The 13th 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!
Register your boat at the Kingman Dockhouse before setting out to fish. Registration fee is $50 per boat to enter the tournament. Participants may register in advance at (508) 563-7136 X101 so they don’t have to set out from Kingman Yacht Center on 6/1.
All money collected from entrant boats 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 are urged to keep only those tournament fish that they will weigh in and take home.
Good luck and good fishing!
Nothing beats the taste of local fish, freshly caught and fried to perfection.
KYC will provide the fish and the chef. We’ll ask that you bring the side dishes to share. It will be a delicious evening of fun, food and friends!
Cruising is so much more fun as part of a group!
How about an early-season trip to beautiful Nantucket? We’ll leave on Friday 6/14 and return Sunday 6/16, taking advantage of the Yacht Basin’s preseason special rate of $1.95/ft. It’s a great time to visit Nantucket, and we’ll have a great time visiting together!
