Event Description

A Fun-Filled Day of Fishing and Prizes!

The third annual Emerald Isle Fall Fishing Tournament offers a fun-filled day of fishing and prizes. There’s something for everyone with three separate divisions to choose from: King, Spanish Mackerel and Surf.

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.
