Why May is Prime Time for Fishing in Nuevo Vallarta
Thanks to warming waters and migrating game fish, May is one of the best months for fishing in Nuevo Vallarta. Here’s what’s biting:
1. Blue Marlin & Black Marlin
The marlin bite heats up as water temperatures rise. These acrobatic giants are found near underwater structures like El Banco and Corbeteña, where baitfish congregate.
2. Yellowfin Tuna
Schools of yellowfin tuna are growing in size, offering explosive action. We target them using live bait and chunking techniques around deep-water pinnacles.
3. Dorado (Mahi-Mahi)
Known for their vibrant colors and aerial fights, dorado are abundant near floating debris and weed lines. May is one of the best months to hook these speedsters.
4. Wahoo
If you love high-speed strikes, wahoo are a must-catch. We find them patrolling temperature breaks and drop-offs.
5. Roosterfish
Inshore anglers can test their skills against roosterfish, one of the hardest-fighting coastal species. Rocky shorelines and bait-rich areas are prime spots.
