Bisbee Tournaments October Countdown

As the Bisbee Cabo Offshore and the Bisbee Black and Blue drew closer, Tournament Director Wayne Bisbee observed, "The number of teams that registered for the East Cape Offshore in August was 96, an increase of 42%. In addition, the payout was the largest ever at $1,582,975, so we anticipate our Cabo registration numbers will increase as well.  And, of course, as numbers increase, so do the payouts. So, we should have great tournaments this year!   

He continued, "In addition, almost all COVID restrictions have been lifted, which allows the events to return to normal. The one exception is the "everyone must always wear a mask" requirement stipulated by the state government."

And he and I both sighed in relief.

The events for both Bisbee Tournaments will be headquartered on the marina side of Puerto Parisio Mall for Registration, Kickoff parties, and Weigh-ins. Awards for the Los Cabos Offshore will be back at Maria Corona Restaurant, and Black and Blue Awards will be back at the API Cruise Ship Pier.

Forty-one years later, the three Bisbee Family events have exceeded the ONE MILLION DOLLAR THRESHOLD multiple times, distributing 18 checks exceeding ONE MILLION DOLLARS to individual Teams!

"It's one of the richest events in all of sport fishing, so if you want a shot at the big bucks, be sure to enter as many of the optional jackpots as your wallet will allow. On the plus side, you'll be wetting a line in one of sport fishing's greatest destinations, so you're already a winner the moment you step off the plane in Cabo."… Sam White, Editor-in-Chief, Marlin.
