Happy Thursday!! We have a lot to talk about in this report. Offshore, nearshore, back country.. the whole nine yards! Again, forgive me for the sound. Trying to get the kinks worked out with this new phone. I'll make Justin fix it for me!

Sorry if I sound like I'm talking through a tin can. I got a new phone and I'm still getting use to it. We are in the middle of some of the best bill fishing of the summer. I'll get you up to speed with that and all the other fishing in this report.

The Pirate's Cove Billfish Tournament is in the books! I'll update you on the finals of all areas of the tournament plus the fishing from over the weekend in this report.

Wrapping things up out here at the 43rd Annual Pirate's Cove Billfish Tournament.

While we wait for fish to be weighed we wandered down the dock a few feet to chat with Hunter Smith of ChillyWater! What a delicious refreshing beverage to sip on a hot day like today!

As we await the arrival of the tournament fleet we talk with Capt. Marty about how the photo verification system works as well as the polygraph test. These two process can play BIG into the tournament outcome!

Capt. Marty has come out of the scoring room and has given us an update on the tournament standings and what happened with the blue marlin that the Water Tight was hooked up to the last time we checked in.

It's the fourth and final day of the tournament and we are hooked up right now! The Water Tight is hooked up with a sizeable blue marlin! More updates on that and the final results of the tournament heading your way!!

Coming into the final day of the Pirate's Cove Billfish Tournament and it's still anybody's game!! I'll talk about that and all the other fishing taking place in this report.

Coming up on Day 3 of the 43rd Annual Pirate's Cove Billfish Tournament. I'm tired but I'm doing just fine. Very happy to be here every year. I'll get you clued in on how things have been in the tournament and how fishing has been elsewhere as well!
