- The Bahía de Banderas Fishing Club will celebrate the sixth edition of their competition next July 12 – 14
Just after finishing
the International Sport Fishing Tournament of San Blas (May 30 to June 3), the announcement
of the Tuna and Marlin Tournament is a validation of the privileged conditions
that set Mexico’s Pacific Treasure apart for fans of this sport.
Experts consider Riviera Nayarit as one of the best
destinations in the world to do sport fishing, since big game can be found
throughout the year: wahoo, sailfish, dolphin-fish, tuna, three different
species of marlin, sawfish and snapper guarantee a great fishing experience all
year-long.
Furthermore, Riviera Nayarit offers world-class marinas,
people who know how to work with fiberglass, specialized technical personnel to
fix all the gadgets found on a ship, delectable restaurants, luxurious hotels
and the required infrastructure.
The organizers are expecting competitors to break all 2007
weight records, which were 332.3 kilos in the marlin category and 176 kilos in
the tuna category. To encourage participants, additional prizes have been put
forward for the first record-breaking tuna.
This year, the Banderas Bay Sport Fishing Club has defined
four different categories: the two that give this competition its name and that
offer the most important prizes (tuna and marlin), and additionally
dolphin-fish and sailfish categories in a catch and release form, with special
prizes.
Competitors can register in teams of up to four members per
boat. Only non-electronic rod and reel, 130-pound lines and simple bait will be
allowed.
On the sailfish category, each participating team will have to
take a snapshot of each one of their catches, including a timestamp. The
winning team will be the one that catches the largest number of fish. In the remaining categories, the winner will
be defined by the weight of the catch.
The Convention and
Visitors Bureau (CVB) of Riviera Nayarit considers that supporting events of
this kind is instrumental to its promotional strategy, not only because of the
number of tourists that they attract, but also because they provide an
important stage for the international media that covers these events.
