Bikinis and Fish – UjENA 2008

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is one of the top big game fishing destinations on the planet.

Get on board with the hottest swimwear models in the world! All the excitement of a Bisbee’s tournament – catch ‘n release Marlin, Tuna and Dorado – with bikini models and photo crews on-hand to catch all the action!

Fish. Girls. Fish. Bikinis. Fish.

More fun than a fisherman ever imagined. Smack in the middle of the biggest swimwear model competition in the world: the week-long Ujena Jam!

Professionals, amatuers and casual anglers are welcome to enter the competition.

ujena bikinis
General Information

Marlins are catch and release. Tuna and Dorado qualify for weigh in. Please keep only what the boat can use. Excessive kills and wasting of fish will disqualify the entrant.

Have a UjENA Photo Crew on your Boat

A UjENA model and photographer crew can join your team for an optional photo shoot on your boat. (Additional fee of $300 per day.) A UjENA photographer will be taking photos of the model in UjENA bikinis and covering the action on your boat. Images will be made available to the team, and the crew with the best images will receive a UjENA Image Award and each team member will receive a $1,000 UjENA Jam Cabo scholarship.

“We are very glad to be working with the Bisbee Organization this year. The fish in Puerto Vallarta are big, the UjENA models are hot, and the parties are a blast,” stated UjENA Jam founder and director Bob Anderson.

The entry fee for the Offshore Jam is a mere $2,500. per four person team, and the cash prizes are equally modest at $20,000.00 (based on 20 teams), plus a ton of great things from Pelagic High Performance Offshore Gear. “The emphasis here is not on giant purses like the Bisbee’s has become famous for, it is a real tournament, but we’re concentrating on flat out fun-fun-fun” said Wayne Bisbee, the tournament’s Director.

Anglers and their guests are encouraged to stay at the official UjENA Jam hotel with the models and photographers. The cost is $795 (based on double occupancy) for five nights starting August 27, 2008. This price includes all food and drink at the hotel, transfer from the PV airport, all taxes and the VIP Jam Event Pass. Single room upgrade is $229. If you do not stay at the official hotel the UjENA VIP event pass is $400 and required for all anglers and their guests.

VallartaScene Expart Meetup at Casa Isabel

This week’s Wednesday meetup is April 8 from 6 to 8 pm. Everyone is invited.

casa isabel logo
Every other Wednesday evening from 6 pm until approximately 8 pm, The Puerto VallartaScene Forum hosts the “VallartaScene Thursday Night Party.”

Whether you’re an Xpat, Tourist, or National, everyone is welcome to this truly International gathering and if you’re new just come up to us (we’ll be easy to find) and introduce yourself. Casa Isabel is “adult only” so please don’t bring children to these meetings (there are no lifeguards available for the pools). English and Spanish are Spoken (and sometimes French).

The meetings are from 6 to 8 pm, and happy hour with 2 for 1 national drinks is extended to these hours (for our group only). Casa Isabel also often offers a special menu for Vallartascene members. Beer is 20 pesos. Come and meet old friends or make new ones. Casa Isabel also has a fine, moderately priced restaurant menu if you also wish to dine there.

This is a very loose gathering of expats, nationals and visitors at happy hour for cocktails, conversation and snacks. Approximately 30-50 people normally show up at these weekly events in high season at this spectacularly beautiful restaurant. No reservations are necessary and anyone can drop in or out at any time.

You don’t have to be a “member” of the VallartaScene Forum to attend but we do request that you sign our guest list. To become a “Board Member” of VallartaScene, all you need do is register at www.VallartaScene.com. I’d like to say that we are all god-fearing, decent people, but in reality we are, as Isabel, the owner of Casa Isabel proudly exclaims, “the motley crew.”

Casa Isabel is an open bar/restaurant. We simply invade it on some Friday evenings. We gather on the back side of the bar.

An old meeting:

If you’ve ever wondered about what it’s like to live as an expat in Vallarta, or if you’ve ever wondered what people are like who live as expats in Vallarta, this is a good way to answer your questions. Don’t be shy. Many of us at this meeting live here in Vallarta. Some of the “regulars” are originally from Canada, some from the USA and some from Mexico.

Check out our forum, VallartaScene.com. It’s an eclectic collage of various strange (and a few normal) individuals who all share a love of Vallarta.
