The Stuart Sailfish Club has hosted the Annual Saltwater Sisters Lady Angler Tournament for more than 34 years. The event is described as more of a party with a fishing tournament on the side. Organizers host a Captain’s Party, a themed costume contest that includes boat decorating, and an amazing awards dinner. The 2019 tournament, will be held at Pirates Cove Resort, Sept 20th-21st, 2019.
The Tournament itself allows participants to fish for Sailfish, Dolphin, Kingfish, Wahoo, Grouper and Snapper. Famed marine artist Carey Chen has been the honorary chair of the event the past two years.
One of the biggest parts of this tournament is the unbelievable silent and live auctions with dozens of fishing and non-fishing related items up for bid.
The past four years, part of the proceeds have benefited local 501 c 3 charities, including Friends in Pink, a local organization that provides financial assistance for those on the Treasure Coast battling breast cancer; and Windsor Community Angels, an organization that pays for free mammograms for Treasure Coast residents.

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, Bonefish, Permit, Sailfish, Dolphin, Wahoo
FAQs
Where is the captain’s meeting and awards ceremony banquet?
Both the Captain's Meeting and Banquet will be at the Breezy Palms Resort:
Mile Marker 80, Oceanside Islamorada, Florida Keys 33036
Captain's Meeting will begin Thursday at 6 PM and will feature hors d'oeuvres. The Banquet will begin Saturday at 6:15PM and will feature dinner, drinks and the raffle!
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.
Who is eligible to fish this tournament?
Owners of Maverick, Hewes, Pathfinder and Cobia boats and their guests.
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.

10th Annual Flounder Pounder Fishing Tournament Jacksonville Beach 2019
This year marks the 10th Annual Flounder Pounder Fishing Tournament and we couldn’t be more excited!
Mark your Calendars for October 26, 2019!
The Annual Flounder Pounder Fishing Tournament began in 2010, spearheaded by parents Chip and Teresa Davis. When their son Tyler was diagnosed with autism, they wanted to create an event that gave back to the cause.
With Tyler enrolled at JSA and Chip, being the avid fisherman that he is, immediately thought of hosting a fishing tournament to raise money for the school. From the very beginning, the Davis family devoted countless hours of time and energy to raising Autism Awareness, while creating a grassroots effort among family and friends to create this annual charity event.
To date, Flounder Pounder has raised over $250,000 in the past 9 years and is voted the best tournament in the 904!
Flounder Pounder Tournament information at FlounderPounderJax.com.
Online Registration available at JSAKids.org.

The Matlacha Hookers are proud to host the 21st Annual Pine Island Fishing Tournament & Derby at the Olde Fish House in Matlacha on Sunday, November 3, 2019.
We are now celebrating 21 years in existence; In 1998 twenty-one women came together with the unified goal to “Make a Positive Difference in Our Community”. Currently almost 300 active members are striving to achieve this goal by exceeding last year’s effort to benefit the students and teachers at Pine Island Elementary.
Over the past nine years, $185,000.00 in donated monies has allowed the school to provide an after school tutoring program, stock their library with over 5,000 books, schedule educational field trips and provide supplemental educational materials, along with scholarships for higher learning to many graduated seniors and G.E.D. students. The principal; Steven Hook, stated that the Matlacha Hookers have made a huge impact on the students and have been a major factor in Pine Island Elementary consistently receiving an “A” rating for the past 18 years.
During our event we have two types of fishing. The Derby is for the children who fish by land with help from parents and volunteers. Each child is provided with a brand new rod and reel and all the bait they need to catch “the big one”. The rod and reels are theirs to keep. We have seen kids hook into all types of fish over the years from puffer fish to grouper. Trophies are given to the place winners of each division. The adult angler’s CPR tournament begins at 7am with final fish entries in at 3pm. The adults are fishing for cash prizes awarded to the longest combined length of snook, redfish and trout and longest of each for a slam.
Applications & Event Registration can be found online at www.Eventful.com or www.eventbrite.com – key word Pine Island Elementary and on Facebook event page – 21st Annual Pine Island Elementary Fishing Tournament & Derby or by simply going to our website at www.matlachahookers.org
For further information or questions please call Kate Swanstrom 303-550-4459, Sandy Kerr 305-849-1539 or Julia Simpson 239-298-1113; [email protected]
If you are interested in donating an item for one of our auctions or to sponsor a child to fish in the event, please check out our website at www.matlachahookers.org .
All of this wouldn’t be possible without the help of everyone in our community; residents, businesses, anglers and patrons of this annual event. We thank you in advance for your generosity and look forward to seeing you there.
