Check our latest 1st place Marlin video's Big Marlins love warm water between 80-87 degrees in the middle of the ocean this is what makes Puerto Vallarta such a great feeding ground there are 2 hot spots for Marlin 36 miles from the Marina Vallarta a rock named Corbetena, and 50 miles offshore is the Bank these are the 2 places where all the bigger Puerto Vallarta Sportfish are caught. The Bank or El Banco is basically huge under water island where the seas can go from 1,000 to 200 ft in seconds.
