Tournaments & Events
From Backwater to Bluewater, We’ve Got You Covered.
New Smyrna Beach, Port Orange, Edgewater, and Oak Hill are
home to several fishing tournaments held throughout the year. If you are looking for a good fishing spot to drop your line, in 2018, Volusia County sunk 2 ships to form artificial reefs that are now some of the best bottom fishing and diving spots around. The area produces sizable catches of triggerfish, snapper, grouper, and lobster.
Fishing tournaments offer more than just the opportunity to fish, but an opportunity for fun for the whole family. So, bring everyone along and participate in one (or more!) of the following:
The Big Game Tournament
Halifax Sport Fishing Club
IFA Redfish Tour
King of the Inlet
Queen of the Inlet
Lady Angler
