Fishing Adventures in Puerto Vallarta: What's Biting This June

1. Inshore Action: Beating the Heat in the Shallows

Inshore fishing at the end of June is all about timing the tides and the sun. The afternoon sun can heat up the flats quickly. Therefore, the best action happens during early morning and late evening trips.

• Top Targets: Reds (Snook/Skipies, Toro depending on your region), small mahi, and Mangrove Snapper.

• Where to Look: Focus on shaded structures like docks, mangrove lines, and deeper channels where the water stays a bit cooler.

• The Go-To Bait: Live shrimp and finger mullet are foolproof right now. If you prefer artificials, topwater lures at first light are producing explosive strikes.

  
  

Pro-Tip: Look for active bird life or flickering baitfish on the surface. If you find the bait, the game fish are usually waiting underneath.

2. Offshore Deep Blue: The Big Guns are Out

If you want to fill the freezer and test your stamina, it's time to head offshore. The warm June currents have brought the pelagic species close enough for thrilling full-day and half-day trips. Expect to spend at least 8 hours out, up to 26 miles offshore.

• Top Targets: Mahi-Mahi (Dorado), Yellowfin Tuna, and Groupers on the bottom.

• The Strategy: Trolling weed lines and temperature breaks is paying off big for Mahi and Tuna. If you find floating debris, get ready for chaos—they love to school up under cover.

• Bottom Fishing: If the topwater troll slows down, dropping live or cut bait over structural reefs is yielding massive Snapper and Grouper.
