Frenzied Dorado Invade Vallarta Fishing Grounds, Yellow Tuna at Corbeteña
We all know that this has been another El Nino year and because of this simple fact we continue to see changing water currents and fishing conditions. This past week we’ve seen all sorts of things at the Puerto Vallarta Fishing Grounds.
Let’s start with El Banco and Corbeteña. Both famous for producing Monster Yellowfin and Black Marlin have taken it on the chin this year. With Hurricanes and tropical storms dancing around Puerto Vallarta, it´s been hard to call what fish are out there and where they are. It would be easier to say where they aren’t. When it comes to these two areas things have been running hot and cold. Water temperatures have crept up to 87 degrees or higher which is not a YFTunas friend. So for a few days they both ventured off into more comfortable conditions. But this is not to say that there are no fish at El Banco or Corbeteña, quite the opposite. In fact if you´re at Corbeteña you´re seeing Yellowfin Tuna in the 60 to 80 lb range and they´re hungry. You can expect three to five of these babies in a ten hour trip. Same old way, trolling, Kites, live bait and petrileros for lures and you´ll have a day. Now if you’re interested in Dorado, aka Mahi Mahi, they’re running larger than average and anywhere from 25 to 60 lbs, they taste great. Black Marlin are here as well, but kinda sparse. Sailfish can be up to 130 lbs at both locations and of course there is always the Cubera Snapper waiting for you at the high spots at El Banco and the structure at Corbeteña. If you’re heading out this way, remember to bring a well equipped bag of tricks with you, that included a kite or you may come back wishing you had hit the tackle store before you went out.
Closer in, it’s been Dorado City. I don´t care where you are, they are. El Morro, the Marietta Islands and the point off Punta Mita have been taken over by Dorado. The numbers are so thick at the moment if you´re not dead set on Yellowfin or Marlin, why head out those extra fuel cost miles when you have Sailfish, Dorado, Jack Crevalls and a host of other fish to choose from here? Live bait is king of course with Google eyes being the best bet as of now. But don’t ignore the Chorras or bait sized Bonito or Skip Jacks. Frankly, everything is working for Dorado, the only thing missing is you amigos.
Inside the Bay has been magic. Now I don´t say that much as you know. We all know there is always fish in the Bay, but we also know they´re smaller by comparison when you look at the variety of fishing offered in Vallarta. But this week was different, I had clients head out to Yelapa and in the picture you can see the results. This was Cole Brook who caught this nice Mahi with Capt. Chema on the left and first mate Jimmy in the middle. So just four miles off Yelapa you can catch something that was close to a record for a 12 yr old angler! Sails are here as well, so what the heck, hit the afternoon bite and have some fresh fish for dinner. This sort of thing last a very short while, so get out there before things get back to normal!
