4th Annual East Cape Bisbee was hosted by our resort this past week and it seems that everything went quite well, everyone was very happy and relax (even thought there is plenty of money involved). And we are happy to announce that we will be having it again next year.

The welcome cocktail and captain meeting was held on garden and pool area. The kiosk was used as the sign in area. Mr. Wayne Bisbee and Mr. Cliserio Mercado did a great job going over the rules and clarifying each one. There were almost 200 people and Tecate beer step up to the challenge as it sponsored the event with plenty of free beer. Another great friend and sponsor was Ken Matney and wife from Hi-5 Lures who sponsor quite a few lures for the raffle.  Angel was on site and with plenty of work as he was getting everyone ready for the next day, it took a day or two for the participants to know about ordering everything a night before, but by the third day everyone knew what to do.

We started out very early serving breakfast every mornings a little earlier than normal to be ready for the 7:00 am shut gun start. On  the first day, my dad with Wayne, Radio controller Mr. Rico and Lic. Bermudez from the State government were in charge of the shut gun start. There were 42 boats signed on to the event, so it was a very interesting start. There were nice 60 ft long fishing boats, quite fast also as we saw a nice Ocean yacht doing about 35 miles, easily going past everyone. It was so nice to see so many people coming from so many different places, here Mr. Pascoe from Wyoming with the team uniform.

The weight station was arranged next to the new fish hanging place, and of course we had the Tecate huts for shade by the beach. And they were needed as we had a lot of people coming to check on the event, and the sun was petty strong for the first two days, the third big clouds cover most of the beach and we felt some drops of rain.   

A very nice crowd every day, but specially the last day, as the blue was announced about 30 minutes before closing time and it was reported to be over the 300 lbs, it made it in with only 15 minutes left in the official time.

Award ceremony was held on the beach, a little more people that what Arnulfo had planned for, but were happy to work harder and served everyone. It was a nice beautiful evening and we had great comments from all of our friends.

We would like to thank the Bisbee Family, Patricia, Bob and Wayne and the Bisbee organization with Mr. Cliserio Mercado for giving us the opportunity to serve you, we are very happy that you decided to work with us this year and we are sure that we will do a better job for you next year.

Thank you again

and

See you next year!!!
