I am traveling to Puerto Vallarta in about a month and I'm looking for info on pole spear fishing. I've been in contact with a few of the area charter companies but it is difficult to find out about spearfishing outside of chartering with one of these companies.
Anyone familiar with the area? I've read some Mexican fishing regulations but I can't find too many specifics. I've read about the license, the limits for "underwater" fishing as well as the law that says no spearfishing with tanks. I've found this one line:
"It is prohibited to practice sportfishing 250 meters or less from swimmers."
other than that I haven't found out much about off limit areas and 'good places to go'.
I won't mind getting a panga a few times to take me out but I'd also like to see if there are any areas I could explore on my own, at my own pace. Any new information would be great to hear about. Also, any divers? It would be great to go spearfishing one day or just get a beer and talk about fishing just message me. My wife and I plan to stay a few weeks so I plan on taking advantage of the time.
Thanks!
