For starters Hunter & I have had a killer summer in PV. We have had some of the best days on the water. Having a great time in La Cruz fishing the Club de Pesca Torneo on the Martuni with insane popper and live bait tuna fishing to fly fishing the bay for dorado and skipjack, definetly a first for myself. Hunter has taken this whole PV experience to a different level of excitement for myself.

Our new slip for the Maximus is killer. Were very happy to have the boat there. The only problem I'm having is trying to keep the crew focused on working and not swimming in the pool all day. Were just across the way from Paradise Village in Nuevo Vallarta.

We'll all the boys must go back to school and there wasn't a better time to make plans for an end of summer get away with the Osuna Family. For the one's that don't know the Osuna's. They have a fleet of Charter boats in La Cruz and have been killing tuna and putting there customers on big fish for a Very Long Time.

Never have they have had a chance to relax and fish with their family at the same time.

Onboard our adventure we had Capt Chicano, Capt Danny, Capt Alonzo, Capt Scott, Capt Roberto, Scott's sons Christopher, Lil' Scott, cousin David, Hunter
and myself.

This trip started off with Hunter and I provisioning the Maximus and departed mid-day and headed to La Cruz to pick up the Osuna family. They were ready to go. Docking the Maximus next to the Marla fleet made loading all the Killer Accurate reels and Custom Seeker and Calstar rods onboard with ease. I think with the combination of the Marla fleet and the Maximus gear there was no shortage of insane tackle available for this trip. Accurate 50's, 30's, 12's and all the extreme reels to get the job done.

It took all about 8 minutes and we were pulling away from La Cruz and headed towards Corales to make bait. The Green jacks just invaded us and catching 2 to 5 baits at a time was not a problem. Plenty of cookies, but there was a shortage of the cabbies we were hoping for.

About 3:30 am we pulled from the anchorage and headed for Roca. We arrived there just after 5am and we started soaking the baits and yo-yo'ing jigs for tuna and pargo. As soon as sun came up so did the skippy's and bullet tuna's. We made about 40 mixed live skippys and bullets for the tuna and pargo.

After a couple drift's getting lined up our crew started putting big pargo on the deck. Hunter showed us how to fish the rail and stick a 60lb pargo on the flylined skippy.

Manny and Joe was just outside of us on Aleta putting a nice score of the larger school size tuna's and have just finished there trip and dropped off a good pass of cabbies that we put to good use. Thanks Manny! After a couple sets of absolutely wide open tuna it was time to fish the kite and skip the Yummi Flyer that was rigged up from Eric's Tackle in Ventura. We couldn't keep the flyers in the water for more then a couple minutes and they would get crushed. It didn't matter if they were skipped or just soaked still. One tuna after another in the 35 to 60lb range would just blow up on the yummy. Every once in a while the yummy would get crushed by a fish in the 150 range. Schools Ballyhoo were getting getting balled up by the tuna and we were able to scoop the ballyhoo and use them.

By mid day the all the charter boats headed in and we had the Rock all to ourselves. We dropped the pic above the NW pinnacle and all it took was a cast to catch a skippy or bullet tuna on the sabiki and jig comb and a 12/0 collar hook bullet or skippy on the Accurate 50 with 200lb leader and minutes later we had tuna to 180lbs, sails, black marlin and really big pargo. At any time 10 of us were soaking skippys and one bite up after another kept everyone busy gaffing and releasing fish. Even Chritopher, our youngest angler (4 years old) on board started catching tuna. At first we would help him and after a coulpe of tuna's he figured how to do it himself and in no time he was fishing the light Accurate 30's rigged with 100lb string and doing a perfect job on the pargo and tuna. This mayhem continued through the night. By day break the pargo and tuna attacked the transom of the Maximus eating all the bullet and skippys that were attracted to the lights all night and every bait that hit the water was bit.

By 10am we were done. We were out of leader, hooks, jigs and most of the terminal gear we brought. Sea's were flat, 86.5 deg water and just enough wind to get the kite out. 

We headed back to La Cruz to offload and end an absolutely perfect trip.

If your ready to catch tuna. Now is the time. The season just started and will just get better. The rock and bank are explosive right now, and the Maximus and Marla fleet are ready to take you on a unreel experience. 

2-10 day adventures are available to fish the local and long range grounds with the combination of options to fish a 32' Blackfin, 2-36's and a 60' custom all inclusive live aboard that can fish from up to 10 anglers.
