The Offshore Yellowfin Tuna
grounds have been red hot this
last week 80+ miles offshore we
have had several succesful
overnight tuna fishing charters
catching Tuna between 80-250
lbs. On Regular day trips to
Corbetena we had a few days
with smaller tuna 20-40 lbs and
Striped Marlin biting down the
coast by san Pancho. Inside
banderas we have been
catching see full Puerto Vallarta fishing report March 2018
We did a 12 hour charter with Capt Victor and Ramon and had the best day. I told them I wanted to catch big fish and they worked really hard to make sure that happened. We landed a VERY nice tuna and really enjoyed our day on the boat. From the communication leading up to the trip to the crew and the boat we couldn't ask for more. I would highly recommend PV Sportfishing.
(We did a 12 hour charter on the 29 ft Super Panga in March 2016)
Puerto Vallarta Marlin fishing, every big anglers dream is to encounter and catch a huge Blue or Black Marlin and the Puerto Vallarta
fishing grounds is a summer home for these beasts the average Black Marlin size in Puerto

lbs. The Tournament Record was broken by our Captain, Steve Torres in 2007 July's Tuna and Marlin Tournament held in
La Cruz Marina in Nayarit the new record for banderas bay was set 322 kilos

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. PV Sportfishing
encourages and supports catch and release with all Billfish We do fish Marlin tournaments that you can see from all the Marlin
photos but on regular day's other then Marlin tournaments captain Steve catches and releases 90% of the Billfish. Puerto
Vallarta fishing is blessed as 1 of the best Marlin fishing grounds in the world and We want to keep it that way.
We fish for Marlin with live bait Bonita's Skip Jacks, other types of tuna and BB lures, trolling with 6 lines and 2 to 4
teasers.Tiburon Reels equipped with Diamond line, Flouro Carbon leader, and Mustad hooks,
