Puerto Vallarta fishing report 05/15/09Sailfish Frenzy! We took out Bobby, Charles, Mike, and Keith yesterday on the sirena 2006 luhrs, the Sirena With Captain Steve and crew Freddy and Marcos. What a day right when We got around the point of Punta de mita We spotted a nice sailfish Marcos ran to the front of the boat casted out some live bait and boom We had a sailfish on Keith was first and did a great job reelled in a nice 100 lb sailfish in about 15 minutes next we found a nice school of dorado feeding off a small tree branch floating about 10 miles north of the point We caught 4 back to back enough to make some fresh ceviche for lunch then We decided to go and catch some more sailfish! We started heading further north by guayabitos but the conditions were so nice the water was like a lake You could see for miles about a 30 minutes later Captain Steve saw a couple sailfish sun bathing about a 2 miles away from us he speeded up the Sirena and 2 seconds later we were right on top of them but could not get a bite on 50 lb test so We tried with a 40 and boom the bigger sailfish hit and hit it hard within seconds You could see this beautiful fish fighting and jumping about 20 yards from the boat  what a show! Mike nailed it though reeling in this 98 inch sailfish like a true pro it only took him 20 minutes to land it which is not so easy on 40 lb test. We kept trolling north following the birds and dolphins keeping a look out for sailfish as we were trolling a nice striped marlin hit a lure Captain Steve hit the throttle and hooked a nice striped marlin about 120 lbs. After that it was slow We did not see anything but dolphins for a couple hours then just like that We spotted about 5 sailfish jumping and swimming Marcos hooked another one this one was bigger then the first 2 though a nice female about 130 lbs after that we spotted a school of jacks picked up a nice triple hook up and then called it a day.but what a day 5 dorados,3 jack crevalle, 3 sailfish, and 1 striped marlin! see more info
