Skip Smith Tournaments Shootout
May 15, 2019 - May 18, 2019
From May 15 – 18, 2019 an exclusive fleet of custome and production sportfish will assemble at The Abaco Beach Resort & Boat Harbour Marina in Abaco, Bahamas for the legendary Skip Smith Shootout. Leg two of the Abaco Diamond Series is a regular who’s who of today’s billfish tournament circuit. Production boats challenge the custom boats in this all-release format to settle the age-old debate.
