AustinBlu Family Fishing Tournament 2018

Calling all anglers!

Join the River Center and the AustinBlu Foundation for the first ever AustinBlu Fishing tournament on Saturday, May 5th. This family-friendly tournament aims to support the education and outreach efforts of the foundation, which is dedicated to teach people about the importance of safety on the water.

This unique tournament will showcase not just one competition, but two! Anglers will have the option to compete in our Release Competition and/or the Harvest Competition. In the Release Competition, anglers will receive points for the number/species of fish caught, photographed, and released. In the Harvest Competition, anglers will compete to catch the heaviest fish out of these 4 categories:

Snapper
Snook
Sheepshead
Crevalle Jack

Fishing will commence at 7:00 am and with lines out of the water at 3:00 p.m. Anglers will have until 4:00 pm to submit and weigh their catches. The tournament celebration will begin at 5:00 pm. Participants can enjoy food and beverages from local eateries Guanabanas and Holy Cow Grill as well as partake in our various family-friendly activities such as arts & crafts, a bounce house and a campfire which are free to enjoy during the event. Make sure to check out live music by Bryce Allyn Band

Winners will be announced at 7:oo p.m.
