Puerto Vallarta, February 18-22, 2026 - the first trip of 2026

[alantani]

the first trip of the year will be to puerto vallarta with Marla's Sportfishing aboard the NTNC.  the group will be me, Steve Banks, Bret Lawson, Colum Coyne, Calvin Gee, Jeff Lusich.  big fish seem to be hit and miss, but these guys really want to go.  it should be fun.  the only thing you need for trip like this is a couple of 48 can nor chill insulated canvas bags from amazon.  these bags will hold 50 pounds of frozen yellowfin filet.  hopefully, we will get into the big ones.  the boat provides all the tackle.  this is one of the easiest trip that i do.

Hmm, the weather looks just a tad better than yours back at home. I hope you didn't leave Joy there. She probably needs to dry out too. 

[natch!]

 These guys don't appear to be drying out
