2024 HMY Lowcountry Cup - New Look Tourney Rules

The HMY Lowcountry Cup is fishing July 4 – 6 out of Toler’s Cove Marina, and their Patriotic July 4th Party at the Aquarium kicks off July fishing with a Bang.

Tim Gredick is with HMY Yachts, and founder of the Lowcountry Cup. “We are grateful to be an official Governor’s Cup Billfishing Series tournament this year, and have a few new ideas in store,” said Gredick. “Fishing teams normally pick two of three days to fish, but our tournament allows teams to fish all three days and then pick which two they would like to have count. With awards ranging from billfish release to meatfish weigh-ins this brings in a degree of gamesmanship."

"With he large number of sailfish in the area right now, we tweaked the tournament rules reporting every single sail hook-up to the committee boat, so teams only need to report their sailfish releases. Also, we have partnered with Team Man Cave to offer a $5000 reward to the team with the top youth for billfish releases, in hopes that more youth anglers will get to an opportunity to fight any billfish out there.” 


At the end of the fishing on July 6, it was Team Buddy Rowe claiming first place in the HMY Lowcountry Cup by releasing four blue marlin and 12 sailfish.
