It's hot, wear the right clothes, make sure there is ice and lots of water. Expect your bag to be checked before boarding boat.

Fishing is never a guaranteed, but this was the best trip I have had to date. I think the window of time I would prefer is no less than 6 hours.

I would recommend fishing in Vallarta. 8 hour trip would be best for anyone wanting big catch.

Book your fishing time earliest available since the big fish tend to bite the earlier in the day it is.

November is peak season for fishing but with the right guide and patience to head offshore, fishing can be great all year!

Don't hesitate, especially if it's your first time. From speaking to the captain, the best time to book another trip is late october.

Fishing in the bay of Banderas is usually OK. But depending on the weather, it can be hot and cold. We are here in June and we've had some unexpected rain which can really mess with the fishing. The captain that took us out is local to the area and he put us on the fish that he thought we would be able to catch based on the current conditions. He was absolutely correct. If you're going to book a charter and just want to catch fish, ask the captain what he thinks we can catch that day.

Be kind to the skipper. They don't control luck. We had an unbelievable catch of skipjack, but that was largely because we voted directly into a miles long school of feeding skipjack. May seems like good fishing, but that's just my experience
