SPORT FISHING ENTHUSIASTS ENJOYED

THE THREE DAY CHALLENGE OF THE 53RD

PUERTO VALLARTA SPORT FISHING

TOURNAMENT (PEZ Y VELA), NOVEMBER 12-

15TH. WINNER IN THE MARLIN CATEGORY

WAS A 303 POUNDER (133KG)! THE 46

POUND (20KG) MAHI AND 144 POUND

(63KG) YELLOWFIN TUNA WON THEIR

RESPECTIVE CLASSES AND THE LARGEST

SAIL TAKEN WEIGHED IN AT 98POUNDS (43

KG). JUST OFF THE POINT OF PUNTA MITA

ON THE NORTHEND OF BANDERAS BAY

THE FISHING HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY

RELIABLE FOR LOTS OF MAHI, FOOTBALL

YELLOWFIN, AND SAILFISH. LAST WEEK,

THE SIRENA SPORTFISHING CREW, ON A 10

HOUR TRIP, SUCESSFULLY TAGGED AND

RELEASED AS MANY AS 7 SAILFISH IN THE

65-100 POUND RANGE. SAILFISH ARE

HITTING DEAD BAIT WHEN TROLLING BUT

THEIR PREFERRED 'TAKE-OUT', IS FLYING

FISH; SO THE RIGGED GOGGLE EYES WITH

PINK AND GREEN SKIRTS MAKE AN

EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE MENU

OFFERING. SURFACE-FEEDING, MAHI AND

SAILFISH ARE HAMMERING LIVE BAIT AS

WELL.SIRENA's CREW SPOTTED THE FIRST

STRIPED MARLIN OF THE SEASON AT

CORBETENA ON A RECENT TRIP BUT

TAGGED 3 MARLIN AND SAILS FOR THE

DAY. BOATS AROUND EL BANCO, SINCE

THEN, ALSO ARE REPORTING MORE

SIGHTINGS OF STRIPERS. THESE EARLY

SIGHTINGS BODE WELL FOR THE COMING

SEASON FOR GREAT SPORT FISHING IN

PUERTO VALLARTA. THE SPINNER

DOLPHINS ARE TRAVELING WITH GOOD

SIZE YELLOWFINS .SLOW TROLLING WITH

LIVE 'SKIPPIES' (JACKS) AND LOTS OF

TEASERS BRINGS FISH UP. CHANGING TO

FASTER TROLL SPEED USING DEAD BAIT

AND LURES ALSO WORKED WELL WITH

MAHI AND SAILFISH.

THE WATER IS CLEAR BLUE, CLEAN AND

WARM. THE WEATHER IS FINALLY

COMFORTABLE AND FOLKS ARE BRINGING

IN FISH EVERYDAY. ROOSTERS AND JACK

CRAVELLES ARE WORKING THEIR WAY

NORTH AND A DAY ON THE WATER IS

BETTER THAN ANY DAY AT WORK! PLAN A

DAY OR MORE FISHING WITH THE

EXPERIENCED CREW OF THE SIRENA,

AND'.REMEMBER TO TAG AND RELEASE

ALL BILLFISH TO HELP PRESERVE THE

STOCKS FOR THE FUTURE ENJOYMENT OF

ALL. by Dan Gilmartin
