The recent Marina Puerto Escondido Tournament highlights Loreto’s Sportfishing as 30 teams traveled to the iconic, peaceful, Loreto area to compete during the 2nd annual MPE 2-day offshore event. Coincidentally, this was the first big gamefish tournament of the 2021 Baja Sur season.
Hosted by the newest marina on the Baja Peninsula located just 15 miles south of Loreto, it accommodates mega-yachts up to 200-feet. Owners Inmobiliaria JEP and Hamann companies have completely revamped the marina with state-of-the-art slips, amenities, and premium services.
Ideal spring weather greeted the participants, comprised of both local and visiting teams, who met to match their skill and knowledge, mixed with a little luck if need be. The fishing area featured the productive waters of the Bahía de Loreto National Park and the area surrounding the Marina Puerto Escondido. The fishing grounds lived up to their reputation as being one of the most prolific in the Sea of Cortez.
On Day One, the sight of 30 Teams and their boats, ranging in size from 20-foot Mexican Pangas to an 80-foot sport fisher all jockeying for position before the flare gun start, reflected the diversity of the participants. As the flare sailed across the sunlit sky, the fleet accelerated. It was clear some took the inshore challenge of the big yellowtail seriously. Others headed east offshore in search of dorado and billfish. With poor radio reception, it would be late afternoon at the scales before the Teams' success or failure could be revealed.
Following COVID-19 protocol, face masks were always to be worn and social distancing of six feet of spacing between every person was to be in place throughout the event. Only the angler and their catch could come to the scale, eliminating team photos!
Team Marmakos on Allure was first to the scale with a 31.1-pound yellowtail which was caught in the first hour of fishing. Hunter, San Diego Ca., marveled, “All we caught were cookie-cutter fish like this one.”
Later during the Saturday night awards, Rebecca Ehrenberg, Pisces Sportfishing, riding aboard La Chingona confided that they had found a bunch of marlin and managed to release seven for the day.
On Day Two, as teams gathered at the start line, the winners from the first day had already received their rewards and were buoyed with the confidence of winning. The remainder of the fleet was fueled with determination to not let their second chance to be in the winner’s column be wasted.
That afternoon, teams straggled in after two busy days of action, hoping to be the team with the most releases or the most dorado and yellowtail to weigh in.
The total numbers for the event included 61 dorado brought to the scale, as well as 34 yellowtail. In the release division, 61 billfish released were during the event.

Mexico is on phase 2 of covid19 prevention and the Municipality of Loreto is abiding to promoting social distancing. The regulations have not shut down stores and within the Keep Loreto Magical https://www.keeploretomagical.org we want to make sure that producers of the Sierra La Giganta, as well as small mom/pop shops of Loreto stay afoot in your consumer choices. I think Bodega (Walmart) and Ley (Safeway) are going to be okay during these changes. If you want to buy food, why not try locally own businesses? So myself and Erik are committed to serving as bridge for weekly deliveries in down town Loreto and Nopolo from local ranchers and local stores for cleaning products or other house hold needs. We plan to do this at NO EXTRA COST. There is a nice diversity of items available before you have to go to the mentioned franchise stores (Pescador and Big Mart are locally owned businesses by Familia Amador).
Here are pictures of veggies + fruits + meats + fish options available. For meat: there is goat, beef, chicken, turkey. Fish is from San Nicolas via cooperative with Mr Luciano Sanchez. Dairy can be from Rancho Tiombo or Rancho San Felipe or San Javier. Ranchers have prepared food to go (menudo, or pozole) and much more. There will not be a minimum purchase, just 1 delivery day: Friday morning for Nopolo, and friday afternoon for Loreto (where we may make several stops). This is not only locally grown, no pesticides, fresh of day veggies, and no hormones on meats, but the majority of the crops are heirloom and the price is the same or better than the franchise stores. For ordering delivery and more information you can email me at cecilia_fischer@yahoo.com.mx or cell 612 153 3752
Because the community supported agriculture movement was started with your support 3 years ago, Loreto now has food options that are local organic foods, cost accesible to Mexicans and prices that don't jump overnight from the inflation we are currently facing with the devaluation of the peso. We want to keep having these growers accesible to all consumers. In other news: My mom - Cecilia Cavia will have fresh sourdough bread for delivery (in case you didn't know - she is an accomplished baker) PanQuePan is very good too! My moms store "El Porton" in Nopolo plans to let some organic vendors leave their items at her store and she will be opening her store from 11am to 3pm. Jorge Magdaleno CSA is also doing deliveries with a lovely variety of items.
Our dear friends at La Choya store with Miglenne Glez S and Isaac Aleman Feerman are also doing deliveries.
We are just focussing more on ranch products.
For more options on take-out from locally own businesses please look up the fabulous Facebook group that
has been made by Dia Morales for local small business of Loreto (there is so much lovely entrepreneurship!) -https://www.facebook.com/groups/496168967181259/
It has over 15,000 members and Loreto has only 20,000 residents. It is a beautiful effort to support
local business. All in spanish with lots of pictures and you can also hit translation button.
Thank you for reading long post and choosing to support local, it truly makes a measurable difference.
Thank you Laurie Vance for the motivation, cecilia_fischer@yahoo.com.mx or cell 612 153 3752
