Water Warms Up in Cabo Just in Time for the 2011 IGFA Offshore World Championship 8-13 May 2011

May 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico, 8 May 2011. Report from [link=http://www.picantesportfishing.com/]Picante Sportfishing [/link]

Hello from Picante Sportfishing in sunny Cabo San Lucas, the marlin capital of the world. The weather here has been great. The air temperatures are in the 90’s Fahrenheit. But the real news here is the water temperatures. At the beginning of the month the water temperatures to the east of Cabo San Lucas were in the low 70’s and to the west they were in the low 60’s. Then in less than a week the water warmed up big time. The water to the east warmed up into the high 70’s and the water in the west went to the upper 70’s. The currents and winds are blessing the waters here at land’s end. Just that has caused some excitement in the area, since the warmer temperatures bring in the warm loving species, like the Dorado, Wahoo and the Blue and Black Marlin. With the change in water temperature all the local marlin species should be available.

This is just in time for the largest and most prestigious invitational fishing tournament of the year. We’re not talking about the Los Cabos Billfish Tournament, or the Los Cabos Tuna Jackpot or even the Bisbee’s tournaments. This is the [link=http://www.igfaoffshorechampionship.com/]IGFA Offshore World Championship[/link], often considered the “Olympics” of big-game fishing.
What sets this tournament apart is that it is not a tournament that anyone can enter. It is an invitation-only tournament. In order to get an invitation you have to have won one of the 130 IGFA sponsored tournaments during the year. This year there are going to be over 60 boats with over 300 anglers, representing 32 countries. This one is about bragging rights. It is a catch and release billfish and big game tournament. Videos are going to be used to verify the catches this year. Four 8-hour days of fishing will pit the best of the best on a collision course to the history books.

With our record of numerous wins and excellent crews, anglers hope to be able to fish on one of our Cabo Yachts, and get a chance to be named “best anglers in the world.”
And with the last couple of weeks of some great Striped Marlin fishing and the waters warming and the big Blue Marlin already showing up, the recipe, here in Cabo San Lucas, is for world class fishing and fun.
