The California Billfish Series (CBS) was created by Offshore Tournaments, a corporation formed to produce and manage sportfishing events. Backed by a staff with over fifty years of combined experience in the fishing and tournament industry, our keystone is integrity and our reputation reflects the quality of our events.
The CBS includes the Contender Avalon Billfish Classic ProAm, the Riviera Zane Grey Invitational and the Mikelson Yachts Catalina Classic — the largest and most prestigious billfishing tournaments in the western U.S.

Each event has its own personality and tournament format and all of our events maintain the highest levels of quality and professionalism.
The CBS is also a part of the Bisbee's Bluewater CUP Series, a made-for-TV, team oriented series that runs from July-October and culminates with a Championship tournament in December.
The CBS promotes conservation by featuring high minimum weight requirements and valuable release division awards. The Avalon Billfish Classic ProAm was the first "all-release, circle hook only" tournament on the West Coast.
A portion of the proceeds from each of the CBS events are donated to local & children's charities and selected fishing conservation programs. |
