Third consecutive win for Porsche

The Porsche Polo Teams got crowned as the supreme winners for the 3rd consecutive time of the Copa Agua Alta and Copa Agua Baja celebrated from the 28th March to the 11th April at Costa Careyes Polo Club in Mexico.
At the XVI Copa Agua Alta in the 8-10 goals 6 teams participated, while in the Agua Baja of 4-6 goals 4 teams fought for the crown. All these events took place within the Careyes Polo Festival, which lasts for 2 weeks and also hosted a Juniors Cup, an Amateurs Cup and the famous Gold Cup, whose 2nd edition showcases the highest and most competitive level that can be experienced in Mexico, with a handicap of 16 and 18 goals.

Old sports rivalries, passion for Polo and an excellent game level, fully captured the crowd’s attention, who filled the terraces and suites of the 2 fields were the games were held, while the evenings highlighted every corner of Careyes, culminating with the delirious closing night White Party by clothing brand Tucané, which between a tropical band and Dj’s, kept everyone dancing until the wee hours of the morning.

One of the most important remarks of the event is the arbitrage by 3 International referees, including Matias Baibiene, who has been invited to referee some of the most important finals of the world, including the USA, UK and Argentine Opens.

The Porsche Team, with Billy Steta, President of the Mexican Polo Federation, at its head was the winner of the Copa Agua Alta in a hard-fought game against the USA-Costa Careyes Team, led by Giorgio Brignone, in which technique, skills and both teams experience showered the audience with endless excitement up until the last minute of the game, ending with a 9-8 score. During the Copa Agua Baja, the Porsche Team, again lead by Guillermo “Billy” Steta took the highest prize.

Guillermo Li was named Best Professional Player of the Copa Agua Alta, the award for the Best Amateur Player of the Copa Agua Alta was presented to Cedric Schweri.

Amongst beach activities, polo games, driving experiences, photo exhibitions, parties and special activities, the hosts, Alberto Ardissone and Giorgio Brignone, were proud to show their organization and hospitality by showcasing such a magnificent event. It is worth mentioning that for the 3rd consecutive year the Copa was presented by the German car brand Porsche, who were displaying all their line of sports cars, adding a touch of luxury and adventure to the guests’ experience, in what it is the most important tournament held in Mexico.

Across the event, the public were able to enjoy special driving experiences throughout the beautiful Costalegre at the South of Jalisco, where in its very heart lays Costa Careyes, halfway between the port cities of Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta.

The guests to these activities enjoyed the Porsche cars, driving them across the jungle scenery of the zone (Barra de Navidad, Tenacatita, Chamela and Pérula), besides doing speed and skill trials at the future aerodrome of Costalegre (7200 feet), pleasuring the lovers of these high performance vehicles, thanks to the presence of the whole scale of models, ranging from the recently launched Boxter and Cayman on its GTS versions, the emblematic Race 911, the Macan in its Turbo modality to the Panamera and Cayenne in its version S e-hybrid.

The dates for next year’s edition of the Polo Festival, XVII Copa Agua Alta and the III Copa de Oro are from the 21st March to 4th April 2016.

PUERTO VALLARTA — The fishing out of Puerto Vallarta has been good both inside and out. Whether you take a short trip or a long trip for bigger fish, any trip is catching fish.

 

“Punta Mita is on fire, with frenzied fish all over the place and when (not if) you find a churning bait ball they are the size of a small asteroid,” Stan Gabruk owner of Master Baiter’s Sportfishing & Tackle said. “Just go 2 to 6 miles off the point of Punta Mita in any direction and you can’t go wrong. You’ll find striped marlin to 275 pounds, blue marlin to 500 pounds, sailfish, roosterfish from 20 to 60 pounds and jack crevalle are everywhere to 50 pounds or larger. There are also wahoo at about 60 pounds everywhere. Snapper to 35 pounds are so thick they’re turning the sea red in huge, monstrous schools.”

PVS OFFSHORE ACTION HEATS UP — The offshore tuna action is heating up out of Puerto Vallarta but the amberjack bite is already going strong. PHOTO COURTESY OF PV SPORTFISHING

 

“But there is so much bait out there, with varied types that change daily, that it will make you wonder which bait or jig to use,” Gabruk said. “Coming across a bait ball will be your best bet. Just cast a jig or live bait into the middle of a bait ball and rig yourself for some arm burning action. Especially for roosterfish, which are running with the red snapper, which are in a second layer just under the roosterfish. If you can get your bait below the roosters, you’ll start banging the snappers.”

 

“The snappers are hugely abundant, but they’re not exactly taking baits if they’re not in a feeding frenzy,” Gabruk said. “Sailfish are lounging on the surface in the same area. If you cast bait at them you have a 50-50 chance that they’ll take it. For the moment, the bite is around mid day, maybe a little earlier, but by the time you read this article it will be moving earlier. And since you’re in the same neighborhood, the Marietta Islands are happening as well. But since it’s the same time and distance, with more options at Punta Mita, why waste the effort.”

 

“Wahoo are at all the locations,” Gabruk said. “They’re anywhere from behind El Morro to Corbeteña and up to El Banco. They are worth the time, but bring plenty of bait and be ready to lose some lures. At Corbeteña and El Banco there are sailfish, blue marlin, wahoo and jack crevalle. It’s worth the distance and the fuel dollar, but why would you do it when you can do it all in eight-hour which is cheaper all around. There are yellowfin tuna in the area, but they’re footballs like you’d expect this time of the year, for me, Punta Mita is the obvious choice.”

