Puerto Vallarta fishing report August 2024

August in Puerto Vallarta is a fisherman’s paradise here in Mexico with warm waters, the fish are hungry, and the action is non-stop. Let’s dive into this month of August and see it has in store for us.
Water Conditions and Temperature are always changing this time of the year. There are rains,winds but mostly sunny days with clear skies for fishing here in Puerto Vallarta.
The water temperature in August typically hovers around a balmy 82-84 degrees Fahrenheit. These warm conditions create an ideal environment for a variety of marine life, making it a prime time for fishing. The water clarity can vary, but generally, it’s good enough to spot baitfish schools and structure. There might be some days with slightly choppy conditions, but overall, the sea is usually calm and conducive to fishing. We use Terrufin App that tells us where the blue water is,water temperatures and even therycline breaks are in the bay and offshore.
Offshore Action in Puerto Vallarta for the month of AUGUST.
Tuna: August is tuna time in Puerto Vallarta. Yellowfin tuna are the main target, and they’re in abundance. We’ve been finding them in deeper waters, around 120-150 feet all the way down to 300 feet, where there are temperature breaks. On some days we have deployed the down riggers. Deep drops work fantastic for big tuna. Live baiting with skipjack tuna or flying fish has been producing the best results. The bite has been explosive, with some real hogs being caught.

Sailfish: While not as prolific as tuna, sailfish are still around. We’ve been trolling for them in the deeper blue waters. The key is to cover ground and use a variety of lures. It’s always exciting when that white sail breaks the surface!
Marlin: Black and blue marlin are making appearances, but they’re more of a bonus than a target. We’ve had a few hooked up, but the bite hasn’t been consistent. Still, every time that line screams off the reel is a rush like no other.
Inshore and Bay Fishing for some of the best fishing we have to offer in the summertime.

Snapper: The snapper fishing has been excellent in the bay. We’ve been targeting mangrove snapper around the islands and rocky points. Live bait and artificial lures both work well. There are some real trophies hiding in those structures!
Roosterfish: The roosterfish action has been hot and heavy. These acrobatic fighters are a blast on light tackle. We’ve been finding them around the jetties, river mouths, and sandy beaches. Topwater lures and soft plastics have been producing consistent results.
Overall, August is an incredible month to be fishing in Puerto Vallarta. The variety of species, combined with the warm water and favorable conditions, make it a truly unforgettable experience. Whether you’re targeting big game offshore or enjoying the excitement of inshore fishing, there’s something for everyone.
