The catch and release Striped Bass tournament, which also includes a mackerel division, registers only 100 anglers age 8-16. Participants are eligible to win trophies in positions 1-6 in three age group categories. The Tournament always sells out quickly, and a vessel is available for mackerel fishing for the first 35 sign-ups in that division.
Teaching kids to fish responsibly and to appreciate and understand the treasure of the Seacoast environment is at the root of Tournament day. Organized by Little Harbor Charitable Foundation (LHCF) the annual event has raised more than $2 million with proceeds benefitting organizations serving Seacoast kids and young adults.
