www.masterbaiters.com.mx This year it seems the seasonal rains are slow in arriving. We’ve seen rain not the heavy all night type of pours we’re used to s we’re getting trash lines. This of course means the water in the bay is clean for the most part. What was encouraging last week has trickled down to finding Spinner Dolphin and hoping they’re ru...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx The Season is developing nicely. Water temperatures are up to a perfect level and after all that Spinner action last week with smaller Tuna we’re now seeing some sizeable Yellowfin Tuna. Sailfish are increasing in numbers and size Stripers aka Striped Marlin are still in the area even with the increased water temps. Big su...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Every year the fishing season develops differently. Forest would say “Fishing is like a box of chocolates”! With constantly changing currents and weather conditions we never know what we’re going to get. This year we’re seeing some exciting indicators and frankly I haven’t been this excited for the new fishing season for m...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx During this "Pandemic" fishing here in Puerto Vallarta is locked down we're not even allowed to go fishing on a private boat. For now of course we're in the same boat as the rest of the world. Being in the "Big Game Fishing" business I'm naturally very keen on the market around me. With the internet now we have all sorts o...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Visiting a new place is always a fun and exciting adventure. Puerto Vallarta is no different than any other world class vacation destination. Hotels restaurants shopping centers all want to attract your business and of course your tourist dollars. We all also know that when you travel to places like Puerto Vallarta it's im...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx For all my loyal readers I guess we’re all in the same boat rough seas (aka COViD-19) and all. I think the glass is half full and refuse to believe it’s the end of the world. Most of Mexico in this moment is actually situated pretty well. Yes the numbers change daily but we live in a warm if not hot and very humid environm...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx ell here we all are stuck in a pandemic as Puerto Vallarta gets shut down like the rest of the world! This week’s report is about the bay and the possibilities which are mostly ignored. Fish don’t know there’s a pandemic so they’re ignoring the whole situation. With 68 degree water temperatures we’re still seeing the cold...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx One of the things that always happens is people who read my articles always come in asking for Marlin Dorado etc. For now they’re south for the winter but will be back in a few months. For now we’re taking shorter day trips for the most part and catching winter species but of course it’s still fishing so there are always c...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx We’ve been lucky this whole winter high season when it comes to fishing. We’ve had warm water summer species and incredible action. For a while there I was concerned that this could be an El Nino year but thank your lucky stars things have changed. So this means were back on a “normal schedule”. That means the water temper...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx If you go back and review any of my old reports you’d notice they all follow a seasonal pattern. Warm water means big summer species like Marlin Tuna Sailfish and Dorado. Winter Species of Jack Crevalls Snappers Bonito limited Sailfish are also in the area. So for us to have most of the aforementioned species is just incre...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Well it’s finally happening the water temperatures have dropped to the “degrees” that would be normal for this time of the year. Up to this point visiting angles have had the luxury of having several summer species hanging around in the “winter” fishing season. Dorado Striped Marlin and Yellowfin Tuna will be fading out sh...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Well here we are again another week and more unexpected conditions. In recent weeks we’ve seen the unusually warm water fueling our deep water fishing grounds with Striped Marlin Sailfish Dorado and more. But now we’re seeing some “Clean Green” water which is about 74 degrees. This of course means we’re seeing swirling cur...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx We’re seeing some strange things happening in our world famous fishing grounds. First we have 81 degree water no kidding. It should be in the neighborhood of 75 degrees or lower. As a result of this and the storms up north we’re seeing an explosion of Fish! Sailfish Dorado Striped Marlin even Blue Marlin are being boated....

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Well it had to happen the calendar is getting long in the tooth and the cool water finally came in. It always happens at the end of December this year we we’re lucky! But luck doesn’t last forever as we see strong and cold currents coming down from the north. With this cold water is coming the winter bait the whale food so...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx As we come into this time of the year we see a bit of a rollercoaster out there. With swirling currents of different temperatures it can be challenging to say the least. One of those challenges is the massive amount of “Whale food” that comes in the form of Krill Squids Krill Shrimps and many other different baits. Yes the...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Normally as we enter late December we hope and pray for warm water to continue into the holiday season. This year it looks like we’re going to be lucky as water temperatures continue to be warm. Sailfish and Marlin numbers are starting to thin-out in some areas. But we also need to remember “Fish Move”! So what looks like...

The water temps in Puerto Vallarta are still very high for this late in the season normally by the first week of December the bigger Blue and Black Marlin fishing season is over but we are still catching alot of Blue Marlin on 8-10 hr Deep sea fishing charters.  We are also catching Dorado and … Continue reading Fishing report Marlin Sailfish  Dora...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Well it had to come the seasons are getting ready to change. We’ve seen some cooler currents moving in swirling with the warmer surface water. Fish numbers have been great so the fact it can be difficult to get these fish to pay attention to your bait is frustrating. This started just a few days after my last report. There...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx I think last week you may have gotten the feeling I was a little disappointed in the local action and I was a little. But that has all changed now because any fish you could basically want to catch is out there. You name it you want good sized to huge Yellowfin Tuna got it. Sailfish Dorado Marlin got it. But there’s a catc...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Written by: Stan Gabruk of Master Baiter´s Sportfishing & Tackle We’re seeing signs of the fishing season winding down. Water temperatures are swirling and dropping. Marlin and Sailfish are spread out and small in size for the moment. But the obvious current changes and predictable drop in water temperatures means seasons...
