Jr. Angler Tournament

Dates: June 1 – July 14th

The Loxahatchee River District’s River Center, in partnership with Fishing Headquarters, is delighted to announce the 5th Annual Jr. Angler Fishing Tournament. Due to its high popularity last year with over 50 anglers, participation for this year’s tournament is expected to grow. Interested anglers should mark their calendars and set their reels for Saturday, June 2nd when the contest officially opens. Registration is open May 11^th and throughout the entire tournament.

Anglers will have until July 14, 2018 to accumulate points in this unique catch-and-release tournament. The contest is run over the course of several weeks instead of just a single day of competition so kids can enjoy fishing all summer! In addition, the contest awards points not only for the number of fish caught, but also for the number of different species represented in the submissions. The more fish you catch and the more species you catch, the better your chances are to win!
