BAHAMAS WAHOO CHAMPIONSHIPS

Treasure Cay Hotel Resort and Marina will host the fourth leg of the Bahamas Wahoo Championship from 20th-23rd January 1999. This championship, in its second year, is a series of four wahoo tournaments designed to foster a competitive angling atmosphere in pursuit of a species of fish which is not endangered and cannot be harvested commercially. This is the first time the wahoo championship will come to Treasure Cay.

World-renowned as a hot spot for fishing, the Treasure Cay area offers an abundance of large gamefish, including wahoo, which are also prevalent during the winter. A 134 lb wahoo was caught off Treasure Cay a few years ago by John Ward aboard the Sun Dancer.

The entry fee for the Treasure Cay leg of the championship is $900 for boats registered for the Bahamas Wahoo Championship ($1,000 for non-registered boats), which includes a nightly cocktail party, three dinners, souvenirs, awards and more. Anglers can register for the Treasure Cay leg by contacting Treasure Cay Services Inc at 1-800-327-1584 or 954-525-7711. For information about the overall series, contact the Bahamas Out-Islands Promotion Board at 1-800-688-4752.

The 1,500 acre Treasure Cay Resort and Marina offers a well-protected 150 slip full-service marina, a magnificent 3.5 mile sandy beach, an 18 hole championship golf course, newly-renovated marina-front rooms and suites, luxurious beach-front villas, pool and restaurant.
