Captain Monte is a local who speaks both Spanish and English. He has been fishing his entire life and began professionally fishing over 2 decades ago. He enjoys to participate in the 'Playa de Los Muertos tournament ' and in the last 6 tournaments places in the top 10. One of his favorite parts of this job is seeing the smiles on the faces of his clients after they catch a fish, especially when it's their first one ever.

    Rooster fish and sandy beach lunch. 03/22/2026

    3/4 Day Trip4 adults

    I want to start off by saying PV is 100% safe the news has made a big deal about a few burned cars and Oxos it is total safe. We had a great day, I told Captain Monty I wanted to catch Rooster fish and that is exactly what happened. After catching some fish we went and ate at a sandy beach restaurant where they cooked a fish we caught and made sashimi with it as well. Every one knew monty and treated us like royalty. Captain Monty then took us to a snorkeling spot and we saw thousands of fish including two spoted eagle rays that stayed around for a few minutes so we could enjoy how beautiful they were. This is our second trip with captain Monty so dont hesitate to book a trip. I know I will be going out with him again.

    Trip too short?

    Extended Day Trip4 adults

    We booked a 10 hour trip. But apparently we didn’t go far enough to catch fish. Not sure what else I could’ve done but would’ve appreciated going further out to where the fish were. Great captain great boat great deck hand. Maybe just a bad decision for that day. If you wanna fish Puerto Vallarta, you gotta go way way out.

    Arm burning Tuna and wildlife

    Extended Day Trip4 adults

    The boat was extremely clean, a nice ride and comfortable to fish in. The captin and crew put us on Yellow fin tuna that make your arms burn. We were the only boat catching fish and they were nice sized 70lbs. We saw a bunch of whales, dolphins and a ton of birds that the captin would point out and knew the names of.

    Reported catch:

What's biting with La Bandida Sport Fishing in Puerto Vallarta

Sa Striped Marlin-om koji se pridružuje drugim džinovima koji se love na pučini, ovo je najbolji mesec za dubokomorski ribolov u Puerto Valjarti. Dodajte tune i dorade u kombinaciju, i ne može biti bolje od ovoga.
