Puerto Vallarta is known for many things, one of the best is our famous fishing grounds in and around the bay of Flags. Once a port for pirates and is now a major angling site for fishermen from all over the world. Come down and discover what Puerto Vallarta fishing has to offer for the month of April.
For the anglers that have been here before in the month of April, you already know the fishing ig good during this month. Let's take a look at what we will be fishing for during the start of spring break in Puerto Vallarta. The marlin will be around, but mostly offshore. The Blue marlin moves into our fishing grounds around this time of the year. We have more striped marlin than blue marlin. The striped marlin like the cooler water so we always keep an eye on the water temperatures and where the larger baits are schooling. There will be some mahi-mahi action mixed in the marlin action and always fun to catch. The Dorados as they are called here in Mexico are some of the best eating you can find in any part of this fishing world we live in.
Around the reefs and a few honey holes we have marked here on our GPS there will be the amberjacks,grouper, snapper, bottom fish and the always schooling yellowtail. We love to jigs,use cut bait, lures and the all-time favorite live baiting on these fantastic fishing spots here close to Puerto Vallarta. There are few days that the fish will not bite here at these famous places we fish in April. The only problem we encounter is when we have strong currents. In April the sea are usually flat with no weather issues. One of the frequent questions I get every day is "is it going to be rough out there? " April bring lots of sunshine, flat seas and good fishing.
