The Latest Catch

Los Cabos Offshore - October 15 - 18, 2020
Black & Blue - October 20 - 24, 2020

I hope everyone is doing very well as the tournaments draw near. Both October events are shaping up great, and there’s still a ton of fish in Cabo!
 
In the past couple of weeks, Cabo lightened their Covid restrictions one more level and are planning to go even further in the coming weeks. This means that all of the local businesses can operate a bit more freely and they’re more than ready to see all of you!

From start to finish – with virtually no downtimes – the just concluded 2019 Bisbee’s Los Cabos Offshore Tournament was a bang-up event, made more so by the $1,274,150 distributed when it was all over. 

“Blue marlin, black marlin, striped marlin, and two tuna brought home the paydays for 120 entries of 480 anglers plus boat captains and crews working both the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean out of Cabo San Lucas,” said event director Wayne Bisbee.

There were 192 fish caught or released during the two-day event, including ten dorado but no qualifiers, 95 striped marlin, 61 blue marlin, ten black marlin, and one lonely spearfish.   

He added that was not bad for the two-day event. Over 2,400 pounds of fish were donated by the teams to “Feeding Los Cabos Kids,” whose staff and volunteers cleaned and delivered the fish that provided an estimated 7,557 meals for the kids and their families through their efforts since 2015, they have served Children’s Rehab and feeding centers through neighborhoods in the barrios surrounding Los Cabos.

Not only is that where the most boats were working but it also produced the first boated tuna of the day just before 11 a.m. for the angler, Cesar Alberto Carrillo Sanchez on Team “Tuna Killers” -- go figure.

“Predator” Jarrod Smith boated a blue marlin, weighing in at 328 pounds, Approximate daily jackpot $445,825

“C-Rod,” Tyla Armstrong boated a yellowfin tuna. It weighed in at 157 pounds. Approximate daily jackpot $41,225

We're well into the clubhouse turn for our upcoming tournaments and they're shaping up great!

We've got a couple of things we want all of you to be aware of for this year.
