Puerto vallarta fishing Janurary -1-2010
Captain Steve Torres has been putting the boat out
daily for extreme offshore hookups of Sailfish, Blue
and Black Marlin and more Yellowfin than you can
hold in your coolers. Hooked and Released this past
week were a 650 lb. Blue and a 700 lb Black Marlin.
At El Banco, the tuna catch has been off the hook in
the 50-250 lb. range. A real nice Alice Tuna
weighing 240 lbs was caught by angler, Dan Gentles
from New Jersey , Christmas Week. Don’t see those
too often! There is plenty of Dorado/Mahi for the
taking in a wide range of weights- more than enough
to make a good day of fishing. Inshore, you can
usually hook up Roosters, Toros (Jack Cravelle),
Bonita, Spanish Mackerel, Snappers and Skippies.
The tuna have been sticking around due to cooler
water temps this season. El Nino or climate change-
don’t know but it makes for great fishing days this
month!
On December 18-19, boat Owner Dan Gilmartin;
son, Cory Gilmartin; and Dan Gentles took an
overnight trip to El Banco from the dock at Paradise
Village, Nuevo Vallarta. After hooking up bait of
Skipjack and Bullet Tuna in the Bay of Banderas we
were off to chase the Yellowfin at El Banco. Arriving
at 8:30am, they began the slow troll. By 9:00 am we
had the first Yellowfin strike and reeled in a 90
pounder. By the end of a crazy day we hauled in 9
Yellowfin Tuna with a total weight of 640 pounds!
This was a Top Ten Day for Captain Steve and First
Mate, Freddie on the Sirena. The catch had to be
unloaded at Punta Mita by 11:00pm so the boat
would have room for more! By 4:30am, Sirena was
fast trolling lures and brought up a Marlin by the
time we hit El Banco. A beautiful sunrise and perfect
bay weather presaged another perfect day. Lots of
birds working north landed us right in Tuna territory.
The Bullet Tuna bait worked best and by 2:00pm
another 14 Yellowfin Tuna were boated. Dan
Gentles was renamed “THE TUNA-NATOR” by the
crew! He landed 80% of the catch, all standing up,
with the hat-trick, 245lb Alice Tuna --the last hook-
up of the day on the way in. Folks, that’s 1,400
pounds for 23 tuna caught in two days! This trip was
TEAM WORK at its best!
The experienced team of Captain Steve and First
Mate Freddie are a wonder to watch in action. It’s a
well orchestrated show from running the boat,
finding the fish, handing the rods off, and boating
the catch. Remember that memories of a Great
Fishing Trip
