Awesome 39th Annual Offshore Fishing Tournament yesterday out of Port Canaveral! Congratulations to the Easy Drinkin team who won the $10K grand prize and calcutta with a 57.2lb kingfish! Second year in a row that the Easy Drinkin team has won largest fish.

Thank you to all of our Anglers, sponsors, volunteers, and Bluepoints Marina at Port Canaveral for hosting our tournament again this year. The weather was awesome - our big 30x50 tent kept all the spectators comfortable on a warm day in the Port.

Congratulations to all of our winners! Darius Adams won the Grand Prize raffle drawing and now has 2x deep drop Daiwa electric reels+Live Bottom rods to target tilefish or grouper or .... Congratulations Darius! BTW, Darius's company Clear2Create donated all the custom marine tools that went into the captain's buckets.

We hope everyone enjoyed the tournament and Captain's Party!
