Puerto Vallarta fishing for Marlin and yellowfin tuna. We left the docks at 5 am and reached the Bank by about 6:45 am, there was bait all over as soon as we put the lines in the water we reeled in 5 bonita's rigged them up and starting trolling, live bait a couple teasers and black and purple black bart lures, at 8 am we had our first bite a huge dorado about 50 lbs , 5 minutes later we hooked a nice 60 lb Yellowfin tuna, then a big marlin struck it was a nice blue about 200 lbs we did not boat it but an hour later we had another strike this time a nice 400 + lb black marlin it took Mark about 2 hours to pull it in and i was surpized when he still had enough energy to nail 3 more tuna's after that! What a day we got to the docks around 6 pm total 1 black marlin, 6 yellow fin tuna and 1 big Dorado! tournement season is here and Puerto Vallarta will be holding its 54th anuual marlin and sailfish tournament November 12th here in the Marina Vallarta with over $300,000 dollars in prizes we should have a great turnout. this is the big Puerto Vallarta fishing season those 500 + marlins, and 300+ tunas you read about are always caught between September and December we are always excited to see what record fish will be pulled out of PV this year!
