El Crisal wins the Trolling Fishing Contest

Forty-nine fishing enthusiasts and 19 boats participated last Saturday, October 27 in the 'Concurso de Pesca al Curricán' organised by the Altea Club Náutico.

For the first time this year Terre y Mar, decided to support the event and collaborate with the Altea Club Náutico.

In order to promote responsible fishing and awareness in the marine environment, each boat has only been able to present a maximum of six pieces per permitted species: bass man, melva, llampuga and bonito.

With this restriction, it is intended that anglers do not exhaust the fish banks and travel to different areas to look for various different species.

The ship Crisal, skippered by Salvador Pérez and manned by Santiago Carrillo took first position with a total of 7800 grams captured.

In second place, León IV, Gustavo Moreno and crew members Rosa Mª Canales, Alejandro Moreno and Pablo Moreno were classified, who achieved a weighing of 7580 grams and has also been awarded the prize for the largest piece thanks to the capture of a llaruuga of 1430 grams.

The third position went to Brillante, skippered by Timoteo Mulet and manned by Tomas Pajaron, with a total of 7280 grams of fish caught..

The contest began at 7:00 am and the fishermen had about 6 hours of fishing to get the greatest diversity of species and the best sizes. At 13:00 the catches were weighed for the best catches

Later trophies were handed out over lunch at the Club Náutico restaurant where all the participants enjoyed a main dish a steamed seafood rice.

The prizes were given out by the fishing spokesperson of the Club Náutico de Altea Joaquín Rodríguez de Vera and the representative of the company Terre and Mar Sasha Essers who thanked all the participants for their attendance and gave the winners a special trophy consisting of fishing material from the Terre y Mar store.
