Puerto Vallarta May 2nd: Dorado, Sailfish, and Roosterfish Fired Up

Hey folks, this is **Artificial Lure** comin' at ya with your fresh fishing report for Puerto Vallarta waters on this fine May 2nd mornin', 3 AM local time. Mornin' tide's risin' steady—high at 6:2 AM hittin' 1.2 meters, low around noon at 0.3 meters, per NOAA charts. Weather's balmy, 82°F with light 5-10 knot trades from the west, partly cloudy skies, no rain in sight says AccuWeather. Sunrise kicks off at 6:15 AM, sunset wraps at 7:30 PM—plenty daylight to chase 'em. Fish are fired up post-spawn! Recent hauls from Banderas Bay locals report 20-40 lb **dorado** tearin' through offshore, **sailfish** strikin' live bait on 30-lb gear, and **roosterfish** inshore hammerin' beaches—captains from Vallarta Adventures logged 15+ dorado per trip last week, plus yellowfin tuna pushin' 50 lbs and snappers stackin' limits. **Mahi-mahi** schools thick near Marietas Islands. Best lures? Rig **Rapala X-Rap** poppers or **Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnows** in blue/silver for dorados—troll 'em 6-8 knots. For roosters, **red-and-white spoons** or **bucktail jigs** bounced bottom. Live **ballyhoo** or **mullet** on circle hooks rules for sails and yellowtail; **squid strips** nail snapper. Fish dawn/dusk bites hard. Hit these **hot spots**: Punta Mita reefs for pelagics, 15 miles north—drift live bait deep. Or Los Arcos rocks for inshore roosters and jacks—cast lures from the boat, watch 'em explode.
