Bisbee's Fishing Tournaments Coming in 2011

Bisbee fishing tournament in Cabo San LucasShotgun Start of the Bisbee Black and Blue Marlin TournamentBisbee’s Black & Blue Marlin Tournament, the world’s richest Billfish Tournament, is coming this fall up as the fishing season wraps up in Baja California Sur.

This years Bisbee Black and Blue Marlin Tournament will be held October 18th to 27, 2011 but there is another Bisbee event on the horizon...

2011 East Cape Offshore Tournament

The 2011 East Cape Offshore Tournament was held July 26th through July 30th with three days of fishing. The tournament was moderately successful this year despite the low turnout and catch.

The event was held at the Hotel Buena Vista on July 26, 2011 at 3PM with registration and distribution of team bags. A Captains' and deck crew meeting followed.

The waters were a little cooler this year off the East Cape and this years catches were a bit light. East Cape normally provides some of the richest fishing grounds to be found in Baja California Sur including the famous Gordo Bank. This early season tournament has always been a popular warm up for the big money events later in October.

2011 Los Cabos Offshore Tournament

The second event of the Bisbee season comes right in front of the famous Black and Blue Marlin Tournament. Beginning on October 14 through October 16, 2011 the event will get the competition rolling for the main event to follow. With an exciting shotgun start from the docks in Cabo San Lucas the week of fishing and boasting will begin.

Bisbee Black & Blue Marlin Tournament

The Los Cabos Offshore Tournament will feature two days of fishing as competitors tune up for the Black and Blue. Cabo will be jammed with fishermen and spectators, so be sure to make your reservations early.

Boat and fishermen from all over the world descend on Cabo San Lucas for this event which is billed as the World's Richest Fishing Tournament. Slip fees, fuel dock fees and pretty much every price in Los Cabos soars during this event so hold on to your wallets.

2011 Bisbee Black & Blue Marlin Tournament

TUESDAY OCTOBER 18 REGISTRATION
12 noon-6:00pm Registration and distribution of team bags in front of Puerto Paraiso Mall.
6:00pm-7:00pm Captains Meeting on the upper deck of the Puerto Paraiso Mall. Attendance by at least one team member is mandatory.

WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY-FRIDAY OCTOBER 19-21 FISHING DAYS

8:00am-5:00pm Tournament Fishing; lines must be out of the water by 5:00pm.
8:00am-9:00pm Weigh Station is open in front of the Puerto Paraiso Mall. The weigh-in is broadcast LIVE over the internet at www.bisbees.com.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 22 AWARDS CELEBRATION
7:00pm-9:30pm Awards Celebration starts off with cocktails followed by dinner and a big screen presentation of the tournament video (available for sale after the tournament on Bisbee's Online Store at www.bisbees.com/store/). The awards presentation starts after viewing the tournament video.

Of course the big daddy of all events follows on October 18 through October 22, 2011. Record number of entries are anticipated for 2011. The dates are at the end of the traditional Baja Hurricane Season but in 2010 a hurricane passed just south of the peninsula and cause a foreshortening of events.

Another black eye for the Black and Blue in 2010 was price gouging by vendors in Cabo hoping to get their piece of a prize marlin. The Cabo Marina fuel dock was changing an abusive 'corkage fee' on top of fuel prices. With these large sport fishers taking on thousands of dollars worth of fuel and some of the boats being transported in from as far away as Europe one well-to-do boat owner was heard to say it was his last event. Hopefully, with tourism needing as much of a boost as possible the local vendors will cease these counter productive actions.

We at www.BajaInsider.com wish all you anglers the best and thank the whole Bisbee family for continuing on with their growing support of the local economy of Baja California..
