The First Leg of the 8th annual Los Suenos Signature Billfish Series begins today January 27th when 41 state-of-the art sportfishing boats leave the docks of Los Suenos marina at 6:00am in search of billfish. Lines are in the water are at 8:00am and lines are out at 4:00pm. The quarry is sailfish and marlin though the main target is marlin - either blue, striped or black - as they count 500 points per fish while each sailfish counts as 100 points. The boat with the highest point total after three days fishing is the winner of the first leg. Money is awarded to the first, second and third place boats as well as the winners of the daily high point boat.
Last year a first time entry boat, the Big Oh out of Jupiter, Florida placed second in the First Leg and first in the Second Leg and took home a total of $144,000 as the overall winner of the 2010 Los Suenos Billfish Series.
Last year in the 2010 tournament a total of 1014 billfish were released by the 43 participant boats fishing both legs, or 6 total days! The Second Leg of this year's 2011 Los Suenos Signature Billfish Series is scheduled for March 2-5.
