Fort Lauderdale Billfish Open

The inaugural Fort Lauderdale Billfish Open is a new stop in 2025, marking the southernmost point of the regular season calendar.  One week after The Catch, Powered by Verizon, the Angling Clubs of SFC's Atlantic Division will apply their learnings from that pro-am and convert them into a season-opening win. 

A hot sailfish bite may lead to angling clubs picking drastically different strategies: either to target the more plentiful sailfish (worth 75 points each) versus running dredges for white marlin (100 points) and the highly-prized blue marlin (450 points each).
