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...

After many weeks into the winter season fishing in Puerto Vallarta, we're still seeing plentiful amounts of summer species - if you're in the right place at the right time. El Niño this year has really messed around with our seasonal fishing calendar. Species you would never expect to be...

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...

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...

Every week now, I seem to be the biggest pessimist in the area. I keep thinking the fishing is going to turn and I'm sending people out 'hoping' they catch fish. Then my crews send me pictures, and I turn into an optimist. So, I give up; the fishing...

It seems like we've been in the 'endless summer' as summer species like Dorado, Sailfish, Striped Marlin, and Yellowfin Tuna are still hanging around. Right now, the fishing in Puerto Vallarta is surprisingly great! The farther out you go, the better your chances to boat that fantasy fish in...

We are heading into late January, and you'd almost think it was late November fishing. With water temperatures hovering at 73 degrees, the 'clean green' water suddenly returns.  Clean green water usually isn't a Dorado's best friend, but if there's bait in the water, minor things like water temperatures are...
