The story

Cayman Brac Jackpot Fishing Tournament in Cayman Brac

The Brac Jackpot is a jackpot-style fishing tournament held each May in the waters off Cayman Brac, targeting wahoo, tuna, mahi mahi and blue marlin, with historical prizes up to around $10,000 and a smaller, more regional character than the larger Cayman Islands International Fishing Tournament.

The Brac Jackpot ranks as the third most prominent fishing tournament on the Cayman Islands calendar, held each May in the waters off Cayman Brac and drawing anglers eager to target the Sister Islands' wahoo, tuna, mahi mahi and blue marlin.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Its distinguishing trait is scale and location: a dedicated Sister Islands sportfishing tournament run specifically in Cayman Brac waters rather than as an extension of Grand Cayman's much larger fishing competition, giving Brac's small fishing community its own competitive showcase

02

The mystery stays covered

Its jackpot-style single heaviest-fish payout format keeps the entry format simpler than the multi-category system used in the larger Grand Cayman tournament
