Six kayaks, 22 boats and 42 anglers participated in the first annual Fly Fish, light tackle and kayak tournament in Comondu BCS, Mexico which took place on 13, 14 and August 15, 2010 at Puerto Adolfo Lopez Mateos.

Considering that the event organizers only had approximately 4 months to plan the event the attendance was remarkable..  

The event was held only in the Bay with fishing only from shore, kayaks or boats. Tackle included fly and conventional. With all catches released after weights and length was recorded. It was the first all release event ever held in the bay

Three species targeted were snook, grouper and corvina. During the two day event the contestants caught 16 grouper, 4 snook and 24 corvina.
