Fishing Seasons in Puerto Vallarta: When to Plan Your TripThanks to warm tropical waters and a stable climate, fishing is excellent 365 days a year in Puerto Vallarta. However, certain seasons shine for specific species. Peak big-game action happens from January to June, while summer brings inshore excitement. Here's a seasonal calendar to guide you:
Month
Best Bites
Notes
January–March
Marlin, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna
Peak billfish season; cooler waters attract big game offshore.
April–June
Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Roosterfish
Transition to warmer waters; great for offshore and inshore mixes.
July–October
Roosterfish, Mahi Mahi, Skipjack Tuna
Inshore dominates; ideal for shore and rock fishing.
November–December
Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi
Cooler influx brings variety; excellent deepwater action.
Overall, winter through spring (January–June) is prime for trophy fish like Marlin and Sailfish, with tournaments adding extra excitement. Summer offers inshore variety near river mouths, and fall provides consistent bites for families and beginners. At





FishingRebels.com, our charters are tailored to these seasons—book now for the 2026 peak!  
  • Offshore Techniques (for Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo): Trolling is king—use live bait like skipjack or feather rigs at 300–600 feet depths. Slow trolling works wonders for billfish. Kite fishing adds an edge on calm days for surface feeders.
  • Inshore and Nearshore Techniques (for Roosterfish, Jacks, Snapper): Bottom fishing over reefs with jigs or cut bait for Snapper and Grouper. Casting lures from shore or boats targets Roosterfish and Mackerel—try poppers or spoons for explosive strikes.
