Puerto Vallarta fishing report

September 2014

Hola to all my fishing buddies! here is my Puerto Vallarta fishing report.

The last 3 weeks, mahi-mahi on our 8 hour charters have just gone mad with our boats bringing in on an average 8 to 12 Mahi-mahi in the 15lb to 20lb range and in our 10 hour charters yellow fin tuna and marlin. This past week on one of our 10 hour charters with captain Hector, luck was on our side! as he hooked on to a 225lb Tuna at the fishing grounds of La corbeteña. He used a live 5lb Bonita as bait and the fight lasted a good 1hr 45 min using a penn international 50 with 40lb test line. During the day they also landed some Mahi-mahi and various other types of smaller game fish. The water temperature is a very warm 86°f and the current is just right for big game fishing. So come down and enjoy some great fishing as we are starting to get busy for this season. Get your reservations in and get ready for a fun and exciting day fishing with our experienced and professional captains and crew.

Until next time!

Hola once again to all my fishing buddies!

On this trip Fernando and wife went out with the one and only captain Hector. They went out for 3 days and had a wonderful time fishing. On this day they did an 8 hour charter and headed out to the Marietas islands area and they also fished el Moro island. The water temperature has finally warmed up and the tuna,marlin and sailfish are coming in close to the bay. On this day Fernando and wife landed some Yellowfin tuna and also 2 nice sailfish, with one catch and release.

Their hunt for Mahi mahi was unsuccessful but they did see many but they just were not biting. I expect as the rains are arriving that the river flows that go into the ocean the bay will be teaming with schools of mahi mahi and the giant tuna will get closer. So don't forget to book your fishing charter with us (Charly´s fishing). You can also read about all our client comments visiting Tripadvisor.com

Until next time!

Sighting off!

Hola once agian to all my fishing buddies

On this day we departed from the Marina vallarta at 7:00 am and headed to the Marietas islands. About half mile from the Marietas we ran into a big school of sardines where captian Hector started casting with a castmaster and we landed a couple of 5 lb bonitas to put in the Tuna tubes for use later on the big roosters that are near the Marietas and also El morro island. We continued just past las Marrietas and started trolling with luhres and landed about 5 sierra in the 12lb range.

Things got slow for a while so moved back to the marietas and started using the big eye live bait just dropping the lines in the shallower areas of the island and quicky started landing small african pompanos! 4 in total in the 5 to 8 lb range. Then we proceeded to change our bait to the bonitas we had previously caught and had in our tuna tubes.

This was the end of our 8 hour trip and was full of excitement as we landed our first big roosterfish. My friend Kathy from Colorado started fighting the fish for 10 minutes in she was done so husband David took over and brought the rooster in 25 minutes later for a total fight of 35 minutes. The weight was a good 55 lbs. We ended up landing one more big rooster weighing about 35lbs. All in all we had another successful trip with captain Hector. So if your comming down to visit Puerto Vallarta don't forget to contact us here at Charlys. You can pre book online or just drop in and pay us a visit. So until next time.

Hola to all my fishing buddies!!

The last couple of weeks have been Roosterfish heaven as our captians have been fishing the Marieta Island and El moro island areas for big Roosters.

We have been landing roosters from 20 to 50lbs, red snapper 10 to 30lbs, amberjacks 50lbs, These are being caught in the 8 hour charters using Bonitas and big eyes for bait. Sailfish are also in reach on the 8 hour charter.

On our 12 hour charters near the fishing grounds of El banco the big Tuna started arriving as Captain Nacho landed two 200lb yellow fin tuna near El banco so the waters are starting to warm up and that means big tuna and Marlin.

So come join us at Charlys fishing charters and get ready to enjoy an exciting day of fishing.

Until next time!

Puerto Vallarta fishing report February 2014

To all my fishing buddies

In the last 2 weeks the water temperature has cooled to 82f so we have slowed down just a bit on the bill fishing and mahi-mahi but there are still mahi-mahi to be found. On the 8 hour charters we have been landing an occasional Mahi-mahi 15 to 25lbs but the rooster-fish have been in abundance weighing in from 15 to 45lbs.

