Islands of Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico (May 7, 2017) – Anglers looking to catch their next big adventure and golf enthusiasts looking to better their par can do so in paradise during the second annual Islands of Loreto Fishing and Golf Tournament hosted by Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto, from July 27 to 29.

World-class sport fishing for Marlin in the “Aquarium of the World” and a round of golf at Danzante Bay Golf Course’s famed Hole 17 are in store during Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto’s Fishing and Golf tournament, combining competition on both land and sea.

“With nearly a thousand of species of fish in our ‘backyard’ and calm nationally protected waters, it’s no surprise that sport fishing in the Sea of Cortez is the best of the best,” said Owen Perry, co-owner and president of Villa Group. “Combine that with a golf course designed by famous architect Rees Jones that brings together mountain, desert and ocean views, and you have the perfect elements for an exciting weekend of sports.”

The nearly 800-square-mile Loreto National Marine Park is a protected World Heritage Site that is home nearly 1,000 species of fish, including Swordfish, Roosterfish, Grouper, Cabrera, Dorado (Mahi Mahi) and many more, making for the ultimate fishing “bucket list.”

This year, guests of all fishing levels will have the chance to reel in the tournament’s prized Marlin, which is considered by many game fishermen to be a pinnacle of sport fishing, due to the size, power, and rareness of the species. Anglers who hook Marlin weighing over 200 pounds have the best shot at luring in the ultimate prize.

To kick things off, participants can share cocktails with Bisbee’s fishing tournament expert Clicerio Mercado and resident Danzante Bay Golf Pro Danny Garcia at the resort’s welcome reception on Thursday, July 27, where guests can register for the tournament and go over rules of the competition.

After a shotgun start, on Friday anglers can take in the pristine beauty of more than 100 miles of coastline as they lure in Marlin to compete for up to $10,000 USD in cash prizes, including two jackpots. A $1,600 tournament package includes a registration fee for a team of four and either the rental of a superpanga boat for two days during the tournament, or a two-night, three-day stay in two deluxe suites. 

The action-packed weekend will wrap up on Saturday with a second day of fishing and a weigh-in at Puerto Escondido, followed by an awards celebration dinner at the resort’s Danzante Bay Golf Course Club House, which boasts stunning panoramic views of the course, resort and indigo waters of the Sea of Cortez.

Prior to the fishing festivities, contestants will have an opportunity to play a round of “scramble” golf at the 7,400-yard, par-72 Danzante Bay Golf Course that features an unusual topographic blend of desert, mountain and dunes, with a 250-foot elevation change from start to finish. The course pays homage to how golf originated – at the place where the land meets the sea. Participants will have a chance to tee-off from the jaw-dropping Hole 17, which has been praised as one of the “best in the golf.”

The winner of the golf tournament will take home a four-night, five-day stay in a Deluxe Studio, valued at $1,500, while second place will win a $500 prize, with third place receiving a signature Danzante Bay golf bag, golf glove, and golf balls.

Tournament sponsors include the Danzante Bay Golf Club, Danzante Tours, Marina Puerto Escondido, Bisbee’s Fishing Tournament, FONMAR, Agencia Arjona, CONURBA, Pasion Por La Pesca, and Blue Anchor Restaurant Bar.

Amazing saltwater fishing on the Garden Island, Kaua'i with great opportunities for large bonefish, trevally, and other reef fish. Though bonefish are not as prolific on Kaua'i as ... moreother places such as Christmas Island, they compensate for it by their large size. Six-to-ten pound fish are commonly found and some even break into the double-digits!

Enjoy the rustic beauty of Kaua'i with some saltwater island fishing. Prepare yourself for casting into the wind as Kaua'i is subject to regular trade winds that can present a challenge even to experienced anglers. Double haul casting, or casting on the other side of your body can be helpful to counteract these conditions.

Each trip is 4-5 hours of fishing time. Additional days are available at a discount rate for saltwater fishing. Gear and tackle is provided, or you can bring your own. Be sure to specify ahead of time. Bring sun protection and polarized sunglasses.
