Each leg presents a new challenge, where momentum can shift with a single bite, and legends are made one release at a time.

About Fish Bluewater
Fish Bluewater was born from a passion for competitive fishing.
Growing up, I always had a love for the ocean and the angling pursuit of just about anything that swam. Over time, the passion turned into obsession. And then it happened, the defining moment in every angler’s life. I got my first boat, a 19’ Mako, thanks to the incredible generosity of two amazing parents and a family friend who simply said, “You’ve got to get that boy a boat.” It wasn’t fancy and it wasn’t fast, but it gave me a new level of access to the one place in life where I was happiest and for that I am forever grateful.
Not long after the new boat arrived, new friendships in the fishing community led to my first fishing team and amazing tournament adventures that have spanned three decades together with close friends who I still fish with to this day.
Fast forward to the college years, a part time job at a local tackle shop opened the door to my first experience running a fishing tournament. There was no business plan. No marketing strategy. What was present then and is still present today is a pure passion for the sport and a commitment to running events that were built with the angler’s interests in mind. In the last 30 years, that passion and pledge has enabled Fish Bluewater to build some of the most popular and successful offshore fishing tournaments around the globe.