Out at the Marietas islands the African pampano have been every where. All our boats have had good luck jigging in the shallow rocky areas of the island and also using live bait (Big eyes) for the red snappers that are in the area. The tuna and Marlin are still very far out and in my opinion its better to wait for the water to warm up and skip the long fishing charters as when the water temp gets up to around 84 or 85 we should start seeing some more action on big marlin and yellow fin tuna.

Until next time! your fishing buddy

Hola! To all my fishing buddies

This month has been very good if you are looking for Mahi-mahi, Sailfish, and rooster fish. We are also landing smaller game fish like sierra and artic bonnita. This week i had an oportunity to go out with my wife Genovie and friend Kathy with Captain Hector (Tortas) on an 8 hour charter. We started off at (el morro) island which is located about 22 miles from the marina, there we landed several Sierra and artic bonnita in the 4 to 8lb range. From there we proceeded towards the fishing grounds 5 miles from the Sayulita shore were we started using live bait and trolling at about 6 knots for sailfish and Mahimahi, and were not disappointed as we landed 4 nice mahimahi in the 20 to 30lb range within an 1 ½ hours . As the day progressed we hooked on to a nice sailfish that put on quite a show for us. So in all we had a great day. So we will be waiting for you here at Charlys fishing for a memorable day of fishing.Enjoy the pictures!

To all my fishing Buddies!

This past week Charly´s team headed out fishing just a couple of miles past the (marieta islands). We left the Marina Vallarta around 7:30 am and reached our fishing spot at 8:45am. Captain Howard and deckhand Nacho decided to fallow the river current that pours out into the ocean during this time of year from the Sierra Madre rain forest into the ocean for many miles, there, the sardines were feeding and resting under the floating Palms,kelp and tree trunks. We started trolling aside the current and debris and quickly hooked on to a big Sailfish which took about 25 minutes to land.

Nacho, Charly, Jonathan

Then 1 hour later, we landed another nice Sailfish that we were able to release back into the ocean. As the day progressed Captain Howard decided to start using Big eyes which was our live bait we had in our live well and it didn't take long before we started landing Mahi-mahi in the 20 to 40 lb range,.At last count we landed 5 nice Mahimahi,sailfish and some artic bonitas before heading back. So at this time fishing for Mahi- mahi is of the hook as all boats are coming in with smiles on there faces after having a good day fishing. So come on down for some good fishing and excitement with Charlys fishing team.

Hola once again to all my fishing buddies!

On this fishing trip Charles Sutton and his two partners went out with captain Hector and deckhand Victor on a 10 hour charter to the fishing area know as (La Corbeteña) or the Rock , the crew was using Big eyes for live bait and it worked just great , the ocean was just a little ruff but paid no attention to the swells as the ocean was teaming with yellow fin tunas in all directions and kept everyone busy bringing in the tuna one right after the other , it didn't take long before there was no strength left in our arms needless to say out backs to. So if you are planning one coming down to fish in the near future and your looking for some great tuna fishing they can be caught in the 10 or 12 hour charters anywhere from 20 to 200 lb Yellow fin Tuna. So until next time!

1st International fishing tournament at La cruz de Huanacaxtle

2012-10-19T14:18:00.000-07:00

Hola amigos!
We are happy to share our experience in the 1st international fishing tournament at La cruz de Huanacaxtle,Nayarit.

Our customer and friend from Texas Joey Goss and his friends Poncho Leal and Dean McLean trusted in us to be the ones to take them to the tournament in one of our fleet boats "El Matador" with Captain Manny as our fishing guide, Mitchell and Israel as deckhands and me, Juan Carlos as their host.

It was an unforgettable experience!

Everything started with a welcome party in Marina La Cruz, October 10th where we registered our team, got our number and freebies, got to know the grounds and enjoy some drinks,tacos and live music as we were making our plan for the next day.

October 11th.- Departing at 7:00am after the official inauguration ceremony, we headed to one of the most popular big game fishing areas known as "El banco" (the bank) around 35 miles away from la cruz de huanacaxtle, where Captain Manny spotted our bait (bonitas and choras). We landed around seven two pound bonitas with small big eyes as bait. We came back with a nice sailfish and a lot of excitement!

October 12th.- Day of rest..

October 13th.- Departing at 5:00am after our day of rest, this time we headed to another popular big game fishing area known as "la corbeteña" or "la piedra" (the rock). Where after landing our bait, fun started...

