 Tuna
time, the tuna are back in any size you want! Ya know writing a weekly fishing
report here in Puerto Vallarta is sometime challenging. Not because I have to
walk to the docks and find out what's going on and where, if anything. It's how
to put into print the different ways to say that Puerto Vallarta is wide open!
And, that's the way it is right now. Tuna is at the top of
the list, as many 80 to 100 pound tuna as you want. After getting that out of
your system, drop down a skippy about 90 feet, put a couple on your long riggers
and get ready because the big boys are back and it's about time. After a "here
today, gone tomorrow" season of Giant Yellowfin along with blue water, it
seems like they are here to stay, at least through November. The 80 to 100 pounders
will mostly be eating 5 to 9 inch lures, they are a bit finicky and will change
color preferences from day to day (anyone who says fish are color blind, is crazy
or has never fished). Black & purple one day, the nest day only bright colors.
The change in preference is not due to the weather conditions, bright & sunny
with blue water daily but still the color does make a difference. The giants are
eating live bait. The Bank is the hot spot now and wahoo
will also be picked up while trolling lures for medium size tuna early. The wahoo
seem to be shutting down at around 10:00 am and most definitely done by 11:00
am. So, lures are a good way to go early if you want some fast & furious action,
not to mention some of the best food fish you can imagine! Marlin
are being caught in good numbers at Corbetania & the Bank this week, even
though not the primary target. 9 black and 4 blue marlin between 4 boats that
fished for the giants & marlin with live bait. I love that about Puerto Vallarta,
put out some big live baits and 3 to 4 different species; all big, could end up
eating the bait.  On
a completely different note, the annual Pez Vela Tournament (sailfish) is just
around the corner. The turn out this year is expected to break the records. Numerous
Automobiles & prizes will be awarded. Tonya and I will be fishing and totally
expect to drive away from the awards banquet this year. If you have never fished
the PV Sailfish tournament held by the Club de Pesca November 21st, 22nd &
23rd, you are missing a great time! The spectator turnout is fabulous. So, when
you come to the scales with a fish, you think may be the winner, you have a live
audience to show off in front of. If you have ever fished a tournament and weighed
a fish, you know that pride and ego are major parts of the fun. Well, that's about
all for now. If you would like more information about fishing tournaments contact
