- The first three places in the
Freestyle Category will take home cash prizes; the children with the best
catches will receive gifts from the sponsors.
Everything is set for the 7th Jarretaderas Surf Fishing with
Lure Tournament 2018, which will take place next May 20th. It has already
become a tradition in the area and welcomes the community for good family fun.
The tournament is held every year at the mouth of the Ameca
River near Nuevo Vallarta and seeks to attract tourists in the Riviera Nayarit
who are interested in sport fishing.
The species on the catch list are bass, Pacific crevalle jack
(toro), snapper, and grouper. The minimum size for acceptance is 1 kg and, in
keeping with conservation standards, catches will be released.
The awards
The top three best catches usually receive the awards during
this tournament, though this year there will be prizes for fourth and fifth
place that consist of a fishing trip for two valued at US $380 each.
The organizer added that while the traditional tournament is
going on there will also be a kids’ tournament that will be held in a special
area; the only condition for participation is that minors be accompanied by an
adult, whether it’s a parent or guardian. There will be sponsor prizes for the
children who record the top catches.
As far as safety is concerned, the organizers announced the
area will be patrolled by the Municipality’s Civil Protection lifeguards with
an ambulance and logistical support on hand for the duration of the event.
The event is intended to be a family-friendly celebration,
which is why there will be refreshing beverages and food for sale, but no
alcohol.
