ANNUAL RED SNAPPER TOURNAMENT
Plan now to participate in the 7th annual HHM “Show Us Your Sow” Red Snapper Tournament. The dates of the tournament will coincide with the red snapper season set for Florida, which are expected to be announced by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission in the near future.
The tournament is open to any recreational fishing boat which has all required registrations and fishing licenses. In addition to a general category for all participants, there are special categories for active account holders of Holiday Harbor Marina and for SeaTow members.
Registration will begin after dates for the red snapper season are announced. Registration will be $50 per boat, which includes a tournament t-shirt and other gimme items. For the general category, the top three single red snappers weighing the most caught during the period will split all registration fees 50%, 30% and 20% (with a minimum payout of $1,000), and receive other substantial prizes provided by the marina. The winner of the Wildcard Weight will receive a Sunset Grille gift certificate and other prizes. Participants who are active account holders of Holiday Harbor Marina and/or are Seatow members will be eligible for additional prizes.
See tournament “Rules and Regulations” for complete information.
As it becomes available, new information concerning the tournament will be posted on our website banner and provided in the May Newsletter.
