History of the Club de Pesca de Puerto Vallarta
The Club de Pesca de Puerto Vallarta was formed in 1956 by a local group of residents from Vallarta got together with Engineer Juan De Dios De La Torre who was awarded 1st place for a fishing tournament in New Zealand. They wanted to organize a club so they could invite people all around Mexico to join in and compete in fishing tournaments in Banderas Bay. The group believed that they could attract more visitors with sport fishing, and they were correct. Ever since the first Puerto Vallarta fishing tournament was held, it slowly became a top destination for fishing tournaments and helped to promote tourism in Puerto Vallarta. In addition, there are so many different species of fish in Banderas Bay that change according to the season. As a result, this means that fishing can be done any time of the year in Puerto Vallarta.
