Unbelievable experience with PV Sportfishing! Thanks so very much for an outstanding time. Out who found the dorado the first day and all other boats came to where we were after. This is experience at its best. Dorado after dorado with the biggest estimated to be 30lbs. Within 5 minutes the second day, we had our first dorado on and more followed. An hour later, BOOM, we hooked a marlin-what a fight! After forty minutes, we landed an estimated 160lb striped marlin. I never expected to catch a marlin but this dream was fulfilled with PV. The crews were OUTSTANDING-very friendly, very experienced and they tried extremely hard to find the fish and to assist in the process. Thank you PV Sportfishing and crew for perfect outings! Btw, don't be intimidated by what is offered in the hotels regarding fishing charters. Book with PV Sportfishing and you won't be disappointed. Norm Braddock Jan /21 /2010 |
Had a great day didn't get the big tuna I wanted but I will be back next year to try again the crew worked there ass off and the shark on the line was quite a rush. thank's for everything. Justin Ross February 17 2010 |
I had a great 2 days on the Sirena we caught 2 blue marlins, 4 sailfish 2 big tuna's and a couple big mahi mahi. thanks again Marco solidino Nov/20/2009 |
Everyone had a great time. Captain handled the boat amazingly well and we were never long between strikes once he settled into chasing the school of tuna. Crew were pros, always hustling, no downtime whatsoever, deck always cleaned immediately after any action. Hooked up a triple header and landed all three smooth as silk, the last of which was our second largest, approaching 5 feet and upwards of 120 pounds... We landed 7 tuna - all good fun and 2 of really good size Jason Terp Feburary / 28 /2010 |
Hi Damon, Congratulations to you and the crew of the Sirena. In 2 days of fishing, my son and I caught 25 dorado and one 70# tuna. All the dorado weighed in the double digit range, including the 50 lb. one my son caught. Of course, the one fish we lost in 2 days of fishing was a monster cow yellowfin; which I intend to find next year when I come back to PV. October 27th 2009 Ed Savco Click here for video |
Just wanted to write you a quick note and say thanks for taking care of my group's fishing needs in Puerto Vallarta we had a blast both days, and while I have done agreat deal of fishing charter in many places, your crew's were some of the friendliest and hardest working I have encounterered. Both boats tackle were in Excellent condtion, and all we could have asked more for the weather to lay down on tuesday. either way, thanks again and I will be sure and get back up witht you next time I or any of my friends, are in Puerto Vallart Best Seavy Dickson March/16/2010 |
Great crew, I felt really lucky to be out with captain Steve and the Crew was great we had alot of fun and landed a huge Marlin, I fought it for over 2 hour s and was exhausted. I was first on the reel and after 1 hour I was done. Thanks again to the crew! Thomas Pisker and Gennelly Wall March/21/2010 |
Damon salfish at the end of the trip was the best part. we were somewhat disappointed up to that point. the mahi mahis were fun to catch but didn't quite make the trip worthwhile. my husband will be talking about his sailfish for a long time to come and is already wanting to come back during the peak season. your guys were fabulous. they made great companions and were working so hard to make sure david brought that sailfish in. i hope we can fish with them again! thanks so much! it was a pleasure doing business with you and hope to see you again soon! Jana Millican 5/21/09 |
Damon, My son and I had a great time fishing with you and the crew. I wasn't sure what to expect my first time way out in the ocean, but the trip exceeded my expectations. The cabo was a beautiful vessel, the crew helpful and fun, and the captain obviously new where to find the fish. I am trying to put together a guys long weekend fishing in PV this fall, and will be calling/emailing you to schedule. You guys did a great job. Thanks so much, Scott Allen March/29/10 |
Steve and Damon, My wife and I want to thank you for the great fishing trip.The mahi was great on the grill.Had a little trouble getting through customs in the U.S. but it made it home still partially frozen. Captain Steve and his first mate were quite the pro's on the water, definantly know your stuff. My poor wife took two days to recover from the exhaustion of catching fish. That is a good thing. Go ahead and post the pictures on your web site. I have a guy, Bill Loudermilk, who I recommended to you guys. He will be heading your way to book a trip in October with his son. I may have a couple more clients to send you as well. I was hoping to buy a t-shirt with your charter company name on it. Do you have shirts? I would like to get a couple for me and my wife.I will be back next year with my sons and several other guys to do a double trip. You will hear from me then if not sooner. Thanks again, Kenny,Jaralyn Rennels 05/28/09 |
