JUNE 10-13, 2010

   The annual South Jersey Shark Tournament is the first competitive big-game fishing opportunity of the season. Averaging 185 to 200 boats each year, this event is the premier Shark Tournament in the Mid-Atlantic region. With a cast of over 1,000 anglers participating annually, this exciting event takes place when the bite has been historically at its best in our productive waters off of Cape May. Our shark tournament is structured to provide participants with the best possible fishing hours, lucrative cash prizes and an equal chance for boats of all sizes to compete – all while setting an example of sportsmanship and sound conservation practices.

   The entry fee is $525 per boat which provides eligibility for tournament prizes and five tickets to all dockside dinners and festivities (additional tickets can be purchased at the Captains meeting). In 2008 we made some slight changes to our Calcutta options, so make sure to check those out in the Calcutta section of this brochure.

   Last year available prize money reached a record $336,005 and we’re anticipating topping the 300K mark again this year! If you enjoy competitive shark fishing, dockside parties and the camaraderie inherent in this sport, there is no better opportunity to enjoy yourself with family and friends than the South Jersey Shark Tournament. If you need transient dockage and want to be where the action is, be sure to make your reservations early to guarantee yourself a spot at South Jersey Marina or Canyon Club Resort.

   We expect a large turnout again this year, so make your reservations early to guarantee your spot.

   See you at the weigh station - Bob Glover, Tournament Director.
