The composite photo above from the Puerto San Carlos Copa Gobernador Tournament last weekend is irrefutable evidence of how popular this series of tournaments has become in Southern Baja. The photo of families crowded together shoulder to shoulder fishing from the Puerto San Carlos commercial pier is one that many would have never thought would happen.
Clicerio Mercado, organizer of the Copa Gobernador Tournaments in Baja has done an outstanding job of bringing the communities together and introducing sportfishing to families and their kids and it is working. Each year the number of participants grows. Why wouldn't it? Small entry fees, cash prizes, free stuff?Ķhats, t-shirts, good food and of course the fish.
Corvina, mojarra, cabrilla and yellowtail showed up in good enough numbers to make it a contest. As the winners were announced everyone whooped and hollered for their friend and neighbors who won the cash prizes.
According to Mercado, much of the events success was attributable to API office in San Carlos.
Congratulations to our good friend Captain Sergio Garcia from Lopez Mateos for his win in the grouper division.

With the full moon, the fishing has slowed down considerably. The 82?? blue water is still only about 5 miles off the beach, but the fish are not biting. Adolfo, on the panga Dos Hermanos, said it is "muy mal"... In other words, "real bad". And, when one of the best captains here can't get a sailfish in the blue water, or even a jack crevalle off the back side of the surf line, it is really bad! Adolfo does...... Read More
