Puerto Vallarta Fishing Information

There is nothing quite like fishing in the beautiful Puerto Vallarta, a resort city located on the Pacific Ocean's Bahía de Banderas in Mexico. Puerto Vallarta is a grand city, providing many great fishing opportunities for anglers, as well as providing many other activities for friends and families seeking a wonderful vacation area.

Banderas Bay is famous for some great Puerto Vallarta inshore sport fishing! There are options for the serious angler, tournament competitor or novice. For those anglers who find themselves on a limited budget, but still wish to experience the wonderful fishing experience that Puerto Vallarta provides, the Banderas Bay is definitely the way to go. Not only can fishing here land you such fish as Grouper, Pargo, Jack Crevalle, and Amberjack, but it can also land you every visitor's dream – the Roosterfish! This fish, distinguished by its “rooster comb”, can reach up to 4 feet in length and weigh in at over one hundred pounds – enough to make almost any angler well satisfied with the day's haul!

While some may prefer Puerto Vallarta fishing inshore, others may prefer to head out farther in order to try their hand at some of the best deep sea fishing around. The San Andreas shelf just offshore, and the many islands just outside the bay creates the perfect fishing grounds. The Marietas Islands, located approximately one hour from Puerto Vallarta, provide wonderful deep sea fishing while not being too expensive. The nearby El Morro is often another popular destination for those who wish to fish near the Marietas Islands. For those anglers trying to bring themselves in a trophy fish without emptying their wallets, this is definitely the way to go.
