Contender Sport Fishing 

Come explore the gorgeous waters of Jalisco, Mexico and create fishing memories of a lifetime with Contender Sport Fishing! You’ll start out of Puerto Vallarta and head out to fish-rich inshore and offshore grounds together with Captain Ildefonso Joya. The veteran captain has spent his whole life near water and is eager to show you the beauties of fishing in this part of Mexico. Join him aboard and have a fishing experience you’ll remember for a long time!

Your trip starts on a 30’ Nava center console that can sit up to 5 anglers. Powered by twin 115 Mercury engines, the boat will take you to your fishing spots in no time. It uses all the modern GPS, fishfinder, as well as radio technology to provide safe and efficient movement on the water. The boat’s equipped with downriggers, tuna tubes, snorkeling gear, a fighting chair, and a livewell. To further improve your experience, you’ll have the help of a first mate, an ice-box, and there’s also a portable toilet you can use.

On your trip, you can go after Mahi Mahi, Roosterfish, Blue Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Snapper, Bonito, and other prized species. There’s a wide variety of fishing techniques you can use to reel in your prey. Using light and heavy tackle, you can bottom fish, deep sea fish, troll, spin, jig, pop, drift fish, fly fish, kite fish, and even bow fish. Both you and the crew can keep your catch. Kids are free to come aboard.

Captain Ildefonso will provide you with all the fishing gear, live bait, lures, water, and ice. Bring your licenses, food, and drinks before you start the trip and you’ll be all set.

Spend a day with Contender Sport Fishing and enjoy a fun and action-packed time on the water!
