Offshore Fishing

All of the same fish species that inhabit other areas of Mexico such as Los Cabos, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta are found here further south in the waters along the Costalegre. If you are staying in one of our Barra de Navidad condos your boat will leave from your own private dock. If you are coming in from Blue Bay Hotel, Careyes or another area, you will leave from the main dock in Barra de Navidad located directly behind the Cabo Blanco Hotel.

Although this area has typically been known as a Yellowfin Tuna area (we get some big ones), Dorado (Mahi, Dolphinfish), Wahoo and billfish species Pacific Sailfish, Striped Marlin, Blue Marlin, Black Marlin and even Spearfish are all found here.

The advantage of fishing in our area is that our water temperatures are consistently between 78 and 84 degrees, perfect conditions for these species. This is largely due to a warm water current, which comes across the South Pacific Ocean from Hawaii and hits land right about where we are. * This means that we have a lot more resident fish, as opposed to an area like Los Cabos where water temperatures have a 20 degree variance (65 to 85) over the course of a year, which results in more migratory fish and seasonal fishing. In other words, most of these species can be caught all year long here.

Tuna: Year round, more of them in the warmer water temperature months being May Through September.

Dorado: Year round.

Wahoo: Year round. Lots of islands, banks and seamounts here.

Striped Marlin: Year round, not as common as Blue Marlin, better chances in the coolest water temperature months, being October through January.

Blue Marlin: Year round, always a chance for a monster.

Black Marlin: Year round, more opportunity early fall through late spring.

Pacific Sailfish: Year round.

* We get less hurricane activity in our area than other coastal spots. Hurricanes, which are basically water generated tornados, develop further south and hug the shoreline as it comes up the Mexican coast. As they approach Manzanillo, just to the south of us, they hit this warm water current and veer offshore, following it along, trying to break through. It usually does, right near the tip of Baja California, which is why Los Cabos gets way more hurricane activity than we do.
