The 2018 Swordy Shootout is Boshamps Seafood and Oyster House's 3rd annual offshore fishing tournament featuring the saltiest and most skilled captains and crews of the Gulf of Mexico going head to head on some of the biggest and toughest creatures that swim these waters. The two heavyweights in the 2018 Swordy Shootout are the elusive and sneaky White Marlin and the deep dwelling sea monster, the Swordfish. There will be a guaranteed prize of $10,000 a piece for the largest Swordfish and the largest White Marlin brought to the scales Saturday night. There are also eight Calcutta betting categories for Swordfish, Aggregate Swordfish, White Marlin, Tuna, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi as well as a "Tag and Release" category.

After the mandatory captains' meeting on Thursday, Oct. 4th evening, teams will leave their port of call from any location in the Gulf of Mexico with fishing starting at 5:00 am on Friday, Oct 5th morning. Fishing will continue through Friday night until Saturday afternoon, with as much time as needed to get back to the dock by the 9:00 pm deadline to weigh their catch.
