Did you know that sport fishing is one of the most popular outdoor activities that can be enjoyed in Puerto Vallarta all year long? Located on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, Puerto Vallarta is situated in Banderas Bay which is the largest bay in Mexico and 7th largest bay in the world. The area’s warm waters are filled with a variety of marine life including many varieties of fish. For sport fishers, they can find trophy-size Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and Tuna, and other Sportfish. Plus, the area’s great climate with average temperatures of 85°F (30°C) and around 322 days a year of sunshine makes it easy to enjoy a day at sea out on the water. Right now, plans are underway to open a new sport fishing school in Puerto Vallarta. Keep reading more below to learn about the new sport fishing school in Puerto Vallarta.
First Sport Fishing School in Puerto Vallarta
This school will be the first school of its kind in the history of Puerto Vallarta. The talented fisherman Fernando García, who earned the title of the World Champion of Deep Sea Fishing in 2016, is planning to serve as an instructor. The school will be located in front of the malecón fishing cooperative which is opposite the Bodeguita del Medio on the Malecon boardwalk. Local families are invited to participate in the school recognizing that fishermen are an important part of the history of Puerto Vallarta. García is also helping to organize a free fishing tournament with free bait to officially inaugurate the opening of the school. In addition, there will be prizes awarded to top performers as well.
More About the School
The school will focus on a multidisciplinary approach to instruction. Classes will include teaching the art of fishing by going back to ancient fishing techniques that utilized a bottle, a yoyo, and a piece of wood. All ages are accepted from children up to adults who want to learn how to fish.
Local fishermen are planning to participate to share their knowledge and experience with students as well. Once the skill level of the students progresses, they will move from theory to practice. First, they will start fishing on the beach and then they will head out to sea. In addition, local sponsors are helping to support the project as well.
How To Sign Up for Fishing Tournament
If you’d like to participate in the fishing tournament, registration will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:00am to 3:00pm in front of Bodeguita del Medio on the Puerto Vallarta Malecon boardwalk. Make sure to take time to walk along the Malecon boardwalk and enjoy the great views and visit the iconic sailboat shaped pier. There are also wonderful restaurants, bars, art galleries, and more along the way. Don’t miss the Lady of Guadalupe church off the central plaza with its unique crown shaped top, too. As you stroll around Old Town Vallarta, it’s easy to see why Puerto Vallarta is such a great place to live and visit.
Once a former fishing village, Puerto Vallarta is now a thriving tourist destination and one of Mexico’s most popular beach towns.
