Surf Fishing Puerto Vallarta, Mexico November 2018

[@brianehlers2929]

Heading down in a few weeks and will be fishing in the surf! I thought the water would be more blue

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

Good luck my friend!!!

[@tenkarapondfishing4611]

Loved your video. Question. My wife and I will be staying in PV on the beach in April. I am an avid angler, live in Atlanta and don't normally have the opportunity to surfcast. I have a MH 7' four piece travel rod paired to a 4000 Shimano reel. This really is a freshwater bass setup. But, that setup looks very similar to what you were using. Do you think this will work for me in PV at that time of year, or should I invest in a bona fide surfcasting combo? Thanks!

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

You could use that setup and just focus on casting small baits for smaller fish, like the ones I caught in this video. However depending on the spot it is possible to encounter big jacks and perhaps even rooster fish in the PV area. You’ll probably get spooked if you accidentally hook into one of these big guys!

[@thc152]

Great video. I’m heading to PV in March. Can you provide any tips where can I go shore fishing in PV? Thank you in advance.

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

I had good luck at Los Muertes beach. Have fun!

[@lagartogrande1908]

Lookin good. Surf fishin, SO much fun. What kinda set up are you usin? Ayyy, buen comida is right !

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

In this video I was using a Van Staal VR50 (www.themightyfish.com/collections/surf-reels/products/van-staal-spinning-reel-vr50?_pos=2&_sid=c274157a4&_ss=r) with a 7' Tsunami 3-piece Travel Rod TSCS703M

[@emmithoyl3608]

You cracked the code! I was down in Punta de Mita last January and had the same frustrating experience. Never saw anyone catch one of those jacks (myself included) for a whole week. Then one evening I watched a local guy nail it with the casting net and bring in about 10 in one throw. Did have luck with a Sierra mackerel on a 3” yozuri deep diver mackerel color. Thing that struck me most about the whole trip was the massive amount of trash in the water. Couldn’t go swimming without getting wrapped up in it. Sad what we’re doing to the planet...

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

The guys with the cast nets were creaming the jacks this morning. Lots of nice size fish in the 4-6 pound range being caught. Right now metal spoons of about 3-4 inches in length, and 1.5 inches in width are working best. I'd love to get a sierra mack! Fortunately there's no trash in the water where we are. Tight lines!

[@danielsepulveda912]

I went to Sayulita last spring and I was surf fishing, most of the people didnt catch anything but thanks to my Sabiki Rigs I was the lucky one

[@thc152]

Cool video. I was in the area last May and saw locals catching fishes off the surf and wish I had my gears with me. Will be heading back this year and definitely bring my gears with me. Do you carry-on your travel rod or you check-in with your luggage? I heard the airport in PV will not let you carry-on your fishing rod even is travel size and like to double check. Thanks.

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

I typically check my travel fishing rods, and don’t carry them on with me. Gluck!!!

[@smokster0604]

No stink on the VR 50 gotta love it.....nice place what a view

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

I love the view and I love the VR50. Great little reel. Thanks for watching!

[@malaytith1676]

Cape cod I have a question? What do u recommend on reel, I fish Botha saltwater n freshwater. Should I get that Van Staal VR 50 or a different reel.? Also what do u recommend for me to get I just want one reel can do Botha fresh n saltwater fishing. Thanks cape.:)

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

Hi Malay, yes the Van Staal VR50 could be used for both fresh and saltwater. 👍

[@jamesnguyen729]

Hi there, I will be travelling to PV from Canada in late January. is 20 lb braid and fluorocarbon the lightest you would throw in saltwater settings? where im from is all freshwater unless you head out to the east or west coast.

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

Yes that is the lightest I typically use. 30lb is a great all around for most saltwater applications I encounter. Let us know how you do in PV! Gluck!

[@jamesnguyen729]

@@MyFishingCapeCod is there a way i can contact you for some more info about fishing in PV? it would be my first time and im just a bit curious and nervous.

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

Sorry I'm just seeing this now. Best way to get in touch is via my website myfishingcapecod.com or [e-mail]. 👍

[@G-winn]

Hi, Great video. whats the spec of the rod and reel size you are using? is this a travel rod. im visiting Pv myself in April from the uk, this will be my second trip there and will be trying to make up for losing a huge toro at that same spot. im hoping my new 4 piece shimano 7ft 50-100g heavy spinning rod will be upto the job

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The travel rod I was using is a 7' Tsunami 3-piece Travel Rod TSCS703M. The reel is a Van Staal VR50. This is my light tackle setup. Good luck in April!!!

