Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner, there’s an adventure waiting for you. Let’s explore what the waters around Punta Mita have in store this September.
The Bay: For those seeking a relaxed yet rewarding fishing experience, the bay around Punta Mita is the perfect spot. A half-day trip aboard a 28-foot super panga can bring in a variety of catches, including snappers, grouper, amberjack, and mahi-mahi. This trip is ideal for families or beginners, offering the thrill of fishing close to shore. You can also customize your outing with options like snorkeling, visiting hidden beaches, or sightseeing. It’s a fantastic way to combine fun and fishing for everyone.
El Morro: If you’re in search of deep-sea excitement, El Morro is where you want to be. An 8-hour excursion will take you into open waters, where marlin, sailfish, mahi-mahi, and tuna are ready to test your skills. September is prime time for this adventure, with large marlin and big dorados making their presence known. Make sure to bring plenty of live bait for this thrilling challenge.
Corbetena: Corbetena is the go-to destination for serious anglers, known for its wealth of trophy fish. This offshore trip is your chance to reel in big game like marlin and tuna. It’s a dream spot for many fishermen, offering an experience you’ll never forget. Our preferred method here involves using live 10-pound chorros on a long line or short downrigger, often leading to catches of massive tuna, marlin, and even giant snappers. The excitement of a snapper taking down a 10-pound bait is something you have to experience!
El Banco: Recognized as one of the world’s premier fishing spots, El Banco is a must for those seeking the ultimate angling adventure. This 12-14 hour trip is perfect for crossing a big catch off your bucket list. From El Banco, you can even catch a glimpse of the Maria Islands, famous for their history as a prison colony. With the prison now closed, the islands are set to become a resort destination in the coming years.
