Why Fish the Chub Cay Series?

Chub Cay sits directly on the edge of the Gulf Stream, just miles from the famed “Pocket,” an area known for concentrated billfish activity. Teams regularly target:

• Blue Marlin
• White Marlin
• Sailfish

Spring conditions in the Berry Islands often provide stable weather windows and consistent tournament fishing opportunities, making this series a strategic addition to a competitive billfish schedule.