[@pargonegro2866]

Nice video buddy, here in Pv everyone call these fish Toros o Jureles, the sir probably tells you yellowtail because you are American

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

Muchas gracias amigo. Me gusta mucho el nombre Toros. Gracias!

[@malaytith1676]

Thank you so much cape cod I’ll get one then😁

[@danskhunder1]

Very cool. I'm headed to PV in February, hoping to get some time surf fishing while I'm there. Any recommendations outside of that spoon you were using? What were the locals using?

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

Anything that resembles a 3-4 inch long, 1 inch wide sardine would work well. The 2 ounce-ish Kastmasters that the locals were using worked very well. I would also try to get to Punta Negra, north of Neuva.....I haven't been there personally but I hear that is a good spot.

[@danskhunder1]

@@MyFishingCapeCod thanks!

[@johnnygross4415]

The Kastmaster works for silver salmon in wash. state. silver/gold@@MyFishingCapeCod

[@miken6817]

Awesome Video! Which hotel were you staying at...if you don't mind me asking.

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

We stayed at some condos which you can rent on AirBnB or VRBO. They are called "Vista del Sol"

[@kennethbrewster5235]

I am goig to the royal decameron complex in mexico in september what set up would you recommend cheers.

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

I have my travel rods listed here on this page in case you'd like to check it out myfishingcapecod.com/gear/#costarica

[@frankxiong5754]

How the shoreline fishing license work there? All I can find is that its free if you fish off the shore?

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

I'm not sure, but I don't recall getting a license.

[@alialisdair]

Hi Do you use wire trace or mono straight through. Cheers ali

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

In this video I was using 20lb power pro braid (www.themightyfish.com/products/powerpro-braided-fishing-line?_pos=1&_sid=aff3592b3&_ss=r&variant=8746374234219) tied via a Slim Beauty knot to a 3 foot section of 20lb Seagur fluorocarbon (www.themightyfish.com/products/seaguar-blue-label-flourocarbon?_pos=2&_sid=b2391b2ca&_ss=r&variant=41687310213)

[@danielsepulveda912]

Muchos pescados, I want to go this fall to PVR and try to get some fish

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

Great! I think you'll enjoy PV

[@rubenaldama8037]

I'm going to puerto vallarta the first week of december 2019. Do you think we are gonna catch anything from the beach and if so. What species? Are roosters dorados in the surf?

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

Hey Ruben, I don't think roosterfish will be around during December, but they do frequent Vallarta waters during other times of the year. I was there in mid-November and I caught snappers and jacks from the beach, and mahi about a mile offshore in a boat. I also saw a large Spanish Mackerel taken by a surf caster. I was fishing mostly in the Los Muertos Beach area. Have fun and good luck!

[@Guerito_Grande]

I am glad your fishing is better than your Spanish...haha Great video man... That is my favorite spot to fish in PVR

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

LOL, yeah I need to keep practicing my Espanol! Thanks for watching. Glad to know that's your favorite spot. I'll probably be back sometime in 2020.

[@scottmorley67]

Where is this spot. Heading down next week to shore fish.

[@PvSPAPuertoVallarta]

Bienvenidos!!!

[@rickwright7817]

Heading down in 9 days. I enjoy shore fishing in PV. What was the name of the lure you were using?

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

I was using this lure > www.themightyfish.com/products/deadly-dick-long-casting-lure-2-oz?variant=12237781762155

[@djchriscanada]

What would you recommend for surf fishing in PV? I'm quite used to freshwater fishing in Canada but I'm pretty clueless about what will work in PV.

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

For the jack crevalles in this video, right now metal spoons of about 3-4 inches in length, and 1.5 inches in width are working best.

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

Heres a link to the lure www.themightyfish.com/products/deadly-dick-long-casting-lure-2-oz?variant=12237781762155

[@TheMultisportGeek]

Huge question. Did you need a fishing license? I’m going there in 2 weeks.

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

I don't think you need one. I don't recall purchasing one myself. However Don't quote me on it! It can't hurt to double check.

[@danielsepulveda912]

You don't need one, unless you are fishing from a boat

[@bajadan2769]

05:43 your Spanish is pretty good .

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

Thank you!!!

[@federalpablo]

Bueno fishing.

[@johnnygross4415]

were the lures available there?

[@MyFishingCapeCod]

I would definitely imagine there are some quality tackle shops in PV. However I brought all my own lures.
