Be sure to celebrate the Thanksgiving weekend in the Central Jersey surf with the 10th Annual Surf Turkey Tournament from November 24-27. Presented by Charlie’s Bait and Tackle in in Normandy Beach, this year’s tournament is catch and release, and the cash prizes are for first and second longest striped bass and a five fish stringer.
Presented by Charlie’s Bait and Tackle in Normandy Beach, the tournament will kick off at 5 a.m. on the Wednesday prior to Thanksgiving and runs through Saturday, November 27 at 5 p.m. “This year our famous awards dinner is back on Saturday at 6 p.m.,” said Pete Kupper from Charlie’s, adding “unfortunately with going to a catch and release format we must sell tickets to help cover the cost of the food, this year we will be offering a chef prepared buffet.”
The fishing boundaries are from the south jetty of the Manasquan Inlet to the north jetty of Barnegat Inlet. Tournament entry fee is $40, and awards dinner tickets are $15 per person limit (two tickets per entry of the tournament.)
