TurnKey Solutions may specialize in cutting edge technology and innovation, but on their off-time the team enjoys deep bottom fishing and trolling all over the marianas. This sponsorship was an easy decision for TurnKey.

ISLA was established in 2018 by a group of anglers that treat fishing as a way of life. The Mafuti Derby is restricted to the waters inside the Saipan lagoon and participating boats can’t exceed 17 feet in length.

I Sanhalom Laguna Anglers Association president Joe Torres said that the youth are “always welcome” to the fishing derby held every year within the waters inside the Saipan lagoon.

This year’s 4th Annual Mafuti Derby had a good number of children join their families out on the 46 boats within the lagoon, and with the event held close to shore, it promotes a safe and fun activity and competition.

Torres then said that “we always want to thank our sponsors- our sponsors that support us every year. This is our fourth year but all sponsors, we want to thank them. We want to thank all the fishermen that came out to join the event. And also especially thank you to the committee that organized all this stuff… We’re going to try and grow the event next year again and hopefully have more youth involvement.”
