Anglers from Puerto Rico bested Dominican crews and walked off with all the trophies at the 46th International White Marlin Fishing Tournament, the leading event organized by the Santo Domingo Yacht Club at their Cabeza de Toro facility. The visiting fishermen were impressed by the large number of fish that were captured and released, as per tournament rules. The Puerto Rico Light Tackle Team (PRLT I) caught 13 fish, for a leading 1,300 points. Fishermen Carlos Garcia, Bruno Rodriguez and Eugenio Belabel won the main tournaments of the event held last weekend. In second place, Los Frescos, also from Puerto Rico, won second place with 1,100 with Puerto Rican fishermen Luis Dordova, Jorge Muro and Richard Matos Senior. Third place went to the San Juan Shopping Center team, made up by Eduardo Read, Jesus Montero and Ignacio Cruz.
In the individual events, Puerto Rican Angel Muntaner won the first place with 800 points, followed by Dominican Domingo Viyella with 700 points.
Summer is the best time of year for fishing in the southern and eastern Caribbean.
