Presented by: Regulator Marine
We are excited to bring back the STATEWIDE “Inshore Open” fishing tournament for yet another year! Help us make the 6th annual the best one yet. We have added some new divisions to the tournament this year! For all those Kayak anglers out there, now you can compete on your own completely separate from the boat anglers!
100% Catch and Release Tournament!
The iAngler Tournament app allows your phone to replace the weigh station and gives your catch an opportunity to live for another day so that we can do our part to “Let ‘Em Spawn!”
Each time you catch one of the valid tournament species’, you can take a photo of your catch with the wrist band, submit the photo to our judges for scoring, and track live leaderboard updates all within the iAnger app!
