Puerto Vallarta’s Club de Pesca
Back in 1956, Puerto Vallarta’s Club de Pesca was formed by a local group of residents from the area. Along with Engineer Juan De Dios De La Torre who won 1st place at a fishing tournament in New Zealand, they created the Puerto Vallarta Club de Pesca. Their mission was to create a club and host fishing tournaments in Banderas Bay inviting fishermen from around the country and around the world. They hoped to attract more visitors and fans of sport fishing as well. Since the first Puerto Vallarta fishing tournament was held, it helped promote Puerto Vallarta to become a top destination for fishing tournaments in Mexico. Many different species of fish inhabit Banderas Bay. Due to the area’s warm climate, fishing is possible any time of the year in Puerto Vallarta.
