Can you feel the excitement in the air? I am thrilled to be taking on my new role as President and growing the BBC and I can't wait to have you all there with me!

As we look ahead to the 2014 BBC series, I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. What do you want to see in a new and improved BBC? What do you want to see added, or taken away from, the current BBC structure? I am also looking closely at what we give you as angler and crew gifts. What would you like to receive? This is your chance for input - it is your tournament series.  Please send me an email and let me know.

We have a great schedule lined up beginning May 7th in Guana Cay. Once again Orchid Bay Marina will host the first leg with their amazing hospitality. Don't forget, we're planning to have at least one event at Nipper's which is always fun!

We then move to Green Turtle Cay for leg two. The channel has been dredged and they are excited to welcome us to the island. Both Bluff House and Green Turtle Club have beautiful venues.

From Green Turtle we return to Treasure Cay Resort & Marina. Records are set here and the fishing is always great! Will we see a new record in 2014? Finally, we will conclude the 2014 series at Abaco Beach Resort and Marina. Their beautiful tournament pavilion is the perfect setting for our Championship awards.

We have returned to a three-day fishing format to accommodate busy schedules. Registration is Wednesday with fishing days Thursday, Friday and Saturday. 

As I mentioned, I am really looking forward to taking things to the next level, so you really don't want to miss all of this and much more! Don't forget to take advantage of the Early Bird discount if you register by December 31st.  Enter all four tournaments and save 10%. Enter 1, 2 or 3 tournaments and save 5%.

You have many choices when it comes to choosing which tournaments to fish.  I plan on making the BBC a series you want to fish year after year!

I look forward to hearing from you and having you as an angler, guest or sponsor in the 'New for 2014' Bahamas Billfish Championship!
