27th Annual Treasure Cay Billfish Tournament, June 13-18, 2010, Offers Cash Payout
13-Year-Old Out-Fished Seasoned Anglers in 2009
ABACO, BAHAMAS, 8/09- - Treasure Cay Hotel Resort & Marina announces that its 27th
Annual Treasure Cay Billfish Tournament (TCBT) will be held June 13-18, 2010, Abaco,
Bahamas. This tournament follows the remarkable 2009 victory by a 13-year-old, who out-fished
seasoned anglers for first place. Fishing aboard
Maria, FL released two blue marlin in one day, the largest weighing nearly 500 lbs.
The TCBT modified release tournament offers four days of fishing, social parties, dinners and
fun competitions. It will continue its popular guaranteed cash payout introduced last year,
ranging from $10,000 for a minimum of ten boats and up to $50,000 for participation of 50 boats.
Open to the public, the tournament format consists of multiple awards for billfish, plus awards for
tuna, dolphin and wahoo. Release point standings are verified by the participant’s own digital
and/or video camera with an image that can verify the time and date the photo was taken.
Registration for up to six team members, including boat entry, cash prize eligibility, dinners,
cocktail parties, team goody bag with t-shirts & hats and room discounts is $2,950 per team.
For the fun fish division of tuna, dolphin and wahoo there is an optional payout that has rivaled
top prizes of U.S. based tournaments. In addition to the cash prizes, winners receive beautiful
trophies and the top team is honored on a statuesque Perpetual Trophy showcased in the
resort's Spinnaker Restaurant, one of the largest air conditioned out-island restaurant facilities
available for events. Awards are also presented to Top Lady and Junior Anglers.
