Summer Slam Billfish Release Tournament — Port A's Newest Showdown

Summer Slam Billfish Release Tournament — Port A's Newest Showdown

Deep-water thrills come to Port Aransas as anglers from across the coast gather for the inaugural Summer Slam Billfish Release Tournament. Over three days of serious offshore fishing, competitors chase billfish across the open Gulf — daily pots, overall billfish honors, and a coveted grand slam pot keeping the stakes high from the first cast to the last. It's the kind of tournament that turns a summer weekend into something you'll talk about long after the lines are pulled in.

Whether you're out on the water competing or watching the action unfold dockside, Beached Inn is right here when the day winds down — a cold rinse, a quiet porch, and the sound of the surf waiting to settle you back into the easy rhythm of the coast.