Thanks for a great charter We all had a great time that first sailfish is going on the wall what a fight thanks to everyone on the sirena and the charter We will see You next year for sure. Bobby Keith Mike charles 05/15/09 |
day started with a fast ride out to the fishing grounds. In the pouring rain Mike got to work and changed up the lures numerous times as the Captain saw different signs of fish. We ended up with 1 Black Marlin caught, 1 Blue Marlin Released At the end of the day I asked to catch some snapper, Well after 30 minutes we had 5 snapper and a grouper. It goes without saying me and my boys had the fishing adventure we were looking for thanks to your services Warm Regards, Howard Binder Glenview, Illinois April/10/10 |
To all the people of PV Sport fishing involved in our fishing trip I would like to say, and I speak for the other four in my partyas well, it was a four star experience. The boat and crew were all first class. The sandwiches were very good and we enjoyed it very much. Look forward to doing it again soon. Thanks once again. Fred Berrier 04/06/09 |
I have fished with alot of charters all over the world and Capatain Steve and Freddy are by far the best i have ever fished with I caught the head mounted. see full fishing report Brad Owings September/06/2010 |
The fishing trip was great! It was a true hunt for the Black Marlin in mid January and we succeeded with an 8 1/2 ft beauty. We also landed two dorado that were prepared at Victor's dockbar immediately after arriving back at the dock. Delicious! The boat was fantastic and knowledgable crew. We highly recommend this charter. Tom Bents 1/13/2009 |
Wanted to let you know we had a great time on Wednesday. My friend was able to land one nice 12' long Blue Marlin and unfortunately I lost a real nice tuna and a Black Marlin, which ran to another boats lines. That was a little disappointing but the fight was still something I have never felt before and will never forget. We were new to the big bill fish game and are now hooked....nothing compares! Freddy and the guys were great. It was a little slow in the morning, but Chava reminded us to be patient. Not long after that we hooked up and had fish on the rest of the day. Thanks again and we will be back! Michael Osucha September-15-2010 |
Hope all is well. The weather sucks here. It has been raining all f***in’ day. here are few photos from my trip we caught 4 sailfish and a mahi mahi. Check out the two additional pictures (third eye and road kill). Interesting, wouldn’t you say. James Eicher 4/30/2008 |
For years I've had the dream of catching a 200+lb Cow, but never dreamed that I the same trip! My wife, son Eric, and I fished with Captain Steve Torres and Crew Freddy and Javier on the Ana Maria Captain Torres and Freddy are so Passionate about catching big fish and are the best by far in my opinion I highly reccomend these guy's! Read full fishing report Larry Haynes Larry Haynes September -19-2010 |
I can't say enough about the captain and crew. They worked hard for us, and they even stayed out 2 extra hours at no extra cost just because they genuinely want to catch fish. Read full report Bradd Sawin October/2010 |
Hey Guys, I just want to let you know we had a fabulous time on the boat! The crew was great and the fishing was good.The memories will last a lifetime. We will be coming back to Vallarta I can assure you of that. I want to thank you and the crew for a wonderful time. I am recommending your service to all my friends and family. Thanks again Steven Barrera Corey Barrera Brandon Roth 6/15/2008 |
Great day of fishing! The whole crew never stopped working, and thanks to you it was the best day of offshore fishing we have ever had!! Amy fought this monster tuna from beginning to end (about 45 mins) on your top notch, light tackle, stand up gear!! In addition to this one - we also landed 6 dorado, as well as 7 other yellowfin tuna, and a bonus pacific sail! It certainly was the highlight of our vacation - and all we have been talking about for the last week!! Kudos to Capt Steve, - we are already talking about planning another trip for next year! We wish you guys luck in the big tourney - and will be cheering you on from home! -Scott & Amy November/04/2010 |
Client review Jan-10-2011 I cannot say enough about all the People involved with PV Sportfishing. I just got back from a 14 hour day aboard the Animal House and had a blast!!! I was supposed to Be aboard the Sirena but she had some motor issues, so Damon upgraded me to Salt water is hard on boats and the morning of my fishing day the Cabo also had some issues so Once again Damon was on it and Called up the Captain and Crew of the beautiful Cabo yacht Animal House. I think they were actually asleep when he called them but they were there in no time!! After leaving the docks it seemed like no time we were already 55 miles offshore and fishing. The Animal house hauls! It started off a little slow but around 12pm we had our first hook up. Flying the penn kite the captain hooked onto a beautiful Yellowfin tuna and the fight was on!! What incredible power those fish have see full report here |

