What should my team confirm before paying?

Ask what the base entry includes, which jackpots are optional, how many anglers may compete, and what paperwork the boat needs. Confirm minimum fish weights, release-video evidence, the fishing boundary and the last check-in time in the current rulebook. Arrange the boat separately unless the organizer explicitly includes it.

Completed June 20 with 14 boats and a purse above MX$341,000.

Accommodation and travel

Where to stay

Start with the named East Cape venue, not Cabo San Lucas. Confirm whether the host can arrange a room and boat together, what is included, and how your arrival fits the registration day. Van Wormer’s event calendar (opens in a new tab) lists host venues for its resort events.

A practical boat-and-travel checklist
  • Get a written boat quote for every required fishing day, including fuel, bait and crew arrangements.
  • Arrive in time for registration and any mandatory meeting, not just the first fishing start.
  • Check fishing permits and local rules with your captain.
  • Keep awards, flights and room nights aligned with the complete event window.
