Puerto Vallarta fishing Report with Fish In PV
Sportfishing Janurary 18 2008. Hey back at you
with a brand new Puerto Vallarta fishing report well I
said in my last report that the weather was cooling
down but now the Puerto climate is seeing record
lows the fishing has really picked up at the bank this
last week showing life with 40-100 lb yellow fin tuna
100-200 lb striped marlins 100 lb + sailfish and 20-40
lb red snapper! If you want to catch anything over a
100 lbs right now you have to do at least a 10 hour
day. But there is still lots of action on a 6-8 hour day
to el morro or off of the point of punta de mita we
have been catching mahi mahi, red snapper,
roosterfish, mackeral, pompano, and smaller sailfish.

Puerto Vallarta fishing Report March 2nd
2008. Hey whats up everyone. We had a little
change of Weather these last couple days the
mornings are heating up again the water is
getting clearer and south of the bay is full of
action jack's, sierra's and red snapper, the
striped marlin and sailfish have headed north of
sellulyta which is great because last week we
had to go 7 miles west of the bank to find some
bill fish thats about 60 miles offshore. The
average size right now is 130 lbs still a hell of a
fight! We caught and tagged 11 striped marlins
last week we had to keep 3 because there
stomach's got tangled but these last couple days
have been great 2 days ago we went out and
saw about 60 of them jumping around casted out
and had a double hook up with 2 120 pounder's
beautiful fish! the fishing is still good north of the
bank a little bigger in size averaging 130-180 lb
striped marlins sailfish, and also smaller 10-40 lb
yellow fin tuna and mahi mahi averaging 3-5 ft.
all around the fishing is great you can do a short
day and get lots of action a half a day and still get
a billfish or full day to the bank and catch bill fish
and something for dinner. here is a e-mail and
photo from Mickey Foreman who went out with on

Puerto Vallarta fishing report June 5 2008.
well the tides have been shifting and the fish are
all over the place. right off the point has been very
solid this last week with sailfish averaging
70-110-lbs, mahi mahi, and red snapper. It is a
great season when you can go for a short 6 hour
day and still catch a sailfish and something for
dinner. Now if you want to get into some yellow fin
tuna they are little further out you need to hit north
of corbetena or the banks but if you get out there
it's boiling hot there jumping all over the place.
We also spotted a some nice Black marlins last
week also north of corbetena we did not get a bite
but it's a great sign that their out there already and
I bet anyone the first nice rain we get we will be
reeling in those nice 500lb billfish soon after!
that's all for now if you need some more info or a
more recent Puerto Vallarta fishing report please
contact us and we will send you a fresh report and
recent photos of last weeks catch.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report June 19 2008
well it has been wide open this last week
corbetena is still red hot with yellowfin tuna,
smaller blue marlin, sailfish, and mahi mahi. The
tuna have been biting blue and red and white
cedar plugs and sardines. We are also using live
google eyes, black and purple lures we are
hoping to bring in the first big 200+ tuna this
week we caught a 90 lb last week which is the
biggest so far this season but the 10-30 lb
yellowfin are biting every day we have been
averaging 15-25 footballs each trip to corbetena!
The bay has been wide open also with smaller
mahi mahi red snapper, jack crevalle the
occasional sailfish, and smaller 5-15 lb tuna lots
of action either way you go. The weather well it's
definitely getting hot the humidity has gone way
up since we just had a full week of rain but when
the rain falls the water heats up and then we start
to see those 300+ tuna's and 500 + marlins this
last week we brought in a nice 350 lb blue marlin
but have not caught anything over 200 since but I
bet we will dock the first 500+ marlin and 200+
yellowfin tuna before June comes to an end and
they will only get bigger after that. For a more
recent report please contact us and we will send
you a recent report and recent photos of what we
have been catching.

Vallarta fishing Report. November 2nd 2008.
The black marlins have grown rapidly these last
2 weeks in numbers and in size we tagged a 500
+ and 300 + got tangled in the line so we had to
bring it From the bank Sunday what a fish We
were not doing anything to tricky just trolling with
live bait and lures. We also found a nice dirt line
and filled the rest of the day casting for dorado's
and brought home a feast you find the right spot
right now and you can catch as many dorado's as
you can handle and remember Fish In PV
Sportfishing now offer's a freezer service located
right here in the marina so you can bring your
fresh dorado steaks back home if you like! the
cow season has been slow these is normally the
time of the year when everyone is bragging about
the big tuna I caught We have seen 2 300 + cows
and about a 1/2 dozen 200+ this season which is
very rare for Puerto Vallarta but that's fishing.
The bay is full of jack's bonita's smaller Dorado,
Needle fish, and red snapper. so even on a short
day you can get alot of smaller action which is
pretty normal in Puerto Vallarta or go for a half
day off the point Where We have been catching
sailfish, Dorado, and striped marlin for a more