originally booked 3 days on the smaller boat (The panga), but after 2 days Hector recommended a big boat trip. I was alone so felt it may be too expensive. They worked with me and it was the best trip I've ever taken. I caught 3 sail fish and 2 marlin with many other I was very pleased with the charters I booked. I had originally booked 3 days on the smaller boat (The panga), but after 2 days Hector recommended a big boat trip. I was alone so felt it may be too expensive. They worked with me and it was the best trip I've ever taken. I caught 3 sail fish and 2 marlin with many other hook ups and oppertunituies. We had 3 fish hooked up at one time. I pulled all three in. We spotted a marlin on top swimming slowly looking for food and Capt. Steve cast live bait to the fish and hooked him up with 30 lb test. Took me an hour to get that one in. I have booked with other companies in the past but this one was the best for me. Good luck, Dr. CLlifton L. Harris 06/22/07 |
Puerto Vallarta fishing Client review Jan-16-2011 I just wanted to take the time to post about the amazing in Puerto Vallarta on January 16th. Steve and his first mate Abel did a fantastic job getting us on Quality Yellowfin in Tuna. I have fished all over the world on some top notch boats, I have to say the Crew and equipment aboard the boat is the best I have ever seen. Seriously, no joke, the NICEST equipment I have EVER seen on a charter boat. These guys defiantly know their way around the PV water too. I HIGHLY recommend them for anyone looking for Big Game in Puerto Vallarta Watch Video Welden Stanford January 2011 Jan-16/11 |
My fishing trip! Felipe y Felipe were outstanding and had us hooked up with our first sailfish within 1/2 hour of setting lures. From the chatter on the radio, not too many other boats were having any luck, but we managed to pull in 2 sailfish at 120+ lbs each, and 1 striped marlin at over 100 lbs. I grilled up some of the marlin that night, and it was Muchas gracias para todos. I had a great time on delicious - this coming from somebody that does not like sea food at all. I packaged and froze the remaining meat and brought it home with me. FYI - may want to tell others to use a hardshelled cooler. I bought a cheap foam one, and the airport gave me a hard time. andrew_skwarla 08/02/07 andrew_skwarla 08/02/07 |
Hey Damon thanks for everything we had 2 great days as you know me and my wife went out with Steve and Freddy on the luhrs the first day I caught a 400 lb black marlin and a 340 lb yellow fin tuna by far the largest fish I have ever caught! so I went again on me and my wife's one year anniversary it was a little stormy in the morning and we caught a nice lighting storm but around 12 pm we got a double hook up we thought we had some nice tuna again but they both ended up being huge black marlins I will be back down soon and give everyone tattoo's thanks again Mark 9/27/2007 |

