This Tournament is designed by a Fisherman for the Fishermen/women involving trolling and/or chunking. A flexible format will allow boats to leave any inlet between & including Shark River Inlet south to Cape May Inlet. Fishing will be Captain’s Choice of one of five nights after the commencement of the Captain’s Meeting.
- Special Note: This is an overnight tournament where each boat has the option of picking their (1) fishing day/night out of (5) available days. As a unique feature of this event a boat may fish a second day of the tournament if they pay a second basic entry fee and any added skill level entries for that day if they choose. This decision must be made prior to the captain’s meeting and all fees paid at that time. Each basic entry fee will be assigned a boat number. The entry fee and added skill level entries are only good for one day of fishing, if you choose to fish a second day it will be considered a second basic entry with the same boat name but a new boat number for that day. All entry fees and added skill level entries will be winner take all regardless of the number of days you enter to fish.
Boats may leave anytime after 5am, fishing from 8:00am until 10:00am the following morning. The weigh stations will be held at Farley State Marina in Atlantic City, N.J. and Hoffman’s Marina in Brielle N.J. The scales will be open at Noon each day. The boundaries for the tournament will be 125 n miles from the Absecon Sea Buoy Cash prizes will be awarded for the following species: Big Eye, Yellowfin, Bluefin, Long Fin, Swordfish, Mako, Wahoo, Dolphin & Tilefish.
