The
Billfish Foundation Presidential
Challenge Of Central America
Costa Rica - 2006
The Billfish Foundation
Presidential Challenge of
Central America begins the Tenth
Anniversary season of the
Presidential Challenge series in
Playa Carillo.
When you sign up to fish The Presidential Challenge Series (PCCA) you are
supporting their efforts as well
as those of The Billfish
Foundation(TBF) to further
conservation of billfish in
Costa Rican waters.
We love the exhilarating fishing
opportunities we have come to
expect off the shores of Costa
Rica. Our anglers come from many
of the United States, Puerto
Rico and Central America to take
advantage of one of Costa Rica’s
most valuable resources – the
billfish.
The PCCA and TBF recognize that
sportfishing tourism is their
strongest tool with which to get
the attention of decision makers
in Costa Rica. Good conservation
pays.
Coastal communities prosper from
fishermen who purchase hotel
rooms, frequent restaurants and
charter boats. Other service
providers and businesses related
to sportfishing all contribute
to the economic health of these
communities.
This year the tournament is
again scheduled for the
beautiful Hotel Guanamar.
Anglers will compete for three
days aboard private boats and
boats chartered locally.
Everyone is welcome to fish with
them. You need a team of three
anglers to make an entry. We
will place a certified
International Game Fish
Association observer aboard each
boat along with the angling
team.
This tournament is sanctioned by
The Rolex-IGFA Offshore
Championship and The World
Billfish Series and will hedl
April 21-22-23, 2006. Entry fee
is $2,300 per angler ($2,500
after February 15, 2006)
