Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Puerto Vallarta fishing report, straight from the dock. We’ve got classic early-summer conditions on the bay. Light morning breeze, building mid‑day, then laying back down toward evening. Air temps are running warm and sticky, sea surface hovering in the low‑80s Fahrenheit, just what we like for pushing bait in tight along the points and offshore structure. Sunrise is hitting early, with first usable light cracking the horizon not long after 6, and sunset giving you a nice long golden hour to work topwater. Tides today are on the mild side, more of a steady roll than a big dump. That means the key windows are going to be the last couple hours of the incoming and the first push of the outgoing. When that water starts to move across the reefs and river mouths, the bite has been turning on quick, then tapering off once the current eases. Inshore, the story this week has been **roosterfish**, **jack crevalle**, and **sierras** holding around current lines and bait balls. Roosters have been cruising the beaches near Boca de Tomatlán and down toward Cabo Corrientes, smashing mullet and small bonitos. Jacks are stacked in the mouth of the Río Cuale and Río Ameca when the tide’s running, with plenty of hard pulls for anyone willing to grind. Offshore, the boats working the outer edges of Bahía de Banderas and out to the banks have been seeing **sailfish**, **dorado**, and a few early **yellowfin tuna**. Recent trips are reporting multiple sailfish releases in a day when the water’s clean and blue, plus dorado in the 10–20 pound range under debris lines and around any floating structure. The tuna are still a bit hit‑and‑miss but there’ve been some solid fish for crews patient enough to stay on the life. For lures, keep it simple and loud. Inshore, big surface plugs and poppers in white, blue, and bone are pulling roosters right into the wash. Stickbaits and metal spoons burned fast are doing damage on the jacks and sierras. Soft plastics on jig heads, in natural baitfish colors, are a good backup when the topwater show slows down. Offshore, run a spread of small to medium skirted trolling lures in pink‑white, blue‑white, and green‑yellow for sails and dorado. Cedar plugs and feather jigs are still money for schoolie tuna. If you can find birds and breaking fish, switch to live bait or casting jigs immediately. Best baits right now are **live goggle‑eyes, mullet, sardinas, and small bonitos**. Slow‑trolled live bait just off the rocks and points is deadly on roosters. For the offshore bite, bridled live bait around any temperature break, color change, or floating trash is your highest‑percentage play. A couple hot spots to circle on your mental chart: – **El Morro and Corbeteña**: classic offshore structure, holding sails, dorado, and tuna when the water’s right. Work the edges, not just the high spot. – **Cabo Corrientes and the beaches around Boca**: prime roosterfish territory at first light and late afternoon, especially with any chop on the water and bait tight to the sand. If you’re fishing from shore, hit the rocky points at gray light with a medium rod and a surface plug, work fast, and be ready—most bites come in the first few cranks right in the foam line. That’s the word from the water. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next report. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
