Presidential Challenge of Costa Rica to
Benefit The Billfish Foundation
By
TBF, Sportfishingmag.com
The azure blue waters off Carrillo
(Guanacaste), Costa Rica are home to some of
the best billfishing in the world. In
addition to plenty of big Pacific sailfish,
a surprisingly large number of blue, black
and striped marlin call these waters home
during the spring season.
The Presidential Challenge of Costa Rica,
scheduled for March 4-7, 2009, coincides
perfectly with the height of the billfishing
season off central Costa Rica, offering
anglers the ultimate in light-tackle angling
in a tournament setting that's highly
competitive both on a team and individual
angler basis.
This year's event is once again hosted by
the Villas Playa Samara, offering
comfortable rooms situated just steps away
from the beach and spacious freshwater pool
complete with swim-up bar.
The tournament entry fee includes nightly
cocktail parties in addition to the awards
dinner at the completion of the event. All
proceeds from the tournament will go to The
Billfish Foundation to support their
conservation efforts in Costa Rica.
This year's event kicks off March 4th with
registration and a mandatory angler's
meeting with complimentary cocktails
supplied by Bacardi.
Fishing will commence on March 5th with
drinks and dinner to follow at Cas Vela, the
private home of tournament coordinator Joan
Vernon. March 6th is the second day of the
tournament with a Bacardi Bash immediately
afterward, with March 7th being the third
and final day of competition. There's
another Bacardi Bash with the awards dinner
and presentation that evening.

We look forward to seeing you in Costa Rica!
