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...
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...
Normally, when I write my weekly fishing reports, I'm careful not to be too optimistic. This past week was much better than my 'pessimistic' outlook.
I was expecting the warm water species to move out as we see winter species moving in.
What is actually happening is the winter species...
Well, here we are again, looking at the seasonal fishing reversals as winter species are moving in and our summer species of Dorado and Sailfish continue to linger.\ With massive amounts of bait in the water, including the dominant Krill or Whale food, the fishing is still great. We're...
Welcome to my first fishing report of the New Year! And how better to start a new year with a new beginning at El Banco, so to speak. Yes, folks, El Banco or The Bank is showing signs of life, and it has a strong heartbeat for the moment....
The end of the summer fishing season is upon us. But there is still time for those late to the game. Surprisingly, Dorado remains in the bay. Sailfish are still taking bait, Striped Marlin are moving in, and the winter fishing season is coming on strong. Soon, fishing in...
