April fishing in Nuevo Vallarta Mexicore you

For the anglers that have visited here in April, you already know the fishing is excellent during this month. Let’s take a look at what we will be fishing for during the start of spring break in Nuevo Vallarta. The marlin will be here and the larger schools will be mostly offshore.  The Blue marlin moves into our fishing grounds around this time of the year.  We have more striped marlin than blue marlin.  Some black marlin but this depends on the water temperature. The striped marlin is like the cooler water so we always keep an eye on the water temperatures and where the larger baits are schooling.  There will be some mahi-mahi action mixed with the marlin action and always fun to catch. The dorados as they are called here in Mexico are some of the best eating you can find in the world.

Around the reefs and a few spots we have marked here on our GPS there will be the amberjack, grouper, snapper, bottom fish, and the always schooling yellowtail. We love to try jigging, use cut bait, lures, and the all-time favorite live baiting on these fantastic fishing places here close to Nuevo Vallarta. There are few days that the fish will not bite here at these famous places we fish in April.  The only problem we encounter is when we have strong currents. In April the sea is usually flat with no weather issues. One of the frequent questions I get every day is “is it going to be rough out there? ”  April brings lots of sunshine, flat seas, and good fishing.

The good thing about fishing in Nuevo Vallarta in April is you are not limited to one or two species of fish. We have many different kinds of fish and offshore/inshore fishing depending on how much time you want to spend here in our fishing mecca.

When February rolls around here in Nuevo Vallarta I always like to look back and see what we’ve done over these last few winter months. December was full of rod-bending action with fantastic weather and we had pretty much the same in January. The pelagic fish definitely have hung around this winter. We had temperatures get down to about 63 degrees early in the morning and then get up to a perfect 76 in the afternoon. I still laugh sometimes driving to work and see all my friends and neighbor’s in jackets with 63 degrees weather. We’ve been seeing these temperatures for the last couple of weeks and we’ll see him the same in February. Let’s take a look at what we’ve been catching here in Nuevo Vallarta over these last few winter months and what we can expect to catch in February.mahi-mahi fishing nuevo vallarta

This February we will see some warm fishing, water (76 degrees) which is why we have held by the mahi- mahi and sailfish here in the area. We’ve had fantastic success with our eight-hour fishing charters offshore. The water has cooled down slightly and that slowed the blue and the black Marlin action, but has brought a tenfold in the striped Marlin. So if you’re coming in February which is a fantastic month to be here for fishing, snorkeling, just getting out and about in the city, whale watching, and sightseeing. This is one of the best months to be here. We’ve been seeing more and more baitfish show up. Like the skipjack tuna, google eye, Spanish mackerel, mahi -mahi, some roosterfish and a few of sailfish.  This means only one thing. Game on the and the fishing will be good to steady action here inshore and offshore.

 

If you’re coming down and fishing with us in February be sure to make a reservation in advance as we are extremely booked up during these winter months. Many of fishermen get tired of shoveling that snow up north and want a break. Everyone’s everyone wants to be here to enjoy this perfect weather and excellent fishing. This is the perfect time to come out with this for some Bay fishing.  The Bay fishing has just been off the charts some days we cannot keep the California Bonita which is fantastic to eat along with those Spanish mackerel off the hook.  It’s been a great winter and we’ll have these same conditions all the way up into March. March we’ll see some more winds but not enough to bother the Bay fishing. If you’re looking for a fun trip for the family the Bay fishing could be exactly what you need for a 4-6 hour trip. Take a look here and you’ll be able to see some of the prices and some of the boats that we offer for Bay fishing.

Happy new year from Nuevo Vallarta fishing report for our January action. Curious to see what we have been catching and what the fishing report will be for 2023 looks like in Nuevo Vallarta then keep on reading here. We had an unbelievable Christmas with mahi-mahi, action, sailfish, yellowtail, Spanish mackerel, roosterfish, and some snapper. Do you want to know how and where we were catching the best-eating fish? Look no further as we have the info here to share with you.

Marlin fishing nuevo vallarta January 2023

The winter fishing here in Nuevo Vallarta has had some hot days of fishing with cool mornings to start with. The weather in the winter here is something to look forward to.  The mornings are around 65 degrees and warm up to 79 degrees.   This makes for ideal conditions for fishing here in Mexico.  The Pacifico ocean often cools down some here in the winter months like January.  The locals and Captains refer to this cold water, but the temperature is always around 78 to 65 degrees. Most anglers would love to have these kinds of conditions back home. I know most folks up north have already winterized their boats and stored their fishing gear away for the season.  Here in Nuevo Vallarta, we are just getting started. 

