After a cordial reception in the gardens of El Cid Marina Beach, the tournament begins the next morning as the 40 or so fishing teams make their way to the deep waters of the Pacific at sunrise. The rules are quite simple: whoever catches the biggest Dorado wins the truck!
Of course there are many other prizes to keep the contest interesting, as if the fishing itself is not enough. By 2 pm, most of the fishing boats return from their competitive forays into the Pacific's choppy waters where the fish are in wild abundance. After that, the official weigh-ins take place and the grand winner is announced. Because of the spectacular scenery, the challenging contest and the generous prizes, the adrenaline runs high before and after the prize announcements.
Dorado are also known as dolphin fish or mahi-mahi in other parts of the world, but no matter what they're called, they remain one of the most popular sportfish in existence. Fishing enthusiasts love the Dorado, according to El Cid Vacations Club, because they fight like tigers, are beautifully colored, and jump high when they're hooked. But most of all, they taste great when grilled or cooked in any of a number of ways.
El Cid Vacations Club points out that Dorado have become a very popular sportfish because they grow large and will bite on just about any type of bait. It is not unusual for a large catch to weight in excess of 90 pounds.
Anglers who visit El Cid Vacations Club for the Dorado Shoot Out have come close to setting national records for the biggest catch. Male Dorados, called bulls, have flat foreheads and tend to be much larger than the female "cows." In fact, the cows rarely exceed 25 pounds, which is why serious fishing competitors are usually in search of male Dorados.
Mazatlán has become a true Dorado capital for fishing enthusiasts. The area's warm waters and ideal conditions have attracted anglers year-round who are in search of the perfect catch and a wonderfully welcoming environment when the fishing day is done! See you in November.
