More than 500 anglers and 200 boats will compete for over $100,000 cash and prizes in the NSB Striker Fish Tournament and Redfish/Trout Challenge, the largest inshore event in Florida. Offshore anglers compete for Wahoo, Dolphin & Kingfish in Ladies, Men and Junior divisions. The Inshore tournament also has Ladies, Men and Junior divisions competing for Redfish, Trout and most spots on a Redfish.
There will be educational workshops; the opportunity to shop for rods, reels, boats, motors and other items; and children will learn what’s under the water, how to tie knots and cast fishing rods. Enjoy food, drinks, music, fun and world-class angling with family and friends in one of the nation’s premiere saltwater locales.
