Puerto Vallarta fishing report August 2017
We have seen alot of rain this month which is normal for August the rain has been falling in early morning and late afternoons but normally only for about 30 minutes. So if its predicting cloudy weather the day of your trip do not worry about it. Unless it is dangerous it is only going to help the fishing and you most likely will only see rain on the way out to the fishing grounds. OK now back to fishing August has been a up and down month but seems to have gotten better as the month reached its end. The offshore bite has been consistent in the sense we have been catching alot of fish but every day seems to be different species of fish. We have been catching Cubera Snapper, Yellowfin Tuna, Blue Marlin, Sharks, and Sailfish offshore on 10-12 hour charters.

Puerto Vallarta fishing report July 2015
Marlin, Sharks, and Sailfish It has been a great month of fishing every day seemed a little different offshore We were never sure what We would catch but every day seemed to pruduce Marlin, Sailfish, Shark, Tuna or Dorado. surpisingly the last week the consitent bite was Sharks. The My Marlin has been going offshore 35-50 miles daily and having big hook ups they caught a big Blue Marlin yesterday July 24 fishing about 6 miles outside of Corbetena as well as a Shark and a Sailfish. Earlier in the week nailed a big Dorado, couple of Yellowfin Tuna, and alot of Sailfish. We also had some big waves during the middle of the month thanks to the Hurracaine other then the one day We had take off made for great fishing the rest of the week angler from the UK Philip Mathias caught a nice 300 lb Blue Marlin as well Sharks, in the rough Waters see in photo below we normally like to release all Billfish but this Marlin choked on big live bait and died quick came into the boat belly up so there was no reviving this one but all the meat was giving to local families and I'm sure was enjoyed at a few different babecues so nothing went to waste. Inshore fishing has really slowed down there is still alot of Bonitas, and Jacks to be caught with a few smaller Dorado here and there but other then that if you want to catch someting over 10 lbs offshore fishing is where it is at.