 

“Inside the bay there’s some great fishing, amazing in fact,” Gabruk said. “Jack crevalle and all the other players are just a mile or two outside of Marina Vallarta. A four-hour fishing trip even produced a sailfish in the bay this past week at Los Arcos. Huge jack crevalle, skipjack tuna, bonito and snappers, all these species are in the same size ranges as mentioned earlier.”

 

Damon Martin at PV Sportfishing said they had a few slow days starting out the month but both the inshore and offshore fishing had picked up. “We have been catching big amberjack outside of the Marietta Islands and lots of jack crevalle off the north side of Bandera Bay,” he said. “And the big cow yellowfin tuna continued to bite on overnight charters 80 to 120 miles offshore.”

 

“Billfish and also a few smaller tuna have been caught outside of El Banco and in open waters 20 miles out from Punta de Mita,” Martin said. “We have also been catching marlin with live bait and trolling lures at slow speeds offshore. Capt. Torres nailed a 400-pound black marlin outside of El Banco last week with live skipjack aboard the My Marlin and also caught the biggest tuna of the year so far at 362 pounds.”

 

In other Mexico fishing action:

 

— IXTAPA-ZIHUATANEJO: Following a few slow weeks of fishing, Capt. Verboonen reported significant changes this past week that wound up with 4 to 6 billfish release days for offshore anglers.

 

“Verboonen added that some of the boats were reporting simultaneous strikes with as many as five fish at a time coming in on the lures and rigged baits,” Larry Edwards of Cortez Yacht Charters said. “There was some wonderful and fun fishing days with terrific action that was keeping everyone busy and happy.

”

“The inshore fishing was producing many big jack crevalle, with plenty of roosterfish mixed in with the jacks and everything was taking live baits with some fair numbers on the poppers as well,” Edwards said. “It was one of those extraordinary fishing weeks when the fish were being ultra-cooperative and not shy about bait, lures or trolling speeds.”

 

“The offshore fishing was good from about 13 to 15 miles offshore, straight out from the bay and the action started the minute you arrived on location,” Edwards said. “The inshore action also remained consistently good in the Valentin Point area.”

 

— MAZATLAN: It was a 50-50 week with partly cloudy days to bright sunshine days and very good fishing every day.

 

“Unquestionably, it was the best fishing report we have ever provided for Mazatlan during the month of March,” Larry Edwards of Cortez Yacht Charters said. “Our on-the-spot reporter, Kitcia said it was a billfish bonanza week for the Aries Sportfishing Fleet out of the Marina El Cid.”

 

“The Aries IV was high boat for the week with a total of 11 stripers, 1 sailfish and 2 dorado for six days fished,” Edwards said. “That was followed by the Aries IX, with 11 stripers and a single mako shark for seven charters.”

 

Edwards said the overall fish counts for the offshore fishing provided an awesome March fishing week for the fleet and reflected a total of 41 stripers, 1 sailfish, 1 mako shark and 4 dorado for 26 trips. “Not to be outdone, the inshore super pangas were stacking up the numbers with limit-style fishing for their anglers as well,” he said. “That included 1 sailfish, 9 jack crevalle, 1 dorado, 12 seabass, 1 barracuda, limits of snappers, limits of triggerfish and limits of grouper for their 12 charters.”

 

— CANCUN TO COZUMEL: According to Larry Edwards of Cortez Yacht Charters it was a truly banner fishing week for the Marina El Cid Sportfishing Fleet from Puerto Morelos.

 

“They ended up with a 6.6-plus fish average per boat day fished,” Edwards said. “We received a fabulous fishing report from our local reporter Jessica that included records being broken for the numbers of charters and the numbers of dorado caught. Spring is in the air in Puerto Morelos and fish want to bite.”

 

The overall fish counts for 76 charters included 1 off-season sailfish, 104 dorado, 5 wahoo, 10 bonito, 15 giant barracuda, 5 Spanish mackerel, 1 blackfin tuna, 1 sand shark, 157 chac-chi, 80 triggerfish, 105 snapper, 11 grouper and 8 banana fish.

 

 

Apollo Puerto Vallarta trip sets boat record

Western Outdoor News Staff Writer

 PUERTO VALLARTA — Everyone knows that if you want big tuna you just have to go long range.

 

With the recent advent of local boats setting up fly-down, fly-back trips Southern California anglers have been catching their fish of a lifetime. 

 

localcangler
LOCAL ANGLER Greg Harold, found his personal best 169-pound yellowfin aboard Apollo along three more brutes.

 

Local angler Greg Harold flew down to jump aboard Apollo, which typically fishes out of Seaforth Landing. Harold managed to find four huge yellowfion, including a personal best 169-pound brute. The fish ate a big squid hung from the kite just as most of the 30 fish taken on the 3½-day trip would do.

 

“It seemed that at any given moment a big tuna has hanging. Then the call for the gaff and ‘boom’ another bruiser hit the deck,” related Harold upon his return. “The bite never stopped.”

 

With two kites up and balloons floating baits as well, the crew of five, led by owner/operator Captain Jodie Morgan, found fish from 120-to-270-pounds.

“Our boat record was broken with 15 tuna over 200-pounds with only 11 anglers fishing,” according to Capt. Morgan.
