And it finally happened, “BOOM” Puerto Vallarta fishing explodes.

Welcome to another amazing week of fishing in Puerto Vallarta. Forget the introduction statement and let’s get straight to it. Yellowfin Tuna at Corbetena are jumping and having a great time with boils all over the area around Corbetena.

Starting with Corbetena, it’s a hair pulling frustration. Some beginning sentence, but the simple fact we have beautiful High visibility blue water and the fish are jumping. Curious enough the surface baits have disappeared for the most part.

One thing about living and fishing in Puerto Vallarta is you’re a slave to the weather. Hurricanes passing, high pressure zones, dirty water and strong currents. We have to deal with these situations and more. Sometimes things come up short for fishing. But we’re past that now and after two weeks we have fish at our world famous fishing grounds!

You know it never fails, we start seeing some great fishing which only promises to improve then “WHAM” something happens and machine stops. By that I mean we’ve seen strong currents and heavy rain.

It’s been a real rollercoaster week at or world famous fishing grounds. We’ve seen no less than three Hurricanes in ten days.

The modern world is loaded with harmful types of stress and various diseases that are born as a result of the lack of internal balance in human beings.

The art and science of “Massage” have been in existence for more than a thousand years. The Chinese believe massages are beneficial to increased circulation and physical benefits. When we have physical or emotional pain or feel stress in our bodies, it`s normal to get a massage as an alternative therapy. Inexplicably we feel an improvement, healing and a feeling of well-being in our bodies.

In our bodies we have beneficial energy centers known as chakras. Chakras represent the union of our body and consciousness. This allows our physical, mental, emotional and our spiritual bodies come together. 

Meditation is an increasingly widespread practice in our society, which allows to dominate our mind and at the same time reach a state of consciousness. In this times that we have passed through different emotions it is very important to reconnect with ourselves and be fully aware of our emotional wellbeing.

Everything starts and ends with your state of mind and how you process your daily information. Meditation is not difficult to learn and is a rather simple thing to do. Meditation is a mental and spiritual activity we can practice every day and by doing so it will contribute greatly to your wellbeing.
