The team anglers, Boats which they are fishing aboard, and the Captains are listed below. Two teams who had previously reserved entry have decided to not fish, which means that there is room for 2 more teams to enter due to the limit of 10 teams allowable in this event.
The Casa Vieja Lodge vessel “Spindrift” with great local captain, “Nicho Alavarenga” is available, and the last spot will require someone with a private boat or we will help you find a local charter boat. We are getting close so if you think that you would like to compete against the best Billfish Fly Anglers in the world, give Jake a call and reserve your spot.
