The tournament will kick off with a captain’s party on Oct. 18 at 6 p.m. at the marina.
On Oct. 19, anglers will hit the water at 7 a.m. for a day of fishing, which will conclude at the marina with a dinner and awards celebration at 4 p.m. There will be an auction, prize giveaways and raffle drawings.
