Puerto Vallarta is gearing up for the 19th edition of the Los Muertos Beach Fishing Tournament, which will take place on November 6 and 7 with participants from Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Costa Rica. The competition will award a total prize pool of 450,000 pesos across the mahi-mahi (dorado), marlin, tuna, and roosterfish/jack crevalle categories.

Registration will take place on November 6 at the Deportes Gutiérrez Rizo store, at a cost of 6,500 pesos per boat. The official departure will be on Saturday the 7th at 7:00 a.m. from the Los Muertos Beach pier. In addition, guest chefs will prepare the catches to offer free tastings; last year, around 1,400 dishes were served.

The tournament will also establish minimum weight requirements for participating species and restrictions to protect marine life, including a ban on capturing sailfish and roosterfish.