It was a great trip October 2. We ended up going on the Sirena with Capt. Steve and what a day I have attached photos for you. The black Marlin was est. at 560 lbs+, the sailfish was 9 ft. long and the Bull dorado was 64 inches. We caught 5 other dorado and asked Steve to take us to the dock early as we were slap worn out. My wife and I truly had the trip of a lifetime by any standards. If you can post these photos. Thanks Rich lowrance 10/2/2007 |
Puerto Vallarta fishing client review July/ 08/2011 I had great time on My Charter with Captain Steve Torres caught a huge 375 lb blue Marlin thanks guys! Jesse Mckinnon July/08/11 |
Thought I would share a few pictures that we took while on your boat in October 04. My son and I had a great time and were able to bring home fish, give a lot to the Captain and Mate and had to give some tuna to the girls who cleaned our room and they were very thankful rooms get the chance to have somebody give them a large piece of fresh fish.

Puerto Vallarta fishing client review August /13/2011 Hola Guys I had great time on the Super Panga Here are some of the fish pictures when I fished with Cesar! Enjoy fishing with Cesar! Great fishing! See you next trip.......... Regards, Sam Fillingame Augut/13/2011 |
Damon thanks for the great time fishing for two days in October 2007. My captain was the best, Steve Torres and Freddy the mate was great. Steve will catch you fish or die trying! I caught the biggest fish in my life with the 250 lb Tuna and just missed out on a huge Marlin. I never saw her, but with the size of the bait she took (8 lb skip jack) and the line that was peeled also caught my biggest Dorado ever, over 5 feet long. Day two was when we hooked up the Marlin and although she got off I still landed 8 nice Dorado all putting up great fights. You guys are the best and I look forward to coming back next year to get the big Marlin. Tight Lines Mark Koster 10/8/2007 |
25/2011 with client Larry Haynes Fished again this year with Steve and Freddy on the Ana Maria. BLUF: Feeling like the second luckiest guy in Vallarta - caught a couple cows last year and this year it was a 622lb Blue Marlin with Steve and Freddy's help. Met Capt Steve, Freddy, and our new amigo Joel at the light house at 0600. Then it was off to the rock. Read full fishing report Larry Haynes August/23/11 |

I wanted to do 3 day of fishing so I booked 1 day on a panga and 2 days with Captain Steve Torres Day 1 Wednesday Sept 28th on the Super panga, we hooked into a 550-600 pound Black Marlin. My buddy fought this fish for 5 hours getting in all the way to leader and released it.

I have got fish EVERY time I have been out with this guy! next fish I hooked into was a 250 pound Yellow fin. Perfect way to start the day off with a COW. I also landed a 150#. And 80 and 40 pounder the same day. My 2 buddies with me got 1 35# Yellow fin, one 150# yellow fin and 4 more Yellowfin 50- 110pounds. 25pound to 110 pounds 2- Very Nice sized Dorado.

PV Sportfishing Review 11/15/11 The boat and fishing were great. Got a Blue Marlin and alot of other fish. I will be back next year and will be contacting you to charter the boat again. Jim Pienta November/15/2011 |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review November 2011 I fished 3 days with PV Sportfishing in a Super Panga over fished in multiple locations and skippers. I was impressed with the captains knowledge and hard work. The quality of the gear on the boat as well as having a skipper that could locate fish made the outing extremely rewarding. The next time I am in PV I will be looking Cezar up. Mike Larocco November/30/2011 |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review December 2011 I fished with super panga the past 2 days and had 2 great days. First Day six beautiful tuna 40-70 lbs and next day more Roosters than we wanted. The crew fishes harder than any other fishing charter I have been with. See more photos Steven Charles December/08/11 |

