Puerto Vallarta Fishing Report: August
Good day, fishermen. Captain Pete here, coming to you straight from the heart of Banderas Bay with your official August 2026 Puerto Vallarta fishing report! Late summer is officially peaking, and the fishing action across our Pacific playground is as hot as the August sunshine. Water temperatures are hovering right in the sweet spot between 82°F and 86°F, fueling non-stop feeding frenzies from the shallow shorelines out to the deep-water banks.
With 39 years navigating these coastal waters, our crew knows exactly where the fish are hiding and how to put you on them. We deliver top-tier tackle, uncompromised safety, and the best boats and prices in Puerto Vallarta. This month, our top five targets taking center stage are yellowtail, skipjack tuna, roosterfish, snapper, and mahi-mahi.

Punta Mita fishing report for May 2023
Here in the bay of Punta Mita when the water temperature gets to 78 degrees the fish move into the bay following all kinds of bait. Just to mention a few are mullet, goggle-eye, ballyhoo, shad, and some larger bait used for offshore fishing. To get the most out of your Nuevo Vallarta fishing trip be sure and have the proper fishing rigs. We like to set up for several kinds of fishing action before heading out to the close fishing spots. There will be numerous chances at casting as during this time of the season as we are more likely to see schooling fish than not. This type of fishing is enjoyable for all fishing anglers who can cast. There will be many chances of live baiting here in the bay and offshore. The fun thing I like about live baiting is never knowing what you are going to catch. Once we set out live bait you just don’t know what might strike the line. There will be sailfish, yellowtail, tuna, mahi-mahi, roosterfish, and many more pelagic fish during the month of May. We love to rig up some of the light tackle for bay fishing and keep a couple of larger rods and reels ready for when the big game fish show up. Trolling and jigging are fun ways to fish here in the bay. ThePunta Mita area is fantastic for bottom fishing as well. There is a huge river that feeds into our bay with fresh water. This has the effect to attract all kinds of bottom fish. We don’t do a lot of bottom fishing as most fishermen want to troll for a big game. We are more than happy to do both if anglers will let us know in advance.
Nuevo Vallarta fishing report February 2023
When February rolls around here in Nuevo Vallarta I always like to look back and see what we’ve done over these last few winter months. December was full of rod-bending action with fantastic weather and we had pretty much the same in January. The pelagic fish definitely have hung around this winter. We had temperatures get down to about 63 degrees early in the morning and then get up to a perfect 76 in the afternoon. I still laugh sometimes driving to work and see all my friends and neighbor’s in jackets with 63 degrees weather. We’ve been seeing these temperatures for the last couple of weeks and we’ll see him the same in February. Let’s take a look at what we’ve been catching here in Nuevo Vallarta over these last few winter months and what we can expect to catch in February.