 See our best prices for Nuevo Vallarta fishing

With the cooling of the water, some of the pelagic fish move from the fishing place to the fishing place or offshore farther.  The big blue and black marlin like the water to be a little bit warmer. Some move offshore to different areas. This does not mean we won’t catch them, it’s just less of them around to catch.  The sailfish, mahi-mahi,tuna, and yellowtail will be here for some rod-bending action offshore.  The amberjack will move in about the time the roosterfish show up this month.  We already see some of these fish show up in good numbers.  Nothing like catching amberjack or roosterfish on a big 5 lbs Bonita. The roosterfish and amberjack like the reef areas and can’t stay away from the live bait we use to land these huge fish.  One of the tricks we use for roosterfish is a large Spanish mackerel as a teaser on a short line behind the stern of the bost. This brings them up to our live bait. Then hold on for dear life when they hit the line.  There big fish can go well over a 100 lbs.

 

In the month of January, we have schools and schools of sardines showing up all over the bay and offshore this helps our inshore and offshore fishing tremendously.  There are days when we find and fish around the huge bait balls and we will catch fish until it feels like our arm is going to fall off.  When the bait is around the fish start feeding and you can catch them on just about anything.  The next few months we remain the same with more and more bait coming into our bay.  The offshore fishing is a little different and we usually toll for the striped marlin that loves the cooler water temperatures.  These huge pelagic fish roam offshore but are often found in the bay looking for big schools of sardines or bait balls.

When trolling offshore we always like a couple of live baits ready.  We call the bait google eye.  Many times during the trip we will see a Dorado, sailfish or striped marlin finning on the surface.  This is when they are most active and feed during the tide changes. If we see them finning on the surface, they will 90 % of the time hit the live bait on our 2 speed avet spinning gear loaded with 150 yards of mono line backed with 400 yards of spectra line. You will need all this line when these marlin get hooked.  They can make a run of several hundred yards in just a few seconds.  So when your are out there on one of our inshore or offshore trips keep an eye out for that fin in the water. This could turn a good day into an extraordinary day.

The inshore fishing for the month of January will be good for the troll, jigging, bottom fish and of course live baiting. We watch the conditions daily for temp changes, water clarity, and bait movement.  I always tell our clients if they find the bait you will find the fish.

The fast-feeding yellowtail, good-eating Spanish mackerel, California bonitas and snapper will be here for the taking for those who venture out on one of our 6 hrs trips here in the bay.  If you are looking for a fun trip fishing in the bay and want to catch a lot of fish this is the trip for you.nuevo vallarta whale watching

There is a big bonus coming to Nuevo Vallarta in the winter months.  Not only do we have fantastic fishing, perfect weather, beautiful beaches, and incredible restaurants we also have humpback whales show up. Imagine hooking up a huge fish and then looking over and seeing a 20-ton 40-foot-long whale right beside your boat. Can’t believe it?? Happens almost every day.  

So please come down and enjoy this winter wonderland we call home 

 Merry Fishmas and Happy New year

The Nuevo Vallarta fishing report starts off with some major changes this month. First is the cooling weather and some water temperature changes In the bay and offshore. We had incredible fishing temperatures in November to fish off of. The temperatures were around 78 degrees. Since the temperatures had dropped a few degrees inshore and offshore fishing. We have had to rethink our fishing places and plans.  Such as switching lures, running different baits, and changing some of the fishing spots we like in the winter months.  The water never gets really cold here in the Bay of Nuevo Vallarta or offshore. But it does have an effect on our fishing and the way that we fish during the winter months. Let’s take a look at some inshore action first. fishing in Nuevo Vallarta December

For the inshore fishing, there will still be mahi-mahi around, yellowtail, roosterfish, Spanish mackerel, snapper and the fantastic eating California Bonita. The best way to catch these is on the troll. If we are lucky enough, we find them schooling and can use some pitch baits or different jigs we have for casting. We will start seeing large schools of the yellowtail here and they are usually caught on live bait. If you catch them surfacing here on top of the water on some of the bait balls that are moving in for the winter months they’ll bite on anything. We should start seeing some more roosterfish with some snapper over on the South Shore in a couple of coves where we catch fish in the winter months. This is typically done with live bait or some pitch baits. It’s not uncommon this time of the year to start seeing schools of snapper inside the Bay and just offshore. If you’re looking for a fun time this winter and don’t wanna spend all day on a boat choose one of our four or six-hour trips and you’ll have the time of your life here in Nuevo Vallarta. Around Christmas time everyone thinks folks are around the fireplace with grandma, but I guarantee you a lot of them are gonna be down here on the beach with us or offshore fishing.