Fishing report: march 19th, 2009 the mantra for
february and march puerto vallarta sportfishing
aboard the sirena was "find the bait&.and you will
find the big game fish following this philosophy,
off-shore trips reaped excellent catches overall.
The seasoned sirena captain, steve torres, was
running out northwest from the bay of banderas,
50-60 minutes off punta mita to the islands. The
best days brought in striped marlin, big mahi and
yellow fin tuna in the 50-70 pound range. A 125
pound, short- fin, mako made for an exciting catch
on a spinning rod at el banco one late afternoon.
Day time temperatures in the low to mid 80s(f)
have brought warm, calm seas with light afternoon
breezes. Bait has been on the surface bringing
the big game to the surface. With water
temperatures getting closer to 80(f) the black and
blue marlin are moving back in the area along
with larger size yellow fin tuna. For off-shore
fishing trips plan a minimum of 10-12 hours with a
6 am departure to get west of el banco for the
best opportunity to catch your prize. Our able first
mate, fredy rodriquez will help you board your big
tuna or mahi or tag& release the bill fish to
preserve the stock. Plan 4-8 hours for an inshore
fishing trip leaving the dock by 7am to get to
smaller tuna's rooster fish, spanish mackerel,
jacks and red snappers reeled in just off punta
mita and its coves. Humpback whales are leaving
on their northward migration highway but there are
still plenty of dolphins, sea turtles and mantas
answering natures call in the bay. A day of fishing
is the prescription for a bad economy;a day to just
8220;forget about it! Remember the summer
months are prime big game fishing time for giant
tuna and bill fish so get down here and catch your
puerto vallarta game fish. Click here for more info

fishing trip leaving the dock by 7am to get to
smaller tuna's rooster fish, spanish mackerel,
jacks and red snappers reeled in just off punta
mita and its coves. Humpback whales are leaving
on their northward migration highway but there are
still plenty of dolphins, sea turtles and mantas
answering natures call in the bay. A day of fishing
is the prescription for a bad economy;a day to just
8220;forget about it! Remember the summer
months are prime big game fishing time for giant
tuna and bill fish so get down here and catch your
puerto vallarta game fish. Click here for more info

Puerto Vallarta fishing report: BY DAN GILMARTIN
Puerto Vallarta fishing report 4/10/09 We went out
for a short day on the sirena yesterday just to
catch some dinner We heard there was a huge
school of dorado's/mahi mahi a little north of the
point so we heading out around 7 am We
reached the fishing grounds about 8 am and there
were Dorado's jumping all over the place not to
big in size but We were not looking for size
yesterday just some tender meat so we starting
jigging and casting live bait and one after another
boated about 20 Dorado all about 10-20 lbs after
that we made some fresh ceviche then heading to
shore for a mahi barbecue. The striped marlins
and sailfish are still hitting hard north of the bank
the marlins are averaging 100-175 lbs and the
sailfish are averaging 80-120 lbs. Inside the bay
there are lots of jack crevalle, grouper, and
rooster fish. So if you want to catch big game fish
you need a 10-12 hour day on 8 hour day you can
catch as many Dorado's as you can handle and
the shorter day in the bay You will get lots of
action. but the big season is coming and those
cow tuna's and big marlin will be here in June! for

Sailfish Frenzy! We took out Bobby, Charles,
Mike, and Keith yesterday on the 2006 luhrs, the
Sirena With Captain Steve and crew Freddy and
Marcos. What a day right when We got around
the point of Punta de mita We spotted a nice
sailfish Marcos ran to the front of the boat casted
out some live bait and boom We had a sailfish
on Keith was first and did a great job reelled in a
nice 100 lb sailfish in about 15 minutes next we
found a nice school of dorado feeding off a small
tree branch floating about 10 miles north of the
point We caught 4 back to back enough to make
some fresh ceviche for lunch then We decided to
go and catch some more sailfish! We started
heading further north by guayabitos but the
conditions were so nice the water was like a lake
You could see for miles about a 30 minutes later
Captain Steve saw a couple sailfish sun bathing
about a 2 miles away from us he speeded up the
Sirena and 2 seconds later we were right on top
of them but could not get a bite on 50 lb test so
We tried with a 40 and boom the bigger sailfish
hit and hit it hard within seconds You could see
this beautiful fish fighting and jumping about 20
yards from the boat what a show! Mike nailed it
though reeling in this 98 inch sailfish like a true
pro it only took him 20 minutes to land it which is
not so easy on 40 lb test. We kept trolling north
following the birds and dolphins keeping a look
out for sailfish as we were trolling a nice striped
marlin hit a lure Captain Steve hit the throttle and
hooked a nice striped marlin about 120 lbs. After
that it was slow We did not see anything but
dolphins for a couple hours then just like that We
spotted about 5 sailfish jumping and swimming
Marcos hooked another one this one was bigger
then the first 2 though a nice female about 130
lbs after that we spotted a school of jacks picked
up a nice triple hook up and then called it a day.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report Aug/7/09 as
the weather heats up here in Puerto Vallarta the
fishing conditions could not get any better the
seas are calm, warm and blue, corbetena and
the bank are hot with smaller tuna in the 60-100
lb range we are still waiting to see a tuna bigger
then 200 lbs but I bet it will happen before the
tournament that will be held on the 13th, this is
the time of the year when fishing is good for
everyone the professional anglers looking for a
trophy and the beginners that just want a billfish
or something with some size, El morro a big
reef 22 miles offshore has been hot with
roosterfish sailfish, and mahi mahi, we even
caught a nice sailfish about 3 miles off the point
last week so inshore fishing is definitely worth it
this time of the year, especially if you like fly
fishing rooster, mahi, and sails is a fly fishing
favorite in Puerto Vallarta, deeper offshore the
bigger blue marlins are still hitting the average
blue has been 200-350 with one 440 lb caught
last month on the sirena, there has also been
word of bigger black marlins but none have
been caught yet until next time tight lines.

