Governor’s Cup Billfish Tourney

Governor’s Cup Billfish Tourney

The Bohicket Billfish Invitational is the annual kick-off event for the SC Governor’s Cup Billfish Series. Held at Bohicket Marina & Market May 11-14, 2011, participants battled it out offshore for big game fish like white and blue marlin, and meat fish like tuna and dolphin. The tournament attracted thousands of people to the marina where they watched the sportfishing boats come in at the end of each day fishing, watched the weigh-ins, and enjoyed music, food, drinks, and an incredible atmosphere! Grand Prize was $10,000!
