Jamie Bunn. With the unique format of the Florida Sailfish Cup, those days are over. Every day is a tournament day. When the bite heats up in their area, teams will have the opportunity to capitalize on a hot bite and record it on their quest to win the Florida Sailfish Cup,” said Bunn. Similarly, they will have the option of passing on those tournament days when fishing is terribly slow or terribly rough. Every tournament fisherman dreams of being able to pick when and where they want to fish and now they can. Bluewater Movements is proud to announce the addition of the 7th tournament in their line up, the Florida Sailfish Cup. The new tournament will span the entire east coast of Florida, from Fernandina Beach to Key West from November 1st to May 31st each year. Eligible species are Sailfish, White Marlin & Blue Marlin. Teams have the opportunity to fish in four different zones - North, Central, South & the Florida Keys. And whether they choose to fish in their backyard or explore different waters; the choice is entirely theirs. Each release will be scored to the zone where it occurs. There are several unique aspects to the Florida Sailfish Cup, but the most notable is the fact that teams will decide their five fishing days during the tournament with an added bonus that enables them to purchase a sixth mulligan day prior to the start of the tournament to replace their lowest scoring day of the season. The Florida Sailfish Cup purse is built to offer teams a wide variety of ways to cash checks. Each zone will award a cash prize and trophy to the winner in addition to an overall payout to the top 3 teams across all four zones. Add to that, a set of overall calcuttas, three calcuttas in each zone, including dailies, a dead bait division and a small boat division will set the stage for many ways to win BIG in the Cup! “We could not be more excited to bring this unprecedented tournament format forward and bring fishing teams together with representation over the entire state of Florida,” said Jamie Bunn. Which teams will conquer the Cup? What zones will they come from? Will it be dead bait or live bait? Let the Countdown to the Cup begin!”
