International & Local Fishing Tournament!
Several fishing boats from Bonaire, Curacao,
Aruba and Venezuela will participate. The pier
opposite of the restaurant It Rains Fishes, also
known as the Club Nautico Pier, will be the main
place to be! During the tournament! A variety of
activities will be planned such as BBQ's, live
music, promotional booths and prizes and
traditional music performances, DJ music and
bands of Curacao!
As last years International and local fishing
tournaments worked so well, the set up for this
year will be the same. The sign up and Captain’s
meeting will take place Thursday the 27th of
January and the fishing days for the
international tournament will be Friday the 28th
and Saturday the 29th. This way the fisherman
can make their way home peacefully on Sunday.
Last year we had over 40 participating boats in
these events and lots of great fish hooked we
look forward to even more this year!
As previously, the event will be centered around
the Club Nautico Pier, across the street from
“It rains fishes” restaurant, the base for the
tournament. The land activities taking place on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings include
BBQ’s, Buffets, music with various Dj’s and
bands from Bonaire and Curacao, there will also
be promotional stands and awards, at our
activity center on the property adjacent to the
restaurant.
We look forward to many returning boats from
Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba and Venezuela. As we
expand this event, we invite boats from other
regions in the Caribbean as well. The grand
prize is a Toyota Hilux Pick-up Truck, awarded
for breaking the Antillean record which is 803
lbs. As always, there will be a variety of
trophies and valuable prizes, but this year
there will also be cash prizes between $2,000
and $5,000.
The international tournament is a catch and
release tournament where there is a minimum of 2
fisherman and a maximum of 4 fisherman per boat.
The organization has reserved many spaces at the
Club Nautico pier for participants. These spaces
can be reserved by you on a first come first
served basis. You may also make reservations at
other places, such as the Harbour Village
marina, Plaza marina or the moorings in front of
the town. |
