    Crosthwait Memorial Fishing Tournament                Bradenton 2021

    [email protected]

    Celebrating our 37th year, we are proud to be the largest amateur fishing competition on the West Coast of Florida. Originating in 1983, the tournament serves a tribute to Colonel Sam Crosthwait, in recognition of his passion for his high moralistic ideals and love for the distinct camaraderie that surrounds the unique sport of angling. The event will take place May 14-16, 2021, at the Bradenton Yacht Club.

    Each year in May, hundreds of anglers and thousands of community spectators attend this cherished community event, which is run by a volunteer committee of more than 40 people.
    Professional Guides and amateur fisherman may participate! Winning anglers are awarded with trophies, cash, and prizes solely derived from their entry fees. Charitable funds directed back to the local community are derived from sponsors, advertisers, and gifts.
    Proudly, the Crosthwait has donated over $150,000 back to the community over the last 10 years. Whether through providing scholarships to support the education of local young anglers, supporting the Marine Mechanics Program at Manatee Technical College and the Fish and Game Association, the Crosthwait Committee is proud of our philanthropic mission and continued support of our local community.

    9th Annual Doc Ford's & "Ding" Darling Tarpon Tournament    Fort Myers Beach 2021

    For more tournament information please contact April Boehnen at 239-472-1100 ext. 256 or [email protected]

    The Tarpon Tournament Committee made the difficult decision to postpone the9th Annual "Ding" Darling & Doc Ford's Tarpon Tournament to May 2021.

    Due to the impacts of COVID-19, the infinite number of variables with an event this size, and the unforeseeable future in the short term, we felt this decision is necessary to prioritize the health and safety of our supporters, participants, staff, and volunteers. Thank you for your understanding.

    The Tournament Committee decided to roll the entry fees into this year's tournament, doubling the prize winnings for 2021. 2020 paid teams who remained registered for the tournament were guaranteed a spot and kept their starting position. They were only required to pay a fee of $500/team of four anglers for the 2021 tournament when registration opened on December 4, 2020.

    Participants who requested a refund lost their spot and starting position in the tournament. All new participants for 2021 are required to register for $1,000 for a team of four ($500 for 2020 and $500 for 2021).

    The Suncoast Tarpon Roundup is a ten week, 24/7 fishing tournament that promotes sportsmanship, research, and education.
    The goal of the Suncoast Tarpon Roundup is to encourage family and community involvement, enhance the awareness of tarpon fishing in the Tampa Bay area, and bring people from our community together. Our organization would like to provide a safe, educational, and entertaining forum for anglers of all ages and abilities to compete and enjoy tarpon fishing in the Tampa Bay area.
    We exist so anglers can enjoy themselves today, but more importantly, so that future anglers may be afforded the same opportunities we are privileged to enjoy. The Suncoast Tarpon Roundup recognizes that children are the future. We energetically promote the philosophy of “Take a Child Fishing” and understand the importance of coastal conservation.
    Join us in supporting the preservation of tarpon as we celebrate our 81st year, kicking off our all-release tournament in May 2015.

    ITINERARY

    FRIDAY:

    6:00 – 8:00 pm Captain's Meeting and Dinner

    SATURDAY

    7am Lines in the Water
    4pm Lines out of the Water
    5:30 pm Scorecard turn-in deadline

    6:30 pm Dinner and Awards Banquet

    RULES

    1. All scoring will be done on the Angler’s honor. Each angler will turn in a signed score card to a tournament official no later than 5:30 pm.
    2. Minimum Size. In order to be recorded as catches, certain species of fish must have a minimum length as outlined on the score card. Only five fish per species may be scored per angler.
    3. Point System. Points will be awarded at the point value given to each species as noted on the scorecard and will be multiplied depending on the method of catch: bait X 1, artificial X 1.5, and fly X 2. Anglers may try to increase their point totals by catching multiple fish of the same species using different tackle, but only five fish per species will count towards the total. A species bonus of 50 points will be added to the day’s total for each different qualifying species scored above two species. For instance, 3 species = 150 bonus points, 4 species = 200 bonus points, and so on.
    4. Tackle. In the artificial and fly fishing categories, baits should be “pure lures.”
    5. Eligible Specis: Trout, Redfish, Snook, Tarpon, Cobia, Grouper, Snapper

    FAQs

    Where is the captain’s meeting and awards ceremony banquet?

    Tarpon Lodge

    13771 Waterfront Drive

    Pineland, FL 33945

    www.tarponlodge.com

    (239) 283-3999

    May I bring guests to the captain’s meeting and award banquets who don’t plan on fishing?

    Yes, see the registration form for Non-fishing Guest ticket which will include the Captain’s Meeting dinner on Friday night and the Awards Banquet on Saturday. Only those paying the full registration fee will receive tournament shirts and be eligible for the raffle.

    Is there a secure place to keep my boat and trailer during the nights of the event?

    Yes, secure parking will be provided by Tarpon Lodge

    What is the closest boat ramp to Tarpon Lodge?

    Pineland Marine , http://www.pinelandmarina.com/

    Approximately 200 yards away.

    Who is eligible to fish this tournament?

    Owners of Maverick, Hewes, Pathfinder and Cobia boats and their guests.

    Does this tournament have a cash payout?

    No. Trophies will be awarded to the top lady angler, youth angler and overall top scorer. In addition, raffle tickets will be awarded to each angler in proportion to their overall score. (Higher score= more raffle tickets= greater chance to win to great raffle items.)

    If I’m from out of town, how will I know where to fish and at what time according to the tides?

    Local MBG Pro Staff members will be on hand at the captain’s meeting to discuss the where’s and how’s of fishing the area.

    I don’t typically fish tournaments. Why should I fish this one?

    We like to refer to these as Funamants. They are more about fun, family, good food and getting together with fellow MBG owners than competitive fishing. Every angler receives at least one raffle ticket and is eligible to win anything from Costa sunglasses to fishing tackle.

    As legend has it, The Poor Boys Tarpon Fly Tournament was started about 45 years ago by some of the most infamous fly fishing legends and you will probably meet them, they still fish. After the "big three" tarpon fly tournaments in May and June, the locals wanted a chance to compete. So they started the Poor Boys, to make the tournament accessible to anyone who wanted to prove their skill and competence. The tournament has kept in line with this over the years. We want everyone to have the chance to show their skills in the saltwater fly fishing community in Islamorada.
