The tournament opens at 12:01 AM on May 22, 2026, and ends at 5:30 PM on July 31, 2026. These dates are subject to change if the state closes the season early.

This is an open tournament with special categories for active Holiday Harbor Marina account holders and Sea Tow members. Tournament participants are registered by boat, not by individual angler. Boats used for charter during 2026 or run by a captain for hire are not eligible to participate.

Registration Information

Registration is $50 per boat and must be completed before the start of the tournament or at least 48 hours before the entrant’s first weigh-in.

Registration forms may be brought to the Holiday Harbor Marina front office or emailed to:

office@myholidayharbor.com

After emailing the registration form, entrants must call Holiday Harbor Marina at 850-492-0555 to confirm receipt and provide payment over the phone. Failure to confirm receipt of the emailed entry will result in non-entry. Cash payments must be made in person at the marina.

Registration will remain open through July 28, 2026, but any registrations received after the tournament begins cannot weigh a fish until 48 hours after registration. Registration closes at the end of business on July 28.

Tournament Package

A tournament package for registered participants will be available for pick up at the marina office beginning May 22, 2026.

The package will include:

A copy of the tournament rules and regulations
A boat registration placard required for weigh-ins
A tournament T-shirt
Additional goodies provided in a 5-gallon bucket from Ace Hardware

Weigh-In Rules

All fish entered must be caught during the tournament period and weighed the same day they are caught. Fish must be brought to the weigh station by the registered boat and accompanied by the tournament placard provided in the tournament package.

The weigh station is located near the south fuel dock at Holiday Harbor Marina. The IGFA-certified weigh scale will open daily one hour after the marina opens and close daily 30 minutes before the marina closes.

To support red snapper conservation, each registered boat is limited to weighing one red snapper per day.
