Boats and baits are in shape with reels and rods ready! ⁠— this Whitsun weekend sees the return of the Sport Fishing Tournament as local, regional, and international anglers fish off.

The dual-sport event reels out with the Mikie Pigott Jr. Memorial Marlin Classic this Friday, June 3, 2022, where avid fishing enthusiasts will display their amazing Catch and Release angling skills in the US$1,000 Buy-In, Winner-Takes-It-All Billfish Tournament.

On the heels of the Marlin Classic, is the much-anticipated 54th Annual Antigua & Barbuda Sport Fishing Tournament, spreading over June 2 to 5. Reel big to break the all-time 1994 Blue Marlin record of 771.25lbs, and win the US$100,000 cash prize. To sweeten the pot, the winner of the Marlin Division will qualify for the 2022 Offshore World Championships.

Lines are in by 6:30 pm on Saturday and 6:00 pm on Sunday. Enjoy the family-friendly boatload of fun at Falmouth Harbour Marina, the official tournament headquarters and weigh-in station. Join seafood lovers on the dock for the day's catch, fresh off the boats.
