On Father’s Day Weekend, June 13 – 15, 2014, Wildwood NJ will host The Wildwoods
Beach N Boat Fishing Challenge. It will take place on the beaches, bays and ocean
of Wildwood Crest, City of Wildwood and North Wildwood. It’s FREE; you can have a ball
and win your share of $8,000.00 cash and prizes. And, it’s not just for fishermen, anyone
can join in the fun.
The Wildwoods Beach N Boat Fishing Challenge is a segment of the much larger