1st International fishing tournament at La cruz de Huanacaxtle



Hola amigos!
We are happy to share our experience in the 1st international fishing tournament at La cruz de Huanacaxtle,Nayarit.  

Our customer and friend from Texas Joey Goss and his friends Poncho Leal and Dean McLean trusted in us to be the ones to take them to the tournament in one of our fleet boats "El Matador" with Captain Manny as our fishing guide, Mitchell and Israel as deckhands and me, Juan Carlos as their host.
It was an unforgettable experience!
Everything started with a welcome party in Marina La Cruz, October 10th where we registered our team, got our number and freebies, got to know the grounds and enjoy some drinks,tacos and live music as we were making our plan for the next day. 







October 11th.-  Departing at 7:00am after the official inauguration ceremony, we headed to one of the most popular big game fishing areas known as "El banco" (the bank) around 35 miles away from la cruz de huanacaxtle, where Captain Manny spotted our bait (bonitas and choras). We landed around seven two pound bonitas with small big eyes as bait. We came back with a nice sailfish and a lot of excitement!






October 12th.- Day of rest..

October 13th.- Departing at 5:00am after our day of rest, this time we headed to another popular big game fishing area known as "la corbeteña" or "la piedra" (the rock).  Where after landing our bait, fun started...
We landed 6 yellow fin tunas, one dorado and 2 sailfish! It was an impressive day and all our anglers were pretty tired but excited, happy and ready for the next and last day...

October 14th.- Departing at 5:00am we went back to "La corbeteña" and at the beginning, it was slow as bait was not hungry and it was very hard to get it!  Dolphins were all around the place eating our bait, so Captain Manny gave instructions to his deckhands to change the strategy and use different bait. 
Around noon things started to get better, We had a Marlin in front of us and then in our line, Boy that one was big!  but unfortunately... spitted the hook out.  Then, the sound of the reel made us stand up to see what became our trophy… a nice looking dorado!  Yes Ladies and gentleman, after 3 days of hardworking we came back with a 14kg mahi-mahi that won the 2nd place of the tournament and the jackpot of the day!



It’s an unforgettable experience to be there in the winner´s podium in front everybody knowing that your friends and customers had a great time!

I want to thank Joey Goss from Cheldan Homes in Texas, Poncho Leal and Dean McLane for the opportunity to be part of this amazing experience. Special thanks to Captain Manny and his crew from “El Matador” boat for their dedication and excellent job!