PV Sportfishing review 01-24-2012 PV Sportfishing has once again delivered a super trip full of fish. The boat is a “Tuna Magnet” and his crew friendly and very very helpful. Days after the trip, I am still in shock that we caught so many fish. Approximately 25 tuna (we lost count) and one dorado including one 80 pounder and one 50 pounder with the remaining between 25 to 40 lbs. We did not require to stay out longer and if we did, no doubt there would be many more added on. We also fished all day Read more |
PV Sportfishing review 09-24-2012 Report by Roy Eise We chartered a 2005 Cabo Yacht on September 11th 2012 with Puerto Vallarta Sports Fishing (puertovallartafish.com) and our fishing trip with the "Animal House" was a huge success! We chartered for 12 hours, and all that they stated to us ahead of time, was all true. Everything was included as fishing license, bait, ice, cold water, clean and awesome yacht, and the best crew we ever could have asked for. We've fished before, but nothing like this. We caught a total of 7 very large (all over 100 lbs) Yellow Fin Tuna. This all happened within an hour and half (around 2pm) during our 12 hour charter. Read more |
PV Sportfishing review 09/29/12 Report by Kasey Kauff My friend and I went out sept 29, 2012 and had a blast. We caught multiple sailfish, tuna, and mahi. The crew was awesome and very helpful. I would recommend going with these guys any day! Hope to be back next year |
PV Sportfishing review 10/05/12 We just returned from our annual trip to Puerto Vallarta, and fished with Capt Steve , with outstanding results. This year's trip was no different than the past, when it comes to the phenominal expertise of the captain , the boat itself, and the brand new, custom built, Calstar Rods, and Tiburon SST reels - IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER!!! Capt Steve put us on fish, even though the weather conditions weren't favorable to catching fish - we caught fish when so many others came back empty handed. We caught a number of Yellow Fin Tunas (YFTs), and a handfull of bull and cow dorado during our fishing adventure. One of the YFTs was my wife's personal best of about 65lbs. We also had a shot at catching a very large Black Marlin. It looked to be about 600lbs. Unfortunately, it missed the hook and wrapped the leader around it's bill. Guess you can figure out who won that battle. Though we missed that big fish, I still felt good because I know how few boats can raise a fish read more |
PV Sportfishing review 09/23/12 On my last Carnival cruise Sept 23rd through Sept 30th 2012 with my lovely wife Karen to the Mexican Riviera, we stopped in Puerto Vallarta. My wife knows I love fishing and doesn't at all mind if I take time from our travels to fish where ever we go in the world. Weeks before we left, I contacted Damon through PV Sportfishing and I was lucky enough to book a fishing trip with Capt Hector on the Pcositas II. It was a very comfortable 29 foot super panga with a live bait tank, canopy, great gear and a great Capt plus a very excellent and,friendly deck hand. It started that morning late as I couldn't get off the cruise ship until 10:30am. I took a 5 minute taxi to the PV lighthouse where Capt Hector's very nice wife Mony escorted me to the marina read more |

PV Sportfishing review 08/15/12 The captain was on time, boat and equipment worked well, we took the family, 4-5 hr trip and even caught fish, all and all a great day. This was an easy and fun trip the PV Sport fishing crew did a great job! Mike Carpenter August/15/2012 |

