The 12th Annual “Get Out On Your Boat and Fish for Fun, Prizes and Bragging Rights” Tournament – right in the heart of the best black sea bass fishery in the world! This year, we’re teaming up with Habitat for Humanity to help build affordable housing on Cape Cod.
Register your boat at the Kingman Dockhouse before setting out to fish. Registration fee is $50 per boat to enter the tournament., and an optional $50 per boat to register for Habitat’s “Hook for Homes Derby.” Participants may register in advance at (508) 563-7136 X101 so they don’t have to set out from Kingman Yacht Center on 6/2. Derby packages will be available to all boats at the weigh in so they can keep the fun going for the rest of the month.
$10 from every boat registered in the tournament will be donated to Habitat Cape Cod. The remaining $40 per boat will be presented as prizes to winners in each of 2 categories: the largest striped bass and the largest string of 3 black sea bass. Prize purse will be based upon number of boats participating in the tournament.
There are no boundaries for the fishing area but all boats MUST be in the weigh-in area at the Fuel Dock at Kingman Yacht Center by 3:00PM sharp. Contestants will be urged to keep only those tournament fish that they will weigh in and take home. The continuing Derby is catch and release.
Good luck and good fishing!
A favorite in the finest bars and watering holes everywhere – Team Trivia comes to KYC! Bring your own team, bring your “A” games, BYOB.
Representatives from the USCG Auxiliary will be on hand to provide free, voluntary vessel safety checks. Make sure that your boat has all required equipment on board – for the safety of you and your crew, and to be compliant with Federal and State laws.
Boats that pass inspection will be given a Vessel Safety Check sticker that tells authorities you recently complied with all regulations.
Sign up at the table in the main parking area on Saturday morning.
