The
Antigua Barbuda Sport Fishing Association is a lively,
vibrant crowd of fisherman who fish for the pure
enjoyment of it, and once back on land, love to party.
Each
year there are two main events: |
|
 |
 |
|
The Annual
Sport Fishing Tournament which take places during May or
June each year at Whitsun, starts with a launch party a few
weeks prior to the event, followed by a Friday evening
Captain’s Briefing, two days of fishing, and the final
tournament award launch on Bank Holiday Monday. Even if you
are not a fisherman, this is one of the most enjoyable
social events on the
years calendar in Antigua. |
|
| The drink
sponsors – this year Carib Beer, Cavalier Rum, Bailey’s,
Smirnoff and Johnny Walker make sure drinks are plentiful
and cheap, and Chickie’s Hi-Fi keeps the party going as long
as you can last. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
Cash prizes
and trophy’s are awarded to the most successful individual
fishermen and women and boats during the tournament prize
giving lunch. The party starts at 11am and goes on well into
the evening – a great way to spend a Bank Holiday.
Doc
Fuller’s
‘Best in the West’ one day tournament happens each
November, and is a competitive one day event based from
Jolly Harbour.
The
1st Annual Frankie Nunes Memorial One Day Fishing
Tournament will also be held this year at Nelson’s
