www.masterbaiters.com.mx With ever changing conditions we’re smack in the middle of the yearly transition from warm water fish to smaller cold water species. For those looking to hit the deep water locations of El Banco and Corbetena are still in the area but for how long. Late Bite a full moon and Yellowfin Tuna it’s a little confusing but we can...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx When the Marlin and Sailfish and Dorado and Tuna have all left for warmer southern waters people for some reason think the fishing just dies or something. But seriously with cooling water temperatures having expectations of “machine gun hook-ups” is unrealistic. Now if you’re looking for a great day on the water now I can...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Welcome back to another interesting week in the world of Puerto Vallarta Sportfishing. We like to think we can predict conditions see patterns and generally beat our chest with our “local knowledge”. When in reality everything is different every day. If we’re real lucky maybe whatever species was “there” yesterday will hop...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx The one thing we know happens every year after New Year’s is we get the “change”. Happens every year the cold water currents come down warm water species bug out. Basic but different because currents are all important but what really makes the difference is bait. Right now we’re seeing wave after wave of Krill Squids and S...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx For the last week we’ve had our challenges with “too much” of a good thing. Water temperatures had been hanging at the 79 to 81 degree mark but that changed in the last few days where we’re now seeing 76 degrees throughout the area. Now these water temps will still support warm water species and they’re still here. With th...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Every year like clockwork we see the changing of the seasons just about the second or third week of January. This means the water temperatures drop currents change and abundant “Whale Food” in the form of hard shell Squids Red Crabs and massive amounts of Krill Shrimp and Squids. And this is just the tip of the iceberg ami...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx As we begin to see the end of the peak fishing season we’re lucky to have good if not unpredictable action. Fishing is a “liquid” sport and I mean that in forms of the word. Fish move and they’re moving all around the bay. With winter here the Whales are back as are the Porpoise everyone but fisherman love. For those looki...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Before I get started let me first say this anything and everything can change in a heartbeat in the world of fishing. By the time you read this everything has most likely changed. So check the local conditions first before deciding anything amigos. An ominous introduction of there ever was one. Now to lighten things up a b...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx                     Sailfish and Dorado Primary Players  Good Days Bad Days it’s fishing                  Written by: Stan Gabruk owner of Master Baiter´s Sportfishing & Tackle   For the last couple of weeks I’ve been writing about how great the fishing is. Well I’m not going to tell you […] www.masterbaiters.com.mx

www.masterbaiters.com.mx I love writing these articles for you all especially when the fishing is at the world class level like we are now. We’ve seen a lot of “fish moving” these days especially when it comes to sailfish. The weather couldn’t be better if you asked we’re in the peak of the fishing season and of course the fishing is better than g...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx As we get ready to move into December we’re seeing an earlier than normal drop in the water temperatures. We normally start to see 80 degree water temperatures at locations like the Rock in the second week of January almost like clock-work. This year with the 80 degree mark happening about a month early we’re dealing with...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx One thing is for sure nothing stays the same for long in “Fish City”. Things have stepped down a notch from last week and we’re seeing what was concentrated around Corbetena and El Banco has spread out again. Marlin and Sailfish are out there but for the next few days you’ll need to move some water. In layman terms that me...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx As the fishing has been gradually improving it’s the time of the year when things can change dramatically. This past week in the deep water fishing grounds of El Banco and Corbetena were barely breathing. Now as we move forward we’ll have fewer and fewer “emergency room” moments. The good news the patient has come back to...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx  These days there has been a lot of talk about the Tres Maria Islands. When you ask a Yellowfin Tuna Fanatic they don’t know much more than the “rumors” they’ve heard and the Pictures they’ve seen. And yes they’re impressive. For the Pacific side of Mexico Yellowfin Tuna are revered as the top game fish Sportsmen are looki...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx As we move deeper into the best time of the year for fishing here in the Banderas Bay of Puerto Vallarta we see things change slowly. Daily there are small improvements that all add up to world class fishing. We’re seeing Marlin Sailfish and Tuna moving in and out of the area. Nothing is set in stone and remember fish move...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx It’s been an interesting week as we move deeper into peak fishing season in Puerto Vallarta. Marlin are at Corbetena and off Punta Mita Sailfish are picking up in numbers. Dorado are around any debris or stump all with perfect water temperatures. Massive bait perfect days it’s wide open and anything is possible out there....

www.masterbaiters.com.mx This week Sailfish Big Marlin Dorado and Tuna have moved into the area. I was a little worried with so much bait in the area that it might be tough to turn a world class pelagics head!! But that’s not the case in fact it’s the complete opposite. Marlin are now hitting live bait lures dead bait if you put a hook on your car...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx hey say that a picture can speak a thousand words then this week I’ll let the Pictures do the talking for the most part. But for the person who craves details here they are. Corbetena is still looking good with Sailfish Marlin from 300 to 600 lbs Small Dorado and Yellowfin Tuna Footballs to 60 lbs with reports of many YF T...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx As we enter the best three months of the year here in Puerto Vallarta for world class fishing we’re reminded that PV is considered one of the top ten fishing grounds in the world! As me move out of October we’re seeing the yearly Sailfish invasion. Dorado are picking up unexpectedly in numbers Marlin are making you work fo...

www.masterbaiters.com.mx Last week all eyes were on the Hurricane marching up the coast. Now that it’s past the fishing has exploded with plenty of bait perfect water temperatures and of course sparkling high visibility blue water. All conditions are coming together now to create a perfect situation where larger fish and smaller species are all in...
