Go in October or November. That's their best time of year. No question. For me, I just came in March because I threw together a last minute vacation.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but hoped we would have a chance for tuna. It seems like we targeted the Bonita fish. Maybe thats what you get for a 3/4 day trip and this particular boat.

Willie Willenbrink
Probably not the best time to fish for Marlin or tuna, but we caught tons of other fish

Dan Laidlaw
Look for reviews that say they were very professional and customer service oriented

Anthony Cavacece
It can be referred to as slow season but we caught lots of fish and was happy with the experience

Marney Garrett
We only had one fish on the line the whole time but it turned out to be the perfect catch!!

Mark Davis
Don’t fall for the sharks patrolling the beaches near the resorts. Book Camila’s.

Aren James
To book with these guys! Also be ready these fish don’t fool around. It’s a workout!

Ken Arnold
Fishing Booker is a great way to plan, reserve n book your own Memory Maker and

Mike Brown
yes. we were told in prior years what to expect, and I thought we actually did better than that.

Tyson Nesbitt
Don't expect to fish big game in Puerto Vallarta in January the water is too cold for it

Oswaldo Calvachi
If you book 6 hours or less, expect to stay within the bay and target smaller species of fish.

Ray Andrews
It was my first time catching a sailfish. Get ready for a fight. Definitely want to go again.

Bring plenty of beer and sunscreen. Expect long periods of lull that pay off with high rewards.

Garvol we got a little sea sick from the ocean. Everything else was perfect. We did a 10 hour trip.

Sergio Olvera
Use a local charter to get an idea of the best bait and bank fishing rigs and approach.

Anton Maletich
The captain and his first mate exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this trip.

Tim Luck
This was the first time I caught multiple fish on a trip. I haven’t had great luck in the past.

Nancy Cain
Yes. We have fished in PV before last year. The crew was awesome and worked hard!

Ryan Ducharme
No, choose a different company and check fishing conditions to ensure there isn’t an algae bloom.

Ben Szu
Encourage the operator to have enough live bait. All of our good catches were on line bait

Devin Gardiner
Wait until mid-april or later to fish. Water warms up and mahi move into the bay

Isaac Legg
First 2 days were pretty rough, third day we couldn’t stop catching them with gilligan

Desiree Knowles
Super fun trip! Go and learn! They will teach you!! 100% worth it!! Don’t forget to tip!

Robert Ross
Yes, we had a good time. Everyone caught fish and we saw whales and several sea turtles.

Bill Dascomb
Better to go in the fall, probably, when the water is warmer, and hopefully less wind.

Doug Moore
Just go fishing! Get a good boat and crew if you want to get out in open ocean!

Randy Nault
Yes, definitely. Very friendly, professional, experienced, fun, crew, and top-notch boat.

Cally Wescoat
If you plan to bring fish home, research where to get the fish processed and frozen.

Todd Hull
Be open minded. It is fishing! The Captain and mate work their hardest to put you on fish!
