Based on time.

Congratulations to Big Dog, our Day One and Day Two Daily winners, and holding a strong First Place Overall! Fish Camp, the two-time returning champions, are in Second Place. Both teams are trolling with dead bait.

We have a Third Place tie, which is held by three of our live bait teams. Due to the lay day setup, the scoring may be a bit confusing in the middle of the game, but Bwana, fishing for the first time today, made a strong debut with their 11:33 release, placing them in Third Place Overall! Fish On and CU Leader tied but in Fourth and Fifth Place, based on release time.

Often may not be the name of the game this year but early is certainly making a difference!

Thank you for the sailfish photo from Fish On reminding the rest of us what they look like.

The company you keep...

Well, this is wild. We have not had a fish released yet today. This is the definition of tough fishing.

The only reports we have received are of the good times being had offshore by our teams despite the lack of bites. The company you keep is important in times like this. Inside jokes, big laughs, and even an offshore sandwich delivery are already highlights of the day. The sting of slow fishing will go away, but the warm memories will stay. The Gold Cup is a special time for all who are involved but even more special for some of our members who have fished it for generations. Those who were once the kids running the docks have kids running the docks or even fishing next them..

So, we've got a fun challenge for you.. Who might have pictures from the Gold Cup from 20, 30, or 40 years ago? Were your parents in them? Maybe even a Grandparent. Someday we'll be remembering these days, today you're making them. Enjoy....

Thank you to Fish Camp for the fun photo. Hope the hats help!

Lots of Fishing...

Two weeks ago, there were fish everywhere. A boat caught 40 in a day! Yesterday was a different story, where did they go? Certainly, they're still here and if anyone can find them it's this fleet. What do you change? Where do you go? You can't sit back and relax when the fishing is slow because every bite counts, it takes focus and a dedication that few understand, but the anglers and crews out there today have what it takes. We wish them all the greatest of luck, you never know what a day will bring!