PV Sportfishing review November 2012 I went out with captain Steve again this year and I caught a huge Marlin and Sailfish. Huge success once again thanks guy's Ken Setula November 2012 |
PV Sportfishing review August/29/12 My wife and I recently got the chance to fish with PV Sportfishing on August 21st at La Corbetana. The day started earlier to expect a later in the day bite. Sure enough, around noon we started getting hit trolling live baits and around 12:30 hooked our first tuna. While i was fighting the first fish we doubled up and hooked another about ten minutes in to my fight. We were able to put four 100 plus pound tuna in the boat, and got probably a dozen strikes. The captain even helped my 105lb wife reel in a tuna in the 130-150lb range. My wife usually doesn't enjoy long days on the water but she hasnever had more fun fishing than we had that day. I have fished with alot of different charters throughout Mexico, buI i have never had a better experience than i did with PV Sportfishing . The captain and his deckhand were constantly working like crazy to put us on the fish. He even made fresh Ceviche for us to eat on the boat, and prepared a ton of frozen tuna for us to take home.. read more |
PV Sportfishing review January 2013 Been with these folks about You get what you pay for! Have caught all the big fish, released all but a couple bills we hurt when hooked. I support catch and release. captain Freddy always gets you in the fishing grounds and works hard to get you fish.....the rest is up to the fish! Enjoy! Mickey Foreman |
PV Sportfishing review December 2012 I decided that I would charter a boat in order to go fly fishing in Puerto Vallarta. I emailed various charter outfits and the only one with experience was PV Sportfishing. I wanted an experienced skipper and needed to use his equipment. I spent 4 hours on the super panga fishing about 100 yards behind the surf line. The boat was a 29 ft. super panga, which was extremely comfortable. Caesar put me right on several schools of toro or bull fish. I landed about 4 or 5, all in the 10-15 lb. range. With a 7 weight rod, this was a fabulous experience. Next trip I'll try for a full day and seek Marlin, billfish and/or tuna and will charter a larger boat from PV Sportfishing. .Alexander Tucson |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review July 2013 I want to thank the captain and his crew for a great day of fishing. You were able to make my daughters first time out charter fish one that she will remember forever. Bryan Peirsol |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review June 2013 Bohannan and Lewis family took a little trip down to PV to do some fishing. We came up HUGE! Ended up with 2 Dorado, 1 Sailfish and 5 Yellow Fin Tuna on the boat. Ate some fresh toro on the boat once filleting on the boat. There was absolute chaos on the boat, but we worked well and were able to land all but one fish. Made a killing out there, looking forward to doing it again!! Roger Bohannan |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review October 2013 two big blues simultaneously "Both I and my son Benny ( my nephew Gibran was there cheering us on) hooked up on two nice blues within 5 minutes of each other. Thankfully, the older Ben got the chair and his son fought his stand up. Freddie the captain was a magician handling the with two Blues on simultaneously. He manuvered the boat like a matador, helping the old man at times and helping Benny when needed. For the uninitiated read full fishing review Benito Hourani, |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review October 2014 As far as I'm concerned, PV Sportfishing is the only one to book your Puerto Vallarta fishing trip with. PV Sportfishing goes out of their way to make your trip one that you will remember for a long time. I have NEVER been on a trip with Cesar without catching fish. Last time we caught 2- 50 pound tunas and a mahi mahi. I look forward to my next trip!!! Terry Arnold and Mary Ann Muck (mom) |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review January 2014 We caught 5 Mahi Mahi while we fishing in the rain with captain When you fish for Mahi Mahi you only troll so be prepared to sit and wait. Once you hook one, they are a great fight and fun. We also saw about 15 different whales and literally thousands of dolphins. The Capt stopped to let us watch the family of whales literally 30 -40 feet off the side of the boat. Just amazing... Callie G |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review June 2014 Just wanted to say a huge thanks to captain and the crew for an amazing day out on the Pacific (05/16/14). After 8 hours we had only caught some tuna and a huge Marlin broke the line!! We had almost given up catching anything else when, thanks to Cesar's quick reactions we caught two large sailfish!! I was delighted as I have always wanted to catch a sailfish. The whole day the crew were great and my wife, who doesn't fish, really enjoyed seeing the dolphins and turtles out at sea. The weather was perfect and the sea was calm. A perfect day. Chris and Eleanor Wylie |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review July 2014 I booked a three-day charter with PV Sportfishing to take our 16 year old grandson on a fishing trip for his birthday. They met all of my expectations and more. We had three exciting and fun albeit long days (14 hours each). But, they were productive. The skipper Luis and deckhands Alfredo and Carlos (not regulars on this boat) were excellent. They worked their butts off to get the catch of a lifetime for our grandson and he did. Over the three days he caught (and released) five Sailfish, Dorados, Yellowfin Tuna, Skipjack, and Rainbows. Weather was hot as expected but spectacular. Highly recommend this charter company and the crew. Albert Russell |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review August 2014 My brother and I booked a morning through PV Sportfishing and had the time of our lives! Got into the tuna that morning, Yellowtails and Bonitas. Captain and his crew of one were great. After a quick trip to Mismaloya to net some sardines we were out past Los Arcos and into the fish. The area was packed with charters but we all caught fish. There really was not a slow time in the 4 hours we were out. My brother's hope was to catch some tuna and eat them the same day. We did and had fresh sashimi and seared tuna steaks. What a nice addition to our trip to Mexico. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again. Thanks Damon for your great customer service in getting us lined up and hats off to Caesar and crew for the tight lines all morning! Mark Tesoro |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review September 2014 I booked a four hour in bay trip. Everything went as planned. Captain arrived on time at the dock. I was the only angler booked that day so I had the boat crew where very accomadating, attentive and polite. They did all the work, and I did all the fish fighting. NICE! We immediatley hooked into some Bonitas, we landed five all together and several Skip's. Between the dolphins, sea turtles, birds and landscape, the scenery was amazing. Thanks for an unforgetable trip, I will definatley be booking with you again . David M. Sigala |

