Puerto Ricans celebrate the 2010 Puerto Rico Light Tackle Association Cap Cana Invitational

Mr. Mickey Tirado, organizer of the event pointed out that the  “Puerto Rico Light Tackle Association,  felt that since billfish are so abundant during this time of year in this part of the coast of the Dominican Republic and since our organization supports light tackle fishing, as of this year we are going to use as headquarters,  the excellent facilities offered at Cap Cana Marina.”

The vessel “Blue Bird” won the best boat award  earning  a total of 1,025 points.   This boat also won first prize at the last XLV White Marlin Cabeza de Toro Yacht Club Tournament on May 20-21.  Jesús Montano, Harold Vicente and Hans Magual were on board the “Blue Bird”.  The vessel “Caramba” came in second with 615 total points, with  Angel Montaner, Midel Gómez and  Enrique Ricart on board.  The boat “HydraSport” finished third with  615 total points, and  Luis Ayala, Richie White, José Canales and  Stanley Castro on board.
