Lowcountryoutdoors.com partners with the SCDNR Governor's Cup Billfishing Series to bring you the unofficial results from each day of offshore fishing. On Day One at Bohicket 24 of 28 boats went fishing and four boats released blue marlin, while two boats lost blue marlin.
Boats releasing a blue marlin were Trust Me, Rascal, My Time Out, and Game On. Game on also released a sailfish so they are in first place right now via release points. Lowcountryoutdoors.com would like to recognize 88-year old angler Buck Morris who released a white marlin on Day One. Furthermore, Buck is a credit to the Governor's Cup legacy of tradition, having fished on Major Motion for 25+ years. Captain Wesley Morris said, "The white marlin ate a Bart Schneider green and black lure about 1 p.m., after turning down a pitch bait." Day One meatfish leaders are as follows: Wahoo - 35 pounds caught by Zack Lyman aboard Miss Magnolia; Dolphin - 27.6-pound caught by Greg Welsh aboard Mary Agnes; Tuna - 7.4-pounds caught by Mark Feltham aboard Trinity V. All boats reported ideal conditions at sea for fishing.
