Puerto Vallarta Fishing Report: June Start of the Rainy Season
Welcome to the most exciting transitional month on Banderas Bay! June marks the official arrival of summer water temperatures and the beginning of our tropical rainy season. While casual tourists sometimes worry that a bit of rain will ruin their plans, seasoned anglers know the absolute truth: The rain acts as a massive dinner bell for pelagic predators.
As the late-afternoon rains wash fresh nutrients and baitfish out of local rivers and into the ocean, the entire marine ecosystem hits a boiling point. If you know how to read the water right now, the sportfishing action is legendary.
The Inshore & Bay Report: Riding the "Trash Lines"
-
The Targets: Mahi-Mahi (Dorado) and Sailfish stack up heavily along these current breaks to hunt under the floating debris.
-
The Technique: We are having massive success slow-trolling live goggle-eyes and blue runners right along the edges of these lines. Lures and dressed bait yield results as well.
-
Family Trips: For our 4 to 6-hour family bay trips, we are also finding a steady, hard-fighting bite of Jack Crevalle, Bonito, and the occasional prized Roosterfish patrolling the rocky shorelines near Los Arcos and Punta Mita.

Offshore & Big Game Report: The June Giants Have Arrived
-
If you are hunting for true trophy class monsters, June is the month to book an 8 to 12-hour deep-sea charter. The water temperatures are climbing past 80°F ($26.6^\circ\text{C}$), drawing the biggest pelagic species straight to our offshore honey holes: El Banco and La Corbetena.
-
Yellowfin Tuna: The schools are running thick 55 mile offshore. We are targeting heavy-weight Yellowfin ranging anywhere from 100 to over 300 pounds. Specialized jigging, topwater popping, and kite fishing with live bait are delivering the best strikes.
-
Mariln Fishing: The Blue and Black Marlin are officially moving into the area following the warm water currents. We’ve already boated a few beautiful Blues breaching the 400-pound mark this week. High-speed trolling with colorful, skirted lures is working early in the morning, but switching over to live skipjack or bonito on the downriggers is what closes the deal when the sun gets high.
