A crowd of 60 local anglers snapped up the bait to compete in San Antonio Tlayacapan’s first catch-and-release fishing tournament, held Sunday, March 20, at the waterfront Malecón.
Juan Márquez reeled in a fat carp 11 inches in length for first place, earning him a cash prize of 40 percent of the enrollment fees. Second place, and 30 percent of the take, went to Jorge Luis Reyes, while Wilder García won fishing gear for coming in third. Another fishing tourney is set for Sunday, March 27, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., along Ajijic’s La Crucita beach area at the foot of Calle Nicolás Bravo. Registrations with payment of the 100-peso per pole entry fee will be taken at the site.
