116 boats fishing Day 5 of Big Rock

There are 116 boats fishing today in the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament out of Morehead City, N.C. while 186 took a lay day.

I mistakenly thought Friday was the last day as is the case with the upcoming white marlin tournaments, but it turns out that Big Rock has a sixth day on Saturday. Therefore, everything is still in play. Yesterday’s seas were reported as being “sporty”, and fishing was poor. However, the multitude of Calcuttas provides good shots every day at thousands of dollars in daily awards.

I’ll have an update late this afternoon.
