 Catch
and release fishing is gaining in popularity
as more anglers are becoming concerned about
protecting and increasing the sport fish populations
around Puerto Vallarta and the world. Practicing
good catch and release techniques provides
a first-class fishing experience while recognizing
our responsibility to maintain our valuable
fishing resource for future generations. When
properly handled and released, fish will continue
to repopulate the waters for our continued
enjoyment.

annual Puerto Vallarta International Sailfish
and Marlin Tournament is held each November.
Always a considerable attraction, this tournament
is now considered a world-class event and
big-time bragging rights for the winners are
assured!
