Punta Mita Fishing report for the month of 2024

  • Welcome to the June fishing report for Punta Mita, Mexico. This is the game-changer of all fishing reports, and you’ll soon see why. As the rainy season begins on June 15th and lasts until October 15th, some might think the rain slows our fishing. Not at all! The evening rains actually have a profound effect on the fishing, bringing pelagic fish and bait into our bay. If you find bait movement, you will find fish. Heavy rains can cause our rivers to flood, emptying debris into the bay. Sailfish, mahi-mahi, and even marlin love to hunt along these “trash lines,” where dark blue water meets off-colored water. Slow-trolling live bait is one of the best methods in these conditions. When you see ten boats working a fishing line as described above, you know the fishing is hot in this area.Punta Mita June fishing for Mahi-mahi

With heavy rains, it’s common to see large trees, small islands, and all sorts of debris floating in the bay. These create excellent fishing spots for dorados, sailfish, tuna, and various small game fish right in the bay.

Offshore fishing heats up in the summer months. While bay fishing is fantastic, if you want huge marlin and tuna, you need to head offshore. With the rainy season and summer approaching, the big fish are here for the taking. Some of our favorite fishing spots include Morro, El Banco, and La Corbetena. These honey holes are perfect for marlin, tuna, mahi-mahi, and sailfish. They may be farther out, but they are well worth the ride. There’s nothing like dropping a ten-pound bait off one of our Avet 2-speed fishing reels and waiting for the big one to hit first thing in the morning. In June, there are many ways to fish here. See our summertime rates for all boats.

For marlin, sailfish, and mahi-mahi, we love to start with top-water fast-speed lures, often running them with some natural baits. While fast trolling, we often see marlin, dorados, or sailfish come into our spread and check out all the baits. When they don’t bite, it’s time to deploy live bait. The key methods of deep-sea fishing in Punta Mita are:

  1. Live bait
  2. High-speed lures and skipping baits offshore
  3. Large live baits offshore for marlin and huge tunaTuna fishing in June Punta Mita,Mexico

Weather and Fishing Conditions

Every summer, I get countless calls about the weather. Clients see rain forecasts on Google Weather and think it will rain all day. However, Punta Mita rarely experiences all-day rain, mostly seeing rain in the evenings. Mornings might be overcast, but it almost always clears up for an exceptional day of fishing. Before any of our boats leave the dock, I check the weather for all our clients. With 38 years of accident-free fishing here, our record speaks for itself. If you need to speak with one of our captains about fishing conditions, weather, or what to catch in June, please give us a call. We are the only deep-sea fishing company where you can talk to a qualified captain every day.
