Fishing in Puerto Vallarta

Discover the thrilling waters of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, a premier destination for anglers seeking diverse and abundant fishing adventures. Nestled on the Pacific coast, this vibrant location boasts rich marine biodiversity and year-round opportunities to land trophy catches.

Puerto Vallarta is renowned for its world-class big game fishing. Venture offshore to battle magnificent Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, and Striped Marlin, or test your skills against acrobatic Sailfish and powerful Yellowfin Tuna. The area also offers exceptional inshore action, where you can pursue the iconic Roosterfish with its distinctive comb-like dorsal fin, along with Snappers and Groupers that promise both a fight and a delicious meal.

Fishing seasons provide peak opportunities throughout the year: target Striped Marlin from January through July, followed by Dorado (Mahi Mahi) from July to November. The summer and fall months bring intense deep-sea action with Blue Marlin, Sailfish, and Yellowfin Tuna dominating the fertile grounds around El Banco and La Corbeteña.

Whether you prefer offshore excursions, nearshore trolling, or light tackle fishing in the bay, Puerto Vallarta caters to all styles. Professional charters equipped with expert knowledge ensure unforgettable experiences across these abundant Mexican waters.

Puerto Vallarta Fishing Seasons

January

January in Puerto Vallarta allows you to see this Mexican town at its best. Temperatures are pleasant in the mid 70s, there's very little rain, and Wahoo and Sailfish fishing is on fire. 

February

The winter is high tourist season thanks to the dry weather and comfortable temperatures, and February is no exception. Hotel prices are high, but don't let that get in the way, as Dorado fishing is excellent.

March

Escape the crowds visiting Puerto Vallarta on Spring Break and head off to try fly fishing for Bass in the nearby lakes. Otherwise, make the most of the great fishing in Banderas Bay.

April

The crowds finally start to disperse and the hotels become cheaper. Inshore fishing in Banderas Bay remains excellent, with Mackerel causing mayhem on light tackle.

May

May is when the fishing really begins to get serious in Puerto Vallarta. Temperatures are between 70-80 degrees, crowds are low, and the Yellowfin Tuna has arrived. It doesn't get better than this.

June

The euphoric conditions of May continue into June, with offshore fishing paying dividends as the water temperatures rise. Target Tuna offshore or Roosterfish, Grouper, and Amberjack inshore.

July

July weather in Puerto Vallarta is hot, and so is Roosterfish fishing. While this spiky species is good all year round, July is arguably the best possible time to catch it. Tuna is still wrecking havoc offshore.

August

Forget about the hot weather and feel the sea breeze: this is the beginning of the high season for Billfish in Puerto Vallarta. Sailfish, Blue Marlin, and Black Marlin are all on fire.

September

With Striped Marlin joining the other behemoths being caught offshore, this is the best month for deep sea fishing in Puerto Vallarta. Add Tuna and Dorado to the mix, and you can't get better than this.

October

Offshore fishing remains incredibly good, although, as with September, anglers need to be aware of the risk of cancellations due to tropical storms. Well, you can't have everything!

November

The weather begins to stabilize and tourist season starts up anew. Say goodbye to hotel discounts, but say hello to huge prizes at the International Marlin and Sailfish Tournament.

December

Celebrate the holiday season in style, along with thousands of other people who have realized that the holidays are better without snowflakes. Could a Billfish Grand Slam be the best Christmas present ever?
