The fourth annual Sailfish Slam began with a festive Captain's meeting at Salty Mike's on Oct. 6, and tournament teams enjoyed some fellowship. Stopping by Atlantic Tackle the following day to get some top-secret sailfish tips from Jeremy Burnham for my sailfish trip on Lil Bit, I was told that Burnham was fishing on the Tournament on Rock'N'Reel and that we were now 'at war' until the Sailfish Slam was decided - nothing like some friendly competition. The ocean was flat and warm for all three tournament days and twelve boats released 21 sailfish and 2 blue marlin during that time. An oyster roast and awards event was held at the City Marina on Saturday evening.
