We are proud to present the 3rd Annual Gulf Coast Outboard Classic ("GCOC").  We've had a few good tournaments over the years, and hope to have the best outboard tournament on the Gulf of Mexico.  The GCOC is a regional tournament for outboard boats only.  There is no boat size limit… the only requirement is outboard propulsion.  This tournament is a new and highly anticipated concept for the Gulf Coast and will be held the weekend of June 24-25th, 2011 at the Mobile Big Game Fishing Clubhouse in the Orange Beach Marina facility.  The GCOC will be presented again by Jupiter Marine and brought to you in part by Orange Beach Marina, Bluewater Yacht Sales, J&M Tackle, Outcast Fishing and Hunting, Yellowfin Gallery, Mark's Outdoor Sports, Pensacola Fishing Forum, and Boosters, Inc.

For years, the outboard angler has wanted to fish on a level playing field in a billfish tournament and now, they will have the chance!  The GCOC is a release only billfish tournament and includes all the meat fish kill categories (Dolphin, Wahoo and Tuna) with cash prizes for only $1000 per boat entry and no limit on the amount of anglers!  An additional cash awards category will be available as well.  This tournament is a one-day shoot-out on June 25th with a foul weather date set for the Sunday, June 26th.