We landed 6 yellow fin tunas, one dorado and 2 sailfish! It was an impressive day and all our anglers were pretty tired but excited, happy and ready for the next and last day...

October 14th.- Departing at 5:00am we went back to "La corbeteña" and at the beginning, it was slow as bait was not hungry and it was very hard to get it! Dolphins were all around the place eating our bait, so Captain Manny gave instructions to his deckhands to change the strategy and use different bait.

Around noon things started to get better, We had a Marlin in front of us and then in our line, Boy that one was big! but unfortunately... spitted the hook out. Then, the sound of the reel made us stand up to see what became our trophy… a nice looking dorado! Yes Ladies and gentleman, after 3 days of hardworking we came back with a 14kg mahi-mahi that won the 2^nd place of the tournament and the jackpot of the day!

It’s an unforgettable experience to be there in the winner´s podium in front everybody knowing that your friends and customers had a great time!

I want to thank Joey Goss from Cheldan Homes in Texas, Poncho Leal and Dean McLane for the opportunity to be part of this amazing experience. Special thanks to Captain Manny and his crew from “El Matador” boat for their dedication and excellent job!

To my girlfriend who I barely saw for almost 5 days J I love you honey!
To my partners at Charly´s sailing and sport fishing, Jonathan and Charly for their support when I was absent from the office having a great time when they were working hard ( It´s true!!!!)

So now you know people, give us the opportunity to be your hosts in the upcoming fishing tournaments and who knows… we might be in the winner’s circle again!

2012-09-19T13:13:00.001-07:00

Hola to all my fishing buddies from beautiful Puerto Vallarta!
We are off to a great start on our prime fishing season. The water temperature is between 83F to 86F and the pacific current is directing itself to our benefit so the warm waters are just right for landing dorado,sailfish,tuna and marlin.
Recently Charly´s team (Juan Carlos, Charly and me Jonathan) went out with captain Nacho approximately 22 to 25 miles out from the marina Vallarta. On our way out we made a quick stop and netted some sardines for the tuna among the big-eyes we already had in the live well. We continued on pass the marietas islands towards "El Morro" island, at first it was a little slow only landing some Bonitas and then around 1:00pm the fun started with a couple of dorados (mahi-mahi) in the 25lb to 35lb range. We then spotted a couple of stripped marlin but no luck :( they just seemed not to be on the hungry side so we continued on to the fishing grounds called "el faro" which is just outside the south side of the bay, there... things got interesting. Captain Nacho spotted a nice school of tuna and we quickly got the live-bait and the excitement begun with hookups of 2 tunas at the time landing a total of 9 tunas in the 60lb to 80lb range.
Sad to say we lost one in the 150lb range but..You cant always get them all!
On our way back in, we spotted more marlin but no bites, so I can tell you that the big game fishing is teaming in these waters for marlin, big tuna, dorado and sailfish.
My next trip plan is this Wednesday to La corbeteña and El banco where our captains have reported big blue marlins in the 500lb to 600lb range and tuna in the 100lb to 250lb range which is the great news we have been waiting for, so until the next time... your fishing buddy:
Jonathan.

September in Puerto Vallaera

2011-09-08T10:45:00.000-07:00

Good Morning amigos!
We are in September "El mes patrio" or "the month of our country" as we all know it in México.
In the early hours of September 16, 1810, father "Don" Miguel Hidalgo (Catholic priest), accompanied by several conspirators –Iganacio Allende, Doña Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez- rang the bell of his little church, calling everyone to fight for liberty. This was the beginning of the Independence war against the Spanish colonial goverment, which lasted 10 years.

This event has since assumed an almost mythic status.[5][6] Since the late 20th century, Hidalgo y Costilla’s "cry of independence" has become emblematic of Mexican independence.

Each year on the night of September 15 at around eleven in the evening, the President of Mexico rings the bell of the National Palace in Mexico City. After the ringing of the bell, he repeats a cry of patriotism (a Grito Mexicano) based upon the "Grito de Dolores", with the names of the important heroes of the Mexican War of Independence and ending with the threefold shout of ¡Viva Mexico! from the balcony of the palace to the assembled crowd in the Plaza de la Constitución, or Zócalo, one of the largest public plazas in the world. After the shouting, he rings the bell again and waves the Flag of Mexico to the applause of the crowd, and is followed by the playing and mass singing of the Himno Nacional Mexicano, the national anthem. This event draws up to half a million spectators from all over Mexico and tourists worldwide. On the morning of September 16, or Independence Day, the national military parade starts in the Zócalo, passes the Hidalgo Memorial and ends on the Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City’s main boulevard.

