Happy new year from Nuevo Vallarta, where the fish are always hungry. This last December saw some fantastic action. We had multiple hookups with some sailfish, marlin, mahi-mahi and, much other pelagic fish. This was done mostly to the warmer waters hanging around longer than normal. The water temperatures are still in the high 70’s. Good news for all anglers venturing out for a fun day here in Mexico. Nuevo Vallarta has been on fire to put it lightly. This coming January we are expecting much of the same weather 70 degrees to so and some fabulous fishing inshore and offshore. Seem like the lady anglers we have been taking out are kicking butt and taking names. Take a look at some of these January catches. 
What can folks expect to catch this January? With the water temperature abnormally high that we are having and the overabundance of bait inside the bay and offshore we are predicting the same as December. Normally when the water changes we have species of fish that leave and look for warmer water or different baits but this year they have stayed. Seems like when one species of fish leave another comes along and keeps the fishing interesting here in Nuevo Vallarta Mexico.
These warm water temps have been producing sailfish out by the islands and offshore in good numbers. Several of our best Capts. Have been catching double and even triple hookups offshore. The marlin bite has been steady. The two best fishing spots are el Banco and Corebetena. The same as the years past. There are the few marlins caught in the bay and along the north shore from time to time. The Mahi-mahi action has been off the charts. We had one-day last week where the clients had 20 dorados in one day and some marlin action. Many of the trips this last month of the year were offshore as the bite was so good. I’m sure we will be having much of the same this coming month. Check out some of the best rates in Nuevo Vallarta fishing.
The inshore action lit up the bay with the arrival of the humpback whales and all kinds of good-eating fish. What’s not to like about nonstop rod-bending action all day along with catching some fantastic eating fish to take back to the condo. The Spanish mackerel, California Bonita, snapper, and some Mahi-mahi have kept our fishing anglers busy this January. With the arrival of the new year 2022, we have some new trips to talk about.
We have been getting many requests for fishing and whale watching we decided to offer a fishing/whale watching combo trip. This is a 6 hr trip with grantee success on whales and fish. The humpback whales are here every year from Alaska here from December to March and will have this special trip to offer everyone coming down to beautiful Nuevo Vallarta where the friendliest people in the world live. Please contact us for more info or to make a reservation
Happy New Year and Merry Fishmas from Puerto Vallarta

Try your hand at fishing for marlin, sailfish, wahoo, tuna, and mahi-mahi in Nuevo Vallarta. With the warm waters coming and going it keeps us guessing as to what the bite will be tomorrow. The one constant thing we can count on is good fishing in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.
The sailfish, tuna, and marlin love the semi-warm water that we have all winter long. When most of the United States and Canada are putting their boat is storage we are in full fishing mode here in beautiful Nuevo Vallarta. With the warm waters and abundance of bait you just never know what you can catch here. We have all kinds of fish, but the constant changing of water temps and currents keeps us on toes or should I say our boats. 
If you are looking for marlin fishing in the winter we have right here for some offshore fishing. The plan will be for 8 hours to 10 hrs or even 12 hours depending on where the blue water is and the bait movement. If you follow our fishing reports I always say follow the bait and you will find the fish. The huge marlin loves the warmer water but will not starve themselves to death. We all have to eat and so do the marlin. Hence we have to follow the baits and the other fishing conditions that are tale-tale signs the fish will be biting in our area. If the conditions change so do we. Follow the fish to success.
The sailfish swims in temperatures that can range from 75 to 80 degrees water but with some exceptions. We see these fish in the summer when the water temp is above 80 degree. That is what makes the winter fishing in Nuevo Vallarta so nice is the perfect water temperatures. With all kinds of bait like mullet, sardine and goggle-eye,bonitas, chorras there’s nothing holding us back here in Puerto Vallarta fishing. If you want excitement try fishing with 5 to 10 lbs baits for our blue and black marlin. 
The mahi-mahi aka dorados loves the water temp from 68 degrees to 82 deg. We have those water temps most of year-round. The best water temperatures are in the winter months here in Puerto Vallarta bay fishing. To catch these fish be sure and know where the water temp breaks are in the bay. We use Terrifin and this will put us in the fish zone most days. The mahi-mahi fantastic fighters are just like us and love the warm water and will be here most of the year especially in the winter. Come down and give mahi-mahi fishing a chance inshore or offshore. The best bet is a charter of 8 hours for some thrilling action and an incredible table fare. There are some of the best-tasting fish anywhere.
The bay fishing holds very steadily for the winter months. We have the Spanish mackerel,skip-jack tuna, yellowtail, and snapper that keeps our clients happy even on short trips of for to six hours.

