2013 Bohicket Gov. Cup - Day One

The 2013 Bohicket Governor's Cup will forever be linked with the surprise formation of Tropical Storm Andrea, and it's almost overnight effects in the Lowcountry. It poured rain on Wednesday during the Captain's meeting and the forecast for Friday fishing looked dire. Understandably, several boats elected not to fish on short notice, making the Bohicket fleet 18-boats strong. Day One fishing conditions on Thursday were surprisingly calm from all reports, and a good number of billfish were released. Fishing out of Toler's Cove, Showtime took the early lead with two blue marlin released and one sailfish released. In second place is Cassique with two blue marlin releases, followed by Rascal with one blue marlin released and two sailfish released. The meatfish weigh-in was all mahi and Dixon Pearce holds the top spot with his 34.6-pound dolphin from Sportin' Life. Cassique has the second position on mahi with a 33.8-pound fish for Chris Gepford. Youth angler Loyce Taylor brought a nice 31.6-pounder to the scales for Legal Holiday.