Puerto Vallarta fishing review July 2014 We had a wonderful time. Luis and Alec were very friendly and accommodating. We are talking about coming back next year. It was a great experience. Angela & Colby Hamilton |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review October 2014 2 sailfish 1dorado and the black marlin were all caught on day 3 of my trips. Started trolling from punta Mita and got the first sailfish at 0830 . Continued out to la cobentera rock and caught several bonito in the 2- 3 lb class that we slow trolled, first bait was a eaten by a sail fish of about 75 lb. that was brought to the boat in about 10 mins. We then re set the baits and within 5 mins the large bonito was engulfed by my large black marlin . This was hooked on the 50 lb class stand up rod and tiburon 50 lb reel . I had brought along by braid brute buster harness and belt so elected to fight the marlin stand up, 1 and a half hours later with aching arms and back I was regretting that decision the marlin fought like a Damon with no jumps just long solid runs. 1 hour and 40 mins the fish was boated. I normally fish catch and release but the crew had other plans. By this time it was time to head back to port, but we put out some lures for the chance of a dorado, and that's exactly what i got a nice 25 dorado. With aching arms and back a very happy British angler enjoyed the ride back to puerto vallarta. We have just arrived home after a 12 hour flight, will be submitting a claim to the igfa for a pacific slam certificate. Thanks for your help damon. Best regards Dave roberts United Kingdom |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review October 2014 I have been out on many many charters all over North America for all kinds of fish, and lets first take catching fish out of the equation, service, hard work and friendly fun atmosphere is what you will find on spotlessly clean boats is what you can expect. Fish, (I never will blame a charter for poor fishing, if you fished enough I needn't explain) With that said, after 8 trips over 2 years With PV Sportfishing and we have caught fish! Sailfish, wahoo,Dorado (one that was 63 inches) Marlin, (one was 600 lbs, mine :), these guys NEVER stop working to put you on the fish and bend that rod. This is now an annual trip for me.

Puerto Vallarta fishing review October 2014 First of all let say that you can not beat Damon's customer service. We missed our flight and our trip was scheduled for the following day. Damon was quick to respond via email and a phone call. He arranged another trip for us. Our captain and his deck hand did a great job. We hooked and landed 2 sail fish 1 Bonito and a Mahi Mahi we hooked a Marlin but he got away. We had fresh ceviche made on the boat and of course don't forget cold beer all this was requested from us for an extra fee but all worth it. If you want the best go with PV Sportfishing! Damon & Cesar are the ones to go with! See more fishing photos Erica Lucio |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review October 2014 We were staying in Sayulita and I wanted to book an all day fishing charter on the Animal House.After numerous emails Damon was able to get us booked. We sealed the deal in a PEMEX parking lot outside of Sayulita. Thank you Damon for all your extra effort!! We departed the dock the following morning. We ran out to Corbateena to start the day of fishing. This is a very nice fishing machine. The ride out was not only fast but very comfortable. My wife is disabled because of her back and she didn't complain all day about the boat ride (11 hours). We started fishing and 6 hours later we still had not had a bite. read full Puerto Vallarta fishing review |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review December 2014 We had a great time fishing on the Magnifico! We caught plenty of fish ... Three Jack Caravelle's, about 30 pounds each, and 6 Makerals. They all tasted delicious last night too!!! Damon was great at helping us finding a boat last minute and replied very quickly to all my emails. And the crew was awesome. We even got to see some humpback whales and sea turtles on our journey. Plus the boat was spotless! Pristine! And the equipment was first class too. We just went fishing in bora bora last month and it was incomparable. Reviewed December 2014 |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review December 2014 I'll start by saying that Damon is very responsive during the planning process - always replies to emails promptly. My wife and I arranged a day of fishing with on the super panga Pacific. We booked 6 hours with the option to upgrade to 8 hours depending on how the fishing report was. We were met by Cesar promptly at the marina at the scheduled time of 7am. Fishing report was kind of spotty and it was decided that 8 hours would be better to get both more time on the water and allow us to get to a more productive location. Departed the Los Peines pier and headed out into the bay - up the Nuevo Vallarta side and out toward Las Marietas and Punta Mita. Saw some humpbacks, including a baby, fairly close to the boat. Also saw some manta rays jumping out of the water. Both of those sightings read full Puerto Vallarta fishing review December 2014 |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review January 2015. We booked Animal House for a 12 hour trip. I and Luis. It didn't take long before the fish started to bite.

