Those who read my articles regularly will notice that this report is being published a little later than usual. When it comes to fishing in Puerto Vallarta, we’re just now getting into the beginning of the fishing tournament season. I was hoping with more boats heading out, I could paint...

You know, every few years we go through the "Niño's." This means we're going 'into' or 'out of' a La Niña or an El Niño. We all know this condition, but we usually don't see this change in the middle of summer! This makes this very strange as we move...

After writing articles for the last twenty-something years, I have to say the conditions we're looking at now are far from ordinary. With relatively cool water temperatures, strange currents, strange wind patterns and even stranger fishing, nothing is predictable right now. We should be moving into a summer fishing...

After over twenty years of writing this article, I decided to take some time off, travel a little, and recharge my batteries. I didn't feel too guilty since this past month is considered the worst month (May) to do any business. Another was that the fishing goes straight into...

El Niño has given us all here fishing in Puerto Vallarta a real gift. We've seen Dorado into late April, we're still seeing Striped Marlin, and up until just a few days ago, we've had great Yellowfin Tuna action.  Water temperatures have remained relatively high throughout the entire winter fishing season as we...

Every year around this time, we see the beginning of the spring rollercoaster when it comes to fishing in Puerto Vallarta. This year, we're seeing fluctuating water temperatures and clashing currents. Oddly enough, the El Niño conditions just complicate things with summer species in the middle of winter. Now,...

Puerto Vallarta's extended fishing season continues, as we are still boating 60- to 80-lb Yellowfin Tuna all over the El Banco area. That's great news, but the simple fact is that Puerto Vallarta fishing goes through the seasons just like all the other fish locations worldwide. We've been fortunate...

You know, we’ve been in this El Niño rollercoaster for many months now. Which, by the way, followed a La Niña stretch of about two years. To say that the present current situations, water temperatures, and species specifics are confusing would be an understatement. To be boating (catching) schooling...

As we enter March, we're still seeing summer season species in cold water. This is the sort of thing that happens in an El Niño year. Naturally, if you're looking at the calendar, you'd be saying, 'This shouldn't be happening.' But strangely enough, it is happening, and we're not...
