 Welcome
back! This week, the big news is Giant Yellow fin tuna,
it’s wide open 200-lbs plus yellow fin.
Mark your calendar for next year
also because this is the time of the year, year after
year, when the big tuna are thick here in Puerto Vallarta
and will stay until the end of November.
Live bait is what’s hot now
for the giants, the problem is catching the skipjacks!
Between the amounts of boats fishing Corbeteña
along with the incredible amount of giants eating everything
in sight, bait is hard to catch.
Getting out early will insure at
least a few baits caught prior to the boat noise driving
the bait down deep jigging will also produce bait strikes
but it’s hard at Corbeteña.
The Bank is a different story, the
giants being in closer keeps most of the boats from
making the longer more costly run out to the bank. That’s
a mistake. The Bank has more fish, more bait and less
boat traffic.
Captain Steve had a three-day charter
this week, the first day at Corbeteña was pretty
good, a 400-lb black marlin tail wrapped that took 3
hours to get to the boat, and two tuna approximately
300 lbs. each.
The next days to EL BANCO! The two
days produced two more black marlin along with four
250 plus tuna, one weighing approximately 390 lbs. Capt.
Freddy aboard “Mi Jenny” had a charter Wednesday,
one hook-up, one fish, a giant 375-pounder.
Fluorocarbon leaders are still the
secret, if you don’t have it, buy it! But no matter
what you have to do, if giant yellow fin tuna are what
you want, get out NOW.
Now for a bit of good news, Daniel
has returned to Master Baiter’s Sport Fishing
and Tackle. This is a long overdue reunion that has
everyone at Master Baiter’s excited, as you know,
if you are a weekly reader, Daniel was the manager of
MBS for approximately two years. Due to personal reasons
Daniel had to leave for a while but now he’s back,
so if you need to book a charter or if you want any
info call or come by Master Baiter’s and talk
to Daniel.
If you want a 4- to 6-hour trip, now is also good for
that, Los Arcos has Mahi-mahi or Dorado to 25-lbs along
with sailfish, so a short trip is a good choice if time
or budget is a bit limited.
Pictures of the giant yellow fin
are from Bryan Potts. He went out with Capt. Freddy
on Saturday to Corbeteña and caught it without
any help! This beautiful giant was estimated at more
than 6’4”and almost 400 lbs.