Told him we should look for sailfish next, took me right to where they were. Very friendly, nice equipment, found all the fish I could ask for. What more could I want. Definitely a 6 star trip. reviewed August 2015 Richard B |
Puerto Vallarta fishing review August 2015. What a great experience. My husband, myself and a friend went out for a 4 hour trip and had a wonderful time. The captain made fresh ceviche for lunch and both of the guys each caught a fish. The booking process was easy and the boat was exactly what we had chosen online. Great day fishing and a wonderful way to see the marine life in Banderas Bay. Reviewed August 2015 Rebecca M |

Puerto Vallarta fishing review October 2015 Two of us chartered captain Steve Torres (my marlin) for a 36 hr fishing trip to the "banks" for Marlin and Tuna. This was no ordinary fishing trip. it was a adventure! The 400lb plus Blue Marlin struck the first night, at sunset (8:00 pm). It took 2 1/2 hrs to get that damn fish to the boat in pitch darkness! Unfortunately that beautiful fish expired in the end (didn't go to waste). The next dayy m friend hooked into a 200lb tuna. It took about 1 hour to get that fish onboard. read full Puerto Vallarta fishing review October 2015 |

Puerto Vallarta Fishing Review December 2015 December is, according the several fishing calendars I checked, an excellent month for sport fishing in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Puerto Vallarta fishing review January 2016 My dad and I booked three, 10 hour fishing trips in the week we were in Mexico with PV Sportfising just before Christmas. We have always wanted to catch bill fish but we knew that they wouldn't come easy and fishing is a patient game. We met our crew of Marcelino and Alejandro at Los Peines pier at 6am on the first day, they were quiet but prepared, they looked like they knew what they were doing. we were on a 29ft super panga which took us 2 hours to get to where we would begin to fish. within half an hour we had a follow on our bait which we believe was a striped marlin but it didn't take. We caught a bull dorado a few hours later and everything was quiet after that barring another follow from a marlin, you could see the bill come out of the water and take the bait, it only bit off the back half of the bait though so we were 6 inches away from hooking it. The skipper then took us into the bay and dropped a live bait, Puerto Vallarta fishing review January 2016 |
November 2016 There are only three places on the globe which have world class Black Marlin. Australia, Panama, Mexico. PV in October and November is second to none. I've made it a annual pilgrimage.

Puerto Vallarta fishing review May 20 2017 Before we vacationed in Pt. Vallarta I looked for 3 or 4 days trying to find a fishing charter. I finally went with Pt. Vallarta Fishing. They were very easy to work with and replied quickly to my emails. On May 18th we arrived at the dock at 7 am for an 8 hour trip and the infamous Capt. Scoobey was already waiting on us and quickly asked what we were hoping to catch.

Puerto Vallarta fishing review October 2017 I wanted to let you know that I had a GREAT time with Captain Scooby and Fernando last Sunday on our fishing trip.
