SPORTFISHING HOTSPOT COW TOWN DESERTED OF FISH THIS WEEK

March 16, 2005, Josh Temple, Prime Time Adventures, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Fishing Report:

Cow Town fishing is shut down...whamo...and right now each and every fish is cause for celebration. The fishing water at Puerto Vallarta is deep blue...FANTASTIC...blue, blue, blue...with bait, current...perfect, textbook conditions...and no fish. Sure...the water is cold at 73 degrees....but not unreasonably cold.

The tuna are here, and the only thing I can tell you with any degree of certainty is what they aren't eating. Some days we've had 60 to 150 pounders rolling all around us and still couldn't get more than a few to go.
