The annual Surf Rats Ball catch-and-release striped bass tournament will run from June 1 through June 30, bringing together surfcasters from across the region for a month-long striped bass competition with a charitable cause. The tournament operates under a catch-and-release format, with proceeds benefiting the Kids Need More charity organization. Entry into the event requires a $35 membership through the Surf Rats Ball website. Organizers encourage anglers of all skill levels to participate throughout the month-long event, which has become a popular part of the Northeast surfcasting community. Additional rules, registration details and tournament information are available at Surf Rats Ball.
