Top Hatteras Billfish Boat-2009

[Captain Jay Kavanagh]

Our charter fleet holds an annual season long billfish count known locally as the East West Tournament. Everyone is welcome to play in the tournament, we have charter boats, local private boats and some transient charter boats that divide up into two teams, the east and the west and compete season long.

Near the end of the season we have a party to celebrate. In addition to being on the winning team, The Bite Me was recognized as the top billfish boat for 2009.

It has been a personal goal of mine for about 10 years to one day be the top billfish boat for the Hatteras Fleet and this year the hard work of our mate Jeremy Hicks and our skilled anglers payed off.

The last three years we have finished second.

Congrats anglers and Mate on the Bite Me and we hope to have another great Billfish year next year!

That's pretty impressive - Congrats Capt Jay & Jeremy.

What was your tally for the year?

[Capt. Lyndon]

Congratulations guys.

[Carson Mac]

No doubt one of the finest capt's on the east coast. Glad you took home the title.

[Captain Jay Kavanagh]

Well I don't know exactly because the tournament has a start and stop date, and stops every day at 3, so not all of you fish gets counted.

Tops at Hatteras is, no doubt, world class. Congratulations captain Jay & Jeremy!
