Event Description

A Fun-Filled Day of Fishing and Prizes!

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a young novice, the annual Emerald Isle Fall Fishing Tournament offers a fun-filled day of fishing and your chance to win. There’s something for everyone with a boat and surf fishing division.

A prize will also be offered to a Junior Angler (15 and under) to fish for prizes. There is no entry fee, but they do need to be registered.

Fishing tournament proceeds from the live and silent auctions benefit local area students and the dredging of Bogue Inlet.
