don’t want to leave when they see all the action the fishing spot has to offer. The large bonitas ( 5 to 10 lbs. ) we use for the big tuna and marlin work really well for pargos around the rocks at Corbetena and Banco. A simple slow drift with whole or Bonita works best. If we have live bonitas we will put them down first.
The sailfish have been in and outside the bay the last few days. These trips can be done in 8 hrs. The best bet is to work the chlorophyll break line where we know the blue water meets the slightly off-color water, works great for catching the dorados ( mahi-mahi dolphin ) as well.
The inshore fishing has been a mixed bag. Some days finding mahi-mahi and sails in the bay and just outside. The jack crevalle is schooling in and just outside the bay. These trips can be done in 4 to 6 hrs. The pargos and roosterfish are showing up in good numbers here in Puerto Vallarta fishing report.