Puerto Vallarta fishing Janurary -1-2010
Captain Steve Torres has been putting the boat out
daily for extreme offshore hookups of Sailfish, Blue
and Black Marlin and more Yellowfin than you can
hold in your coolers. Hooked and Released this past
week were a 650 lb. Blue and a 700 lb Black Marlin.
At El Banco, the tuna catch has been off the hook in
the 50-250 lb. range. A real nice Alice Tuna weighing
240 lbs was caught by angler, Dan Gentles from New
Jersey , Christmas Week. Don’t see those too often!
There is plenty of Dorado/Mahi for the taking in a
wide range of weights- more than enough to make a
good day of fishing. Inshore, you can usually hook up
Roosters, Toros (Jack Cravelle), Bonita, Spanish
Mackerel, Snappers and Skippies. The tuna have
been sticking around due to cooler water temps this
season. El Nino or climate change- don’t know but it
makes for great fishing days this month!
On December 18-19, boat Owner Dan Gilmartin; son,
Cory Gilmartin; and Dan Gentles took an overnight
trip to El Banco from the dock at Paradise Village,
Nuevo Vallarta. After hooking up bait of Skipjack and
Bullet Tuna in the Bay of Banderas we were off to
chase the Yellowfin at El Banco. Arriving at 8:30am,
they began the slow troll. By 9:00 am we had the first
Yellowfin strike and reeled in a 90 pounder. By the
end of a crazy day we hauled in 9 Yellowfin Tuna with
a total weight of 640 pounds! This was a Top Ten
Day for Captain Steve and First Mate, Freddie on the
Sirena. The catch had to be unloaded at Punta Mita
by 11:00pm so the boat would have room for more!
By 4:30am, Sirena was fast trolling lures and brought
up a Marlin by the time we hit El Banco. A beautiful
sunrise and perfect bay weather presaged another
perfect day. Lots of birds working north landed us
right in Tuna territory. The Bullet Tuna bait worked
best and by 2:00pm another 14 Yellowfin Tuna were
boated. Dan Gentles was renamed “THE TUNA-
NATOR” by the crew! He landed 80% of the catch, all
standing up, with the hat-trick, 245lb Alice Tuna --the
last hook-up of the day on the way in. Folks, that’s
1,400 pounds for 23 tuna caught in two days! This
trip was TEAM WORK at its best!
The experienced team of Captain Steve and First
Mate Freddie are a wonder to watch in action. It’s a
well orchestrated show from running the boat, finding
the fish, handing the rods off, and boating the catch.
Remember that memories of a Great Fishing Trip for

Yellowfin tuna are still boiling but way out past the

but you need a full day 60 70 miles offshore but if you
hard core tuna angler it is definetly worth it. The
Billfishing is incredible this time of the year even
though the bigger Black marlins are not here right now
the smaller 100-250 lb Blue marlins and the 100-200

