Friendly But Fierce
Compete, Learn, Take Home The Trophy.
Our monthly catch-photo tournaments run March through November: one Saturday, one species group, photo-verified scoring, and divisions for juniors, weekenders, and seasoned sticks. No live weigh-ins, no dead fish — measure, photograph, release, and upload.
Each August brings the Tidewater Summer Classic, a two-day team event with a dockside awards cookout. Winners take home tackle packages, free trip seats, and their names on the Harbor Lane trophy wall.
- Catch-photo-release format — every fish swims away, every score is honest
- Junior (under 16), Weekender, and Pro divisions in every event
- Loaner measuring boards and free pre-tournament rigging clinic
The Season
How The Circuit Works
Monthly Qualifiers
One Saturday a month, rotating species. Fish from your boat, ours, or the dock — same rules for all.
Summer Classic Finale
Two days, teams of three, combined length scoring, and the cookout of the year. Qualify or buy in.
Verified Fair Scoring
Phone-photo entries with code-word verification and a judges' review. Cheating gets a lifetime dock ban.
Prizes Worth Winning
Tackle packages, free trip seats, sponsor gear, and junior scholarships funded by entry fees.
Good To Know
Tournament Questions
No. Roughly half the field fishes from our guide boats or the dock. Book a competition seat and we pair you with a captain for the day.
Each event publishes a code word at the captain's meeting. Photograph your fish on the official board with the code visible, upload it, and the fish goes back in the water.
Kids under 16 fish free in the Junior division with a participating adult, and juniors have their own prize table. It is the best Saturday a young angler can have.
Monthly qualifiers are $40 per angler ($80 with a guide seat); the Summer Classic is $120 per three-person team. Entry fees fund the prize table.
