For the locals in Puerto Vallarta we all know that no matter how good things were yesterday, it’s no promise for tomorrow. Don’t take that as a suggesting that fishing has taken a turn for the worse, quite the opposite. We’re finally heading into the time of the year when the fishing is about as good as it’s going to get. From this point forward Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado, Tuna, you name it will be on the increase. But like always there is a “monkey wrench” that will soon be affecting our fishing both here and up the coast into the states!
We’ve seen massive amounts of rain this past week and that’s keeping the water dirty in many, if not most areas. One good thing about Corbetena is that it’s 35 miles out from Marina Vallarta. This means if there isn’t clean water there, you may not want to go looking for it. For now once you’re past El Morro we’re seeing beautiful high visibility blue water. Blue Marlin this week were on the thin side at 400 lbs. No real sighting of Black Marlin, but they’re out there amigo. Dorado are in the 25 lb range and up, especially if you can find some floating logs or debris. Yellowfin Tuna to 60 lbs are still north of Corbetena by about ten miles. Sailfish as well. One issue is there have been a shortage of “Chorra’s, a name all for bait species in the 6 to 30 lb range. Yep, bait is an issue so you need to be sure to get as many “Chorras” as possible. If possible make bait in the bay where they’re more abundant. If you choose to wait until you hit the rock, drop baits at El Morro. A Ten hour trip is well worth your time and effort.
