Looks like a good tourney. Who is NautiCom Communications?

Thanks

Litetackleredneck · 09-08-2005, 07:11 PM

Am I the only one to notice this, but everyone is jumping on the swordfishing bandwagon. These sword tournys are the new dolphin tournys. Theres one damn near every week from the begining of Aug. to mid Oct.

CaptainEd · 09-08-2005, 07:34 PM

I was just thinking the same thing a few days ago. Pick your Sword tournament of the week. I think I'll hold one soon. 400 per boat, I need to build my sworfishing funds up for the winter. Winner get's a kiss on the cheak from me, unless it's Captain Ken. He gets one on the lips.

CaptKen · 09-08-2005, 07:46 PM

Butt cheeks would be just fine Eddy!

FinalPoint · 09-08-2005, 08:21 PM

look who's back on the forum :lol:

You Guys are funny, but it does appear that there is a new sword tourney every time you log on to here or the other forum.

Tom L · 09-15-2005, 04:52 PM

Long time lurker, first post. usually out there during the week on my yellow ww or Bertram 46 "Masada".

I have helped put this tourney together for the past several years (this is the third one) It started 4 years ago as an "LYC members" event and spread from there. Last tourney a 134# fish was biggest (Salt Shaker 30, not in the Calcutta) but Kunta was 2nd with a 127# and went home with the big $$$. A few answers....Kitty McGowan (Ft. Laud. Billfish tourney) is organizing and running it this year. LYC is the host, free dockage & parking is available from the Captain's meeting on...The club is a great venue, and the expense budget is limited to the food/drinks consumed at the party + trophies & marketing costs. Rest is paid out. At the weigh-in, the grills will be lit on the front lawn, a few coolers with beverages might be available, and fresh showers open for all.....

Shark Tagger · 09-15-2005, 05:41 PM

Sounds good. Is this 100% payout?

Tom L · 09-19-2005, 11:56 AM

Yes, there are some food and beverage costs for snacks and drinks at the Captain's meeting and awards party, but the rest is paid out.

Mike · 09-19-2005, 01:51 PM

I bet the bite will be very good for this tournament after the hurricane... we'll see.

Tom L · 09-21-2005, 01:35 PM

Hope so Mike !

albar1 · 09-21-2005, 02:29 PM

Shark Tagger · 09-24-2005, 03:25 PM

Way to go to the guys that competed and weighed fish. The winds sure were blowing at the dock.

I believe Drew "Darkside" aboard Chips A'Hoy took first...

Shark Tagger · 09-25-2005, 01:37 PM

Alright Darkside! You seem to win tournaments when you aren't running them! I was with the wife down on fort lauderdale beach last night, and the wind was ripping sand all over the place. You guys must of been rocking and rolling.

I had the radio with me and didn't hear one mention of the sword tournament?

Capt Ted · 09-25-2005, 05:37 PM

Good Job boys. We were out in a friends 25 Contender and called it a night around 10:00 with 2 releases of small fish. Seas were getting to big for one of our crew and decided to call it a night.

I saw one of those purple hydroglows in the water. would like to get my hands on it. Any help?

Verado06 · 09-25-2005, 07:07 PM

Good work. The finest kind is next weekend, anyone fishing it?

hannaman · 09-25-2005, 07:46 PM

Nice job Drew, 3 in the boat on a tournament night is smokin. Who went for 2nd and 3rd?

Darkside · 09-25-2005, 08:11 PM

Thanks guys for the congrats. It was not easy with the sea conditions but we got into them. Nov. 5 next leg for my tournament series.

I believe Weekly Sails took 2nd with an 83 pound fish and Masada was 3rd with an 81 pound fish. Masada also had a release of a 48"er.

J.P Freeman · 09-26-2005, 07:40 AM

Congrats, Drew and Chips A'Hoy. I hope to be down the 5th for Leg 2.

Yeah, we got to see that purple hydroglow - up close. Didn't we Larry? :lol:

Shark Tagger · 09-26-2005, 08:32 AM

I think the purlple light is not a hydroglow but a Swordlight,

albar1 · 09-26-2005, 08:40 AM

I have a purple swordlight, I liked it so much I got a white one as well. Call Tek from www.reelproshop.com he will hook you up.

Beerman · 09-26-2005, 08:41 AM

Well my tourney luck plagues me again.......I was suppose to fish North out of Palm Beach, so we decided not to enter the tourney......anyway ended up fishing out of Boca and getting a 62 inch fatty, that most likely would have won it.

Congrats Drew and Mitch on your finishes

Shark Tagger · 09-26-2005, 10:05 AM

Usually works that way..nice fish Probably about 120?
