A BIG BANG IS COMING!




THE SPEAR WARS BIG BANG! OPEN

2018 SPEARFISHING TOURNAMENT

July 20-21 Hunt Days + July 22 Weigh-in

IS ACCEPTING REGISTRATIONS NOW




Two Days of Hunting (not just one!)
Hunt Friday July 20 + Saturday July 21 Weigh-in Sunday July 22

Amazing Prizes and Trophies!
Our prize wall is the best in the tournament universe

Super Aggregate Points Scoring!
Weigh up to 9 fish worth up to 20 points each (180 points maximum).


Here's some history. The Spear Wars Blue Storm Tournament Series started in 2008 with three events - the classic Spearboard Open (SBO), the Palm Beach Open (PBO) and the Key Largo Open (KLO). The Spearboard Open (”SBO”) was for many years one of the largest aggregate spearfishing tournaments in the world. The classic SBO rules were applied to the three Blue Storm tournaments around the state of Florida. For several years, the Riviera Beach Marina was our BBO location which is the excellent former Palm Beach Open venue

This year we are again combining the prize treasure chests of the traditional three tournament Blue Storm series into one massive event. But same as last year, for 2018 we have a new excellent venue. Once again, there will be no Captain’s Meeting for this year’s tournament. Hardly anyone showed up anyway at past BBO Captain's meetings which is fine for our format design.

The Tournament shooting will be held for two days starting Friday, July 20, 2018 and ending Saturday, July 21, 2018.

The Weigh-in, Meal and Awards Ceremony will be on Sunday, July 22, 2018 at the Moose Lodge at 3600 RCA Blvd. Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410 Phone (561) 626-4417. This place is located very near the PGA Blvd. Exit of I-95.

The google maps link is:

We rolled back the start and end times for the weigh-in by half an hour. The fish weigh-in new hours will be from 10:00AM to 12:00PM Noon Sunday, July 22, 2018.

Here are just three images from a past year's BBO in the new venue which was another tremendous success!











For 2018, We have kept the reduced registration price at $85 which includes the fabulous buffet food and drinks at the Awards Ceremony right after the Weigh-in.

In prior BBOs the cost of the T-shirts in all the sizes and colors required was killing us. So again this year instead of T-Shirts, we will include one Spearboard Sun Shade Cap plus a new bumper sticker. Supplies are limited.






Here is the 2018 Tournament Flyer:




Print out all the attached PDF forms below to send in your registration by fax to 561-455-9999 or by snail mail as indicated on the forms.

I vote to add kingfish to next years tournament! Feel better about killing a kingfish than a cuda.
