Fishing Tournaments on Riviera Nayarit

Two fishing tournaments are scheduled on the Riviera Nayarit this October of 2013!

The first fishing tournament will be the La Cruz de Huanacasxtle Fishing Tournament. Tepic’s Sport Fishing Club is hosting and organizing the 2nd International Fishing Tournament in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, from October 9-13, 2013.
There is more than $300,000 in U.S. currency of prizes that will be given away for the winners of this tournament. In the first International Sport Fishing Tournament in La Cruz de Huanacaxtle the number of participating vessels for attendance was a record with a total of 50 boats entered an amount that had not been recorded in previous tournaments, as well as record fish!

Banderas Bay is the largest natural bay on the Riviera Nayarit, and in Mexico. Banderas Bay is also one of the deepest bays in the world reaching depths of over 3,000 feet. Extending across 68 kilometers (42 miles) of the pacific coast, the bay begins in the south at Puerto Vallarta and flows northwest into the Riviera Nayarit at La Cruz de Huanacaxtle and Punta de Mita, then continues north beyond Sayulita and through to Lo de Marcos, where, the other October fishing tournament will be taking place!
This Riviera Nayarit, La Cruz Fishing tournament starts on Wednesday, October 9^th with the welcoming day, and ending on Sunday, October 13^th for the last day of fishing and the closing ceremonies. There is sure to be a bit crows and plenty of partying on the Riviera Nayarit that weekend!

LO De Marcos Surf Fishing Tournament
Lo de Marcos is located on the Riviera Nayarit between San Pancho, and Rincon de Guayabitos off of the 200 road. A beautiful and authentic Mexican pueblo with clean pristine beaches, and an estuary at the north end of the beach make Lo de Marcos quite special.

The fishing tournament is being put on by the Club de Pesca de Orilla Surf Fishing Tepic A. C. on the 26^th and 27^th of October this year.
The entry fee is 200 pesos and includes a shirt to the first 100 registrants.
Pretty much whatever bites for the largest fish, all fishing is from the beach. Bait is not allowed!
Last year the prizes were 5000 peso and fishing rods.
It starts at 2sm on October 26th. Up and out early!!! The deadline for registration is 10 seconds before it starts. Women are encouraged to participate. Also, if you need a rod and reel, stop by

Coco Loco Sports & Outdoors located on Main Street in Lo de Marcos, who are also helping to promote this event. If you need a rod stop on by to talk to Lisa or Cory.

Mexico Airline Pet Update for Puerto Vallarta Airport

U. S. CONSULAR AGENCY PUERTO VALLARTA
PETS IN AIRPLANES POLICY UPDATE

All of us from RivieraNayaritFun and the 7 town websites covering the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico hope that this information helps you to fly with pets, as our pets are so very important to all of us. They are like our children, and part of our family! We will do our best to help you stay informed. Hope to see you in Mexico on the Beautiful Riviera Nayarit soon! We wish you ease and grace with this endeavor.

This information was received from the United States Consular Agency. The publication has been reproduced here verbatim to help you discover what you need to do for flying with pets to Mexico.
The General Direction of Agriculture (SAGARPA) has regulated the importation domestic pets [cats and dogs] into Mexico. This Mexican institution has required Mexican Customs to collect a `clean bill of health’ for every pet upon entering the country. To comply with this requirement one of the following may be submitted…

Get a Good Health Certificate from Vet
A recent [within 30 days] certificate of good health issued by a registered US veterinarian [DMV]. To fly with pets to Mexico, this letter must be in the veterinarian’s office letterhead with his or her address, phone number, National Accreditation number, License Number and State of practice. The body of the letter must certified that he or she has inspected the animal and that it appears to be in good health and free of any contagious diseases. The letter should also contain the following information–name of pet, species, breed, age, sex, color and size. It must also mention last date of parasite treatment, viral and rabies vaccinations.

US APHIS Form 7001 http://www.aphis.usda.gov/library/forms/pdf/APHIS7001.pdf. For the APHIS office closest to you visit–http://www.aphis.usda.gov…lth/area_offices/. This form must be completely filled out with your address in the US, the address the pet is going to in Mexico, a certification by a registered veterinarian and an official seal by a USDA Veterinary Services Office. Please note APHIS 7001 forms without the USDA/APHIS/VS seal and veterinarian certification WILL NOT be accepted anymore. T he form is only valid within 30 days of being sealed. Please note that failure to present any of these documents will result in the pet being held up in customs until a registered veterinarian can be called. In addition to paying the Veterinarian’s fee for an airport inspection a wait of several hours can be expected, especially during weekends and holidays.

To fly with your pets you need a recent [within 30 days] certificate of good health issued by a registered Mexican veterinarian [MVZ]. This letter must be in the veterinarian’s office letterhead and mention his or her address and phone number as well as his “Cedula Professional” number. The body of the letter must certified that he or she has inspected the animal and that it appears to be in good health and free of any contagious diseases. The letter should also contain the following information—name of pet, species, breed, age, sex, color and size. It must also mention last date of parasite treatment, viral and rabies vaccinations.

We had requested further clarification of the last paragraph and were told the following..

The last paragraph is what would happen if somebody came in without either APHIS form or letter from US vet. A Mexican vet would have to be called into the airport to perform an on-site health assessment. It also applies in the case of a brief visit back (within 3 weeks) and forth from Mexico to the US. The passenger can just get a couple of letters from their local vet and use them to get out and back into Mexico.

To fly with your pets is a few more hoops to jump through, but well worth it, as these new laws will help prevent disease and other issues of the pet population here in Mexico. Many Blessings for your journey!
