Puerto Vallarta fishing report 05/15/09
Sailfish Frenzy! We took out Bobby, Charles,
Mike, and Keith yesterday on the 2006 luhrs, the
Sirena With Captain Steve and crew Freddy and
Marcos. What a day right when We got around
the point of Punta de mita We spotted a nice
sailfish Marcos ran to the front of the boat casted
out some live bait and boom We had a sailfish
on Keith was first and did a great job reelled in a
nice 100 lb sailfish in about 15 minutes next we
found a nice school of dorado feeding off a small
tree branch floating about 10 miles north of the
point We caught 4 back to back enough to make
some fresh ceviche for lunch then We decided to
go and catch some more sailfish! We started
heading further north by guayabitos but the
conditions were so nice the water was like a lake
You could see for miles about a 30 minutes later
Captain Steve saw a couple sailfish sun bathing
about a 2 miles away from us he speeded up the
Sirena and 2 seconds later we were right on top
of them but could not get a bite on 50 lb test so
We tried with a 40 and boom the bigger sailfish
hit and hit it hard within seconds You could see
this beautiful fish fighting and jumping about 20
yards from the boat what a show! Mike nailed it
though reeling in this 98 inch sailfish like a true
pro it only took him 20 minutes to land it which is
not so easy on 40 lb test. We kept trolling north
following the birds and dolphins keeping a look
out for sailfish as we were trolling a nice striped
marlin hit a lure Captain Steve hit the throttle and
hooked a nice striped marlin about 120 lbs. After
that it was slow We did not see anything but
dolphins for a couple hours then just like that We
spotted about 5 sailfish jumping and swimming
Marcos hooked another one this one was bigger
then the first 2 though a nice female about 130
lbs after that we spotted a school of jacks picked
up a nice triple hook up and then called it a day.
but what a day 5 dorados,3 jack crevalle, 3
sailfish, and 1 striped marlin!
