Club de Pesca de Puerto Vallarta Info
The history of fishing tournaments in Banderas Bay dates back to 1956 when a local group of people formed the Club de Pesca de Puerto Vallarta. Several Puerto Vallarta residents teamed up with Engineer Juan De Dios De La Torre who earned first-place for the biggest catch at a fishing tournament in New Zealand. Together, they formed the club with the hopes of promoting sportfishing events in the area. After the first sporting tournament, Puerto Vallarta started to earn a reputation as a great place for fishing tournaments and fishing tourism in Mexico. In Puerto Vallarta, fishing tournaments are especially popular because there are different varieties of fish species in Banderas Bay during each season. As a result, fishing is possible all year long with the chance to catch a variety of different species according to the time of year.