The one change everyone loves to hear is the weather. Yes, the weather changes from hot to just almost perfect.

When we down here in beautiful Mexico see the weather getting cold up in the states we know it wants to be long until our perfect fall weather kicks into high gear. This morning it was around 74 deg.

Nuevo Vallarta fishing Report September
The September fishing report goes off with some incredible fishing and fantastic weather here in Nuevo Vallarta. Fishing has been excellent and we have been catching a lot of fish big game out there in the Pacific ocean. Bay fishing is show limits almost every day and deep-sea fishing is even hotter.
This month I wanted to explain about the rainy season and the best fishing grounds in the following months. 
I receive many phone calls every month wondering about where the fish are, what the weather is going to be like, and how many fish they’re going to catch. During the summer months, we do get rain and it’s almost every day. This is fantastic as the weather cools off. This happens usually late in the evening. The days are sunny and beautiful. It’s a little-known fact that the rainy season actually helps our fishing offshore and inshore. The rain and all the nutrients that come from the mountains surrounding Nuevo Vallarta go right back into the ocean. This turns the fishing on and brings to fish in a lot closer. This refreshing rain we receive actually helps our fishing and happens almost every day. The weatherman may say rain every day, but the forecast will be nice and sunny during the day. If you are looking for great fishing action Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico is the place to be.
What kind of fish are we going to be able to catch in the rainy season? If you and your friends are fishing the bay, it’s jam-packed with a lot of small game skipjack, mahi-mahi, roosterfish, snapper, and sailfish. Yes, the sailfish come into the bay in the summer months. This happens because of all the rain and the abundance of bait In the bay.
Offshore fishing is best during the rainy season and in early Fall. There’s no telling what size Marlin you can catch during this time of the season. These huge fish are cruising up and down the shore for our prime-time fishing grounds which is right here in Puerto Vallarta during the rainy season.
Marlin, sailfish, huge mahi-mahi, and large tuna are what the summer and Fall fishing seasons are all about. Be sure to be ready to spend the day looking for these pelagic fish. This kind of fishing is usually done in the 8 to 10 hr trips. When fishing offshore your odds of landing the big one go up tenfold. Ready to book a custom fishing adventure click here.
The bay has some of the best fishing in the works, but does not compare to our offshore fishing.
We have so many people come down looking to catch their first big Marlin during the summer and Fall months. The best be is to talk to one of our local experts to determine the right boat, time, and crew for you. Some of these clients request a four or six-hour trip. You can get lucky here in the baby and catch a fish of a lifetime but it’s much better offshore. The odds are always better for big game offshore fishing. Like I said before there are months that we catch sailfish, mahi-mahi, and marlin on these short bay trips. The really big difference is your chances go up much more offshore. We do have great vacation fishing in the rainy season but when you’re looking for a big game it’s always better to try to book 8 hours plus on one of the deep sea fishing boats. We have a lot of tricks that we used to find the fish such as Terrafin, tides ,moon phase, Bait Movement, and What we have been catching the days before. These are just a few of the factors when looking at big game fishing. I enjoy getting all the calls and about the current weather fishing conditions each month. I’m always happy to help find the perfect boat here in Nuevo Vallarta. I created a question-and-answer page which details a lot of questions that some people ask each day. You can look up all the expert answers before going out fishing with us
Hope to see everybody out there on the water here in beautiful Nuevo Vallarta.
