2015 Pirate’s Cove Billfish Tournament – Sea I Sea Earns Top Honors

In the end their lead proved to be insurmountable.
After jumping ahead on Thursday, Sea I Sea held off several challengers to win top honors in this week’s 32nd Annual Pirate’s Cove Billfish Tournament. The Viking 66, run by Capt. Rob Mahoney and owned by Don Mills, pocketed $175,400 for catching 15 billfish overall. The top team released 11 white and four blue marlin during three days of fishing to tally 1,500 points. A total of 56 teams were competing for nearly $468,000 in overall prize money.
“It’s just so exciting, words cannot express how I feel right now,” Mills said after Friday night’s awards presentation. “I’m happy for my whole crew and Capt. Rob, they’re all like family. We were just very blessed and fortunate to be here.”
Uno Mas mounted a serious challenge on the last day only to come up a little short. Led by owner Brooks Smith and Capt. Tommy Lynskey, the 68 Bayliss released 11 billfish (eight white marlin and three sailfish), including five on Friday, to earn second-place honors and $117,840.
Dirty Business, a 58 Paul Mann owned by Paul Hebert and run by Capt. Newt Cagle, was named the third-place team overall. The release of nine white and one blue marlin, based on time, was good for a $57,560 payout.

El Niño: Why Now is the Time to Act
Article Courtesy: cnn.com | By Ancha Srinivasan | Originally published Aug 17, 2015
This year we have seen a succession of unusual weather events across Asia: Deadly heat waves in India and Pakistan, widespread drought in Cambodia, Indonesia, and Vietnam, and planned water rationing in Thailand.
Climate scientists have confirmed that these are all likely results of an emerging period of El Niño, a periodic weather event characterized by warming ocean temperatures. Already, 2015 has been the hottest year ever recorded.
While the effects of El Niño are global and widespread, it hits Asian countries the hardest. Drought becomes a more common occurrence, leading to energy, food and water insecurity.
With El Niño expected to last well into 2016, Asian countries need to take measures to mitigate its impact — especially for the poor.

VIDEO: Understanding El Nino
Above: This video demonstrates how warm water in the central Pacific can influence prevailing pressure and precipitation patterns across the ocean basin. These atmospheric disturbances influence the average position of the Jet Stream. In turn, the jet alters temperature and precipitation patterns in the United States.

Above: From Scott Rickert: Nice catch of meat from this week’s Crosthwait Billfish Tournament. Lots of dolphin, wahoo and blackfins. ALSO A HUGE SHOUT OUT AND THANK YOU TO CHRIS GALATI AND GALATI YACHT SALES for the use of their boats in this tournament series!!!! Mitchell Roffer, the rip we were fishing was one of the best I’ve ever seen for west central Florida’s eastern Gulf. It was all in under 500′ of water. Looked more like it belonged south of South Pass, Louisiana. Loaded with gaffer dolphin and wahoo. Also saw a few billfish. Enough to collect a healthy pay check at the awards! Thank you.