Captain Steve Torres does it again
catching a huge black Marlin in March!
Every Angler in Puerto Vallarta is asking
themselfes have the big Puerto Vallarta
fish arrived early? It would not be a
surprise with late tuna bite still boiling at
El Banco and a now this huge black
Marlin caught at el morro that this is
definitely going to be a interesting
Puerto Vallarta sportfishing season.
The guys heading out a little after 7 am
for a short 6 hr day we went in between
the rocks at Islas marrietas and El morro
fishing for Jack Crevalle and Roosterfish,
when captain Steve Spotted a big fin
popping out of the water he trolled to the
direction where he had saw the fin going
and boom around 9:30 am We had a
big hook up! which ending up being
almost a 6 hour fight with a 638 lb Black
Marlin! The Marlin bit a live bait bullet
tuna on a Tiburon 30 Reel and Calstar 58
graphite Rod at El Morro. If that is not a
test for fishing gear I don't know what is?
After the hook up first on the reel was
client Gennelly Wall She put up a good
fight for about an hour then passed the
rod along to Tomas Pisker. " the Marlin
was jumping and diving I was tired out"
Tomas put up great fight for 2 hours then
it was up to the crew 2 hours later the
marlin took its final leap and was tangled
in the line so we had to pull him in total
time 5 1/2 hours on a Tiburon 30 reel
aboard the Ana Maria Cabo Yacht.

Marlin and tuna Bite, We had
a nice storm over the weekend
that really broke the black
Marlin season wide open the
boys aboard the Ana Maria
relased 4 blacks and boated
one 700+ last week, including
having a triple crown day at El
banco Angler Bradd Owings
caught 1 Striped Marlin, 1
Blue Marlin and the king a 750
+ Black Marlin see in the
photo trying to make final run
for it. show me more photos
Corbetena has been the hot
spot for Striped Marlin it is
very late in season for Stripers
and they are bigger then
normal I would say the
average Striped Marlin in PV
is 120-150 lbs all the ones I
saw last week were around
180 +. The YFT seemed to be
gaining size as well I saw a
handfull last week over 150
and a lot of smaller footballs
30-50 lb range it is a great
time of the year to fishing in
PV You expect light rain early
in the morning on the way out
to the fishing grounds this time
of the year but the way last
week went it is definetly worth
it.

For years I've had the dream of
catching a 200+lb Cow, but never
dreamed that I would catch a
200+ lber and a 300+ lber in the
same trip!

Captain Steve Torres and Crew
Freddy and Javier on the Ana
Maria
Day 1
Met Capt and crew at the
lighthouse at 0600, did the meet
and greet thing, got food, fuel,
bait and on our way. Hit the rock,
made bait rather quickly and lines
in the water just as fast as the
bait was coming in.
About 0920, and raining like
heck, the first bite was on. Our
son Eric was in the driver's seat
and it was "game on" for the next
hour on a 200+ pound Blue. After
that, things went cold for a couple
hours when the next bite was on.

The battle didn't last long, because the hook either pulled, or the fish spit it out. I just know that it had some real

The crew of Ian, his son
Allister, Scott, and myself met
at the marina around 4:45 AM
last Thursday. Captain Freddy
and his crew were already
working, procuring some bait
for the day. We jumped on
board and shoved off from the
marina around 5:20.
We were told that the water at
El Banco wasn't fishable right
now (cloudy and no bait), so
we headed to La Corbetena.
We get to the rock at sunrise,
and we start by pulling a
spread of plastics. Not even 5
minutes after we put the
spread out, the port flat pops.
In the distance, we see a black
marlin tail walking. I grab the
rod and jump in the chair, and
line continues to dump from
the Tiburon 50w.
They use a mono top shot and pack the reel with braid underneath and the fish quickly had us to the braid. The fish went
deep for about 30 minutes and then surfaced for two jumps...it then went deep again. The last 20 minutes or so was a
constant give and take...the fish took line whenever it wanted it seemed. I finally brought her to the boat after about a 50
minute fight. She measured 134 inches from the bill to the tail...(didn't get a measurement from the fork of the tail to the jaw,
unfortunately). The captain estimated her at 500lbs. Tell me More

Tournament Report with PV
Sportfishing July/30th
Lots of fish just not to big, with over
60 boats competing this year there
was only 1 marlin that qualified in all
3 days of the tournament, But that’s
fishing you never know when the big
Marlin is going to bite.
Day 1 Great conditions blue flat
seas but we were having trouble
finding the bigger skippies we
wanted for a big Marlin sure you
can catch big Marlin with smaller
bait but you will have much better
luck with bigger baits. Steve Torres
hooked up a nice Blue Marlin
around 1pm but not quite a qualifier
but still a nice fish so Freddy
released her and that was about it
for day 1. Day 2
We had much better luck in the
morning caught 8 big skippies right
off the bat click here to read full

Fished again this year with
Steve and Freddy on the Ana
Maria.
BLUF: Feeling like the second
luckiest guy in Vallarta - caught a
couple cows last year and this
year it was a 622lb Blue Marlin
with Steve and Freddy's help.
Met Capt Steve, Freddy, and our
new amigo Joel at the light
house at 0600. Then it was off to
the rock.
Made it to Corbetena about
0800ish to find poor weather,
more logs and stumps in the
water than you can shake a stick
at (ha ha), and off-colored
water.......BUT, read full report
