In May make sure to stop by during the first leg of the South Carolina Governor’s Cup Billfishing Series, the Bohicket Invitational Billfish Tournament.

Bohicket Marina works closely with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources during the tournament each year. Tag and release of all billfish species is encouraged to help in the conservation of marine wildlife. Together, all five tournaments in the South Carolina Governor’s Cup have helped raise the rate of billfish tagged and released to almost ninety percent!
