Puerto Vallarta Mexico fishing report September 2026
As our fishing boats start the September fishing season of 2026, the rainy season is ending soon, and the fishing in Puerto Vallarta is absolutely on fire! September 2026 has been delivering some truly incredible action, with a wide variety of pelagic species making their presence known across Banderas Bay and deep into the open Pacific Ocean. The weather throughout September 2026 has been beautiful—sunny morning skies paired with refreshing afternoon or evening showers that are actually boosting our local action on the water.
A Look at the Rainy Season. Many anglers contacting us this September 2026 ask about the rainy season, which runs from mid-June through mid-October. They often worry that daily rain forecasts will ruin their trip, but the reality on the water is quite different. The rain typically falls late in the day or overnight, making it a massive benefit to our local fisheries. The runoff from the surrounding Sierra Madre mountains washes a rich flood of organic nutrients into Banderas Bay and offshore. This influx of food draws in huge schools of baitfish, which in turn attracts all the larger game fish that make fishing in Puerto Vallarta famous worldwide. This nutrient surge is a little-known secret that makes September 2026 one of the best times of year for anglers visiting Mexico. The rainy season actually makes the fishing in Puerto Vallarta better, bringing big pelagics closer to shore and making them significantly more active. If you are looking for the best fishing prices in Puerto Vallarta, this late-summer stretch offers incredible value across our entire fleet, whether you prefer short family outings or deep-sea trophy hunts.
