Emerald Isle Fall Fishing Tournament

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.

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