nuevo vallarta fishing report

The offshore fishing will change as the water cools down some of the larger marlin and tunas will move further offshore. They will be replaced by the striped Marlin. These fish love the cooler water and of course, the tuna we catch will be working around on the thermoclines. You can find tuna schooling sometimes, but not as much as in the Fall. One of our favorite trips is 8 hours going out for a big game fish like sailfish, striped Marlin, and Mahi- Mahi. If the action is not there we can always revert back and come into some of the places that are producing great action inside the Bay and catch a boatload of fish for our clients.

 

During the winter months, the best type of fishing offshore is trolling using skip baits with some high-speed lures along with sewn-up baits like goggle eye or mullet. When we know there’s a large concentration of Marlin or tuna around, we’d love to fish with the 5 to 10 lbs live baits. Three rules of fishing offshore live bait, live bait, and of course, live bait.

Some sailfish action right here.

As I said inside the Bay the water had dropped a little bit cooler so you’re looking at some 75 to 76 deg. Here inside the bay in most places. Offshore fishing is seeing a little warmer water at 78 deg. Most places have fantastic water clarity. The wind is laid down and is pretty flat for most of the trips that we’ve been doing. If you’re coming down for the weekend and just want to check the latest conditions feel free to give me captain Pete a call on our toll-free line. 800 4306048. We’ll be more than happy to answer any questions about fishing or any other water-related sports or upcoming weather conditions.

 

Merry Fishmas and hope to see everyone out there on the water here in Nuevo Vallarta fishing.

When  Fall approaches here in Nuevo Vallarta we are hurrying for the upcoming tournaments, the changing of the weather, and the huge fish that will be coming to our shores this October.  I know this is when most places in Canada and the United States are winterizing their boats. Well, we are just getting started here in Mexico.  The Fall season brings many changes and all kinds of pelagic fish. From good eating to some of the hardest fighting fish in the world live here. Let’s take a look at some of these changes and the fish we will be catching this October as Fall rolls around.

nuevo vallarta fishing

A couple of the big changes we have is the weather.  The temperature and the water start to cool a bit here in Nuevo Vallarta. Here in Nuevo Vallarta. The water never gets cold here in Nuevo Vallarta.  This cooling effect really sets off fall fishing into high gear. We will be seeing more marlin, huge dorado, sailfish and an abundance of tuna.  The offshore fishing will be on fire. Plan on enjoying at least 8 hrs. for an offshore trip for these pelagic fish. Not sure about the dates you want to fish, well just give us a call on our toll-free line and we will help you plan your deep see fishing trip for A to Z.  While you are on the phone we can check tides, moon phase and see which day would be best for your fishing trip with us.

One factor that everyone loves to hear is the rainy season will be over in October.  It seems like every October around the 15 th. of October someone turns the faucet off up in the sky and it just does not rain any more. I kind of like it myself. Think about it. Six months of perfect weather, incredible fishing and sunny skies. That combination it hard to beat anywhere in North America. When we start seeing perfect weather, clear skies, crystal clear blue water, all kinds of bait in the water you will know Fall fishing has arrived.nuevo vallarta fishing in the bay

Other than the rainy season is over what other changes will there be?  First and foremost, we start seeing much bigger fish this time of the year. Not only do the fish increase in size, but we see more of them.  The marlin,sailfish and dorados will be here in good numbers. Nothing better than sitting in the fighting chair with a cold corona beer waiting for the two most famous words on any fishing boat.  ( FISH ON ) if you are out marlin fishing with us while we are using ten lb. baits and the reel goes off, you can bet ya got yourself one heck of a fish on the line.  We love trolling those big baits around El Morro, Cortbetena and El Banco.  Just a couple of our favorite fishing places we love during October and the Fall months. There will also be quite a few of sailfish around this season. Nothing wrong with hooking the fastest fish in the world.  There are days during the Fall we see the sailfish schooling in bunches or 10 to 20 fish. We love using pitch baits with light tackle trying to land these ten foot speed demons going across the water at 75 miles per hour. If you are looking for pricing for sailfish or marlin trips check out the 2022 price list or just call our toll-free telephone number 800 430 60 48.  This number goes to Capt.
