Best Fishing Experience
I go to Puerto Vallarta because it is authentic Mexican and very welcoming. The best fishing I have experienced is with Manuel with Vikingo Fishing. I will be honest, I wasnt impressed with the boats, infact, I was dissapointed and almost didnt want to go when I saw our boat was only a 26 small fishing boat with twin outbaords. No luxury here. But Manuel convinced me that he had the right stuff to catch big fish, so Iwent. What I didnt realize was that a nimble boat like that is what you needed to catch lots of sailfish and thatswhat we did. I caught 5 sailfish that day, 1 was over 140 lbs. These guys are serious fishermen and always come back with fish. If you want to be pampered and airconditioned dont go there. If you came to catch fish, wow these guys are the best.
vikingo
We have used the vikingo, and plan on seeing manuel and adrien feb. 13th. for 500 usd we fished el banco. landed 9 ft striped marlin 6 tunas and 4 el dorados. the capt.will work hard so you can catch the fish of a lifetime. http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2308183720104840893tGkIpS?vhost=travel.
How much fish can be brought back to the states? we stayed at the beunaventura last winter when we fished off the vikingo, and shared our catch with the kitchen staff as well as the capt. and first mate, and with new found friends in this forum.
Happy New Year
