Bisbee's Fishing Tournaments Coming in 2012
Bisbee’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 23rd to 27, 2012 but there is another Bisbee event on the horizon...
2012 East Cape Offshore Tournament
The 2012 East Cape Offshore Tournament was held July 24th through July 28th with three days of fishing. The tournament was moderately successful this year despite the low turnout and catch.
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.

2012 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 19 through October 21, 2012 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.
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.

2012 Black & Blue Schedule of Events TUESDAY OCTOBER 23 REGISTRATION WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY-FRIDAY OCTOBER 24-26 FISHING DAYS SATURDAY OCTOBER 27 AWARDS CELEBRATION |
Of course the big daddy of all events follows on October 23 through October 27, 2012. Record number of entries are anticipated for 2012.
Another black eye for the Black and Blue has been 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..
