Dog Days Billfish Tournament
Destin, FL -Of course, being recognized as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village," you can expect Destin to put on one great fishing tournament. With waters that drop off to 100 feet less than ten miles from shore, this August fishing extravaganza manages to catch some of the largest fish on the entire Gulf Coast.
Naturally, a the large purse helps draw interest to the competition... Destin's charter fishing fleet lets out all the stops when Dog Days come around. This is an opportunity to show off their boats and the captain's skills.
Labeled by some the "Billfish Capital of the World," Destin has a world-wide reputation as an outstanding place for landing billfish.
It's been reported that more billfish are caught in the waters of the northern Gulf (including the greater Destin area) than anywhere else in the world.
Both fisherman and fans will enjoy looking
at the blues, whites, and sails all being brought to the docks to be
weighed. It may be luck, but Destin is "The Billfish Capital of
the World" and you won't want to miss the proof.
