With the waters of Long Island Sound being a bit warmer than normal and with super abundant black sea bass and jumbo scup available, it’s a great time to have a scup and sea bass shoot-out It’s only $10 per angler and will support RFA-CT Chapter Activities.
The tournament runs from October 10th through November 1st and all waters of Long Island Sound and Fishers Island Sound are open. The entry fee is just $10 per angler and sign-ups can be made at the following tackle shops:
- Branford Bait & Tackle, Branford, CT
- Tidewater Bait and Tackle, Westbrook, CT
- Hillyers Tackle Shop, Waterford, CT
The tournament format is simple: catch the biggest scup or sea bass and win the pool. The $10 entry fee is divided between the scup and sea bass divisions and a prize will be paid out for each species. RFA takes $2 per entry to fund specific RFA-CT activities. $4 per each entry goes into the scup and sea bass pools. The more anglers in the tournament, the more you can win! Anglers must be registered before any fish are weighed-in.