A similar celebration occurs in cities and towns all over Mexico, and in Mexican embassies and consulates worldwide, on the 15th or the 16th. The mayor (or governor, in the case of state capitals and ambassadors or consuls in the case of overseas celebrations), rings a bell and gives the traditional words, with the names of Mexican independence heroes included, ending with the threefold shout of Viva Mexico!, the bell ringing for the second time, the waving of the Mexican flag and the mass singing of the National Anthem by everyone in attendance. In the 19th century, it became common practice for Mexican presidents in their final year in office to re-enact the Grito in Dolores Hidalgo, rather than in the National Palace. President Calderón officiated at the Grito in Dolores Hidalgo as part of the bicentennial celebrations in 2010 on the 16th of September, even though he had to do this first, to launch the national bicentennial celebrations, in the National Palace balcony on the night of the 15th.[7][8]

The following day, September 16 is Independence Day in Mexico and is considered a patriotic holiday, or fiesta patria (literally, holiday of the Fatherland). This day is marked by parades, patriotic programs, drum and bugle and marching band competitions, and special programs on the national and local media outlets, even concerts.

so if you are planning to come to Puerto Vallarta these days, you will find our beautiful city decorated and ready for a real Mexican party!

Hola to all my fishing buddies from our beautiful city of PuertoVallarta!
the tuna continues to amaze me,We are still landing tuna in the 6hr charters at the south side of the bay.
they are much smaller than what we are use to in these waters. (20lb to 150lb) but put up a great fight,specially using light 20lb test line.

We have been using live bait,castmasters of all kinds & luhrs and all seems to work just fine.
Small dorado (mahi-mahi) and sailifish are finaly starting to show up, but Marlin,are still a no show in the 8hr charters. you still need a 10hr to 12hr charter to have a chance with the blue and black marlin.
hopefuly soon we will start spoting Marlin in the 8hr range

do not forget to visit Puerto Vallarta fishing for more information about our charters
Well,untill next time...

Hola from puerto vallarta to all my fishing buddies!
Sorry for the delay with our fishing report but we are finally back.
This week I went out fishing on the 28ft panga "la bella del mar" with my friend Bob, captain Torri and "Flaco" as deckhand. We headed out to the southside of the bay to an area called "El Faro" just outside the point of the bay,used luhrs,castmasters and live bait and to our amazement,everything worked throught the day and we landed pleanty young yellow fin tuna in the 20lb to 35lb range.
this is just the beginning of our tuna season and the big monster tunas (200lb to 350lb) are just around the corner.

We also spotted a few mahi-mahi but could not get them to bite.
The water temperature is now about 83º so we should start landing big blue,stripped and black marlin soon,so untill the next time!

the water temperature and our climate is finaly starting to warm up,so we are starting to spot bill fish getting closer to our bay of banderas,also mahi mahi,but for nowwe are in "african pampano" heaven. (of course we are not in Africa)

We were fishing using live bait and early in the morning we landed 3 tough fighting amber jacks,one in the 45lb range and 2 in the 20lb range but around 12:00pm, we started hooking up the delicious african pampano non stop! one after another from 5lb to 30lb. in total we landed about 20 pampanos and 3 amber jacks.

special thanks to Ron and his wife who chartered the boat and share a few of their own fishing secrets.

Hello again my fishing buddies!

it has been a while since my last fishing report,with all the holydays and such...but i am back!

I went out just outside the marietas islands this week and had one good day of fishing.
Due to the cold water temperatures that have hit us for the past month,the type of fish that we are landing has changed. we are now in redsnapper´s heaven and also a lot of african pampano.
on this tour i used a lot of live bait and landed redsnapper one right after another using: (big eye) live bait.
they were around 10lb to 20lb snappers! I also landed a couple of roosterfish in the 35lb range and some african pampano. enjoy the pictures!

well... until next time:
your fishing buddy: Jonathan
