REPORT. A realy international tournament ... 2004 tournament Catch and Release? . Scientific studies of tarpon, A new home for " el club de pesca de San Carlos..
It's a real pleasure to write about this 2003 edition of the San Carlos International Fishing Tournament, in my opinion a complete sucess, and a lot of esperance for the future.. as there are more and more rumors of Catch and release trophy for the 2004 Edition...
As usual all town as been involve band, music, dance, show... Since two year during this week of the 15th of September is also organised the "an Carlos Feria Comerciale" with a large and nice exibition on the main square close to river banks.. , food fair etc etc... it is also the occasion of a so nice and colorfull defile to celebrate the national independance... I sincerely congratulate all the parents who make so big effort in order than their kids will be perfect on that special day , and they are all so clean all with so nice uniform... 7) Independance Day
Let's back to fishing..
We had many boats registered some coming from Rivas, Granada and also many anglers , an international participation with anglers coming from Italy, France, Usa, Ireland and many from Costa Rica .
For the first time an investigation has been held on fish caught during the tournament, done by student of Universidad de Las americas...as their final thesis for post graduate Master. All Tarpon caught were without eggs , we presume they have been sponding recently and are in recovery as they are skinny...Sorry for this poor report .. I soon will have more informations and will comunicate...3 Investigation
Meanwhile the great question is : I am still wondering why so many tarpon comes here in fresh water at 140 miles from sea??? Any sugestion ? please E mail me at Philippe@nicaraguafishing.com
A lot of thanks to so many and generous sponsors...also for their help since so many years..without you we cannot make it... a special mention this year for BORBON company from San Jose who for the first time entered as a sponsor for the tournament..
We had the traditional weather in this season meaning Sun, cloud , rain, sun cloud Rain... but no major rain... only a few wind so almost ideal fishing conditions... Fishing has been great for tarpon the river is full of fish going up and down.. .. Also it is remarquable to notice than now anglers have better tecnics, using Bimini, Double line etc. almost everybody according to IGFA rules .. Problem is in my opinion is than as Anglers get better there will be more and more tarpon caught in the future edition we should stop killing the fish.... In the past only a few fish were caught...and also there is a local tradition since more than 50 years than tournamnet s held Fish are traditionally given to poor people of town and institutions as the hospital, Meanwhile could this eventually justified the killing even if "it is only two days in the year? " I like to receive comments and wishes of anglers about this idea of starting Catch and release...in the tournament. Philippe@nicaraguafishing.com At San carlos Sport Fishing we fish Rio San Juan almost every day all year long but sistematically we release all tarpon.. with a lot of care sometime it is even necessary to make reanimation to the fish..I will be glad to show the process to any interested angler... Also we stopped three month ago to have the tarpon out of water for a picture... we shot pictures on side of the boat... We are also curantly experimenting single hooks instead of the Fatal Killer and so dangerous for angler triple hooks...so we might be able to avoid using a gaff ( In this tounament the youngest angler had one of these triple hook in the leg... Fortunately there is a clinic and an hospital in San Carlos ..so nothing major happen but still this young boy as been very very couyrageous.. see you next year champion... but watch because my two boys alex and Alain 8 and 9 became nervous when they saw your picture and next year they will be there... to compete but also to enjoy the so beautifull San Juan River , have fun , make new friends.of any nationality,. this is the most important..... ) I already had many talks with members of the comity and other anglers during the tournament so far they all agree than next year we shall start to have diferent price category as for example a special price for the angler or the boat witch release the more fish on tournament days.. San carlos sport Fishing will sponsor such a price next year... Winer for the bigest Tarpon as been Mr Gabriel Chamorro a 128lb a nice fish... specifically as caught on a tournament day... ( My captains at San carlos Sport Fishing fish almost every day and release daily bigger fish even Giant as this 235lb caught by My Captain Eliesser Jarquin mena in June 2003 )... As a member of the organising comity I will be glad to provide additional information on this so nice San Carlos Tarpon Tournament...I have a lot of datas , photos etc etc.. If you have some please send then to me... All help, all ideas are welcome, obviously also sponsoring than will make this tournament better every year... .
