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.
