Tangier Classic

Our tournament offers a unique format that other tournaments in the area don’t. Anglers will be able to fish anywhere in the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries in 3 divisions (powerboat, kayak, and kids). They will be able to fish two out of three days, selecting a lay day that best suits them. We will be judging fish by length instead of weight, allowing anglers to submit their catch by photo via email rather than having to physically check them in. This will allow us to provide real-time updates on standings, and gives anglers the option to release their fish if they choose. However, we will still have a judging table set up at the Legion for those who prefer to keep their fish and have them judged in person. Releasing fish is by no means mandatory, this is NOT a strict catch/release tournament. We have decided to go this route due to the recent concerns of the striped bass stock. We feel giving anglers this option will aid in doing our part for conservation, while still appealing to all anglers across the region. In addition, it also gives us the ability to include bull sized Red Drum which otherwise could not be included.
