The 10th Annual HMY Billfish Blast from May 25th to 29th, promises to be a milestone to remember!   Considered to be one of the most competitive fishing tournaments in the Bahamas, this highly anticipated tournament continues to highlight the basics which participants look forward to year after year; fun, camaraderie and friendly, but fierce, competition!

HMY is pleased to announce the Tournament Committee, which includes Tom Sanders as Tournament Director and the return of Laurie Ciecierski as Tournament Coordinator, who guarantees a very special event this year.

Laurie’s involvement with past Billfish Blasts during 2002-2005, gives many participants an added incentive to attend.   Laurie enthusiastically states, “We’ve always treated the Billfish Blast as a “Party for our Pals,” and this year promises not to disappoint as the popular Finale Show is going to be bigger and better than ever!”

The five-day event promises a fun-filled line up of prime entertainment, exciting activities and of course, a week’s worth of world-class sport fishing!   The tournament has gained a reputation as a great family experience, as many activities are planned for both tournament participants as well as non-anglers.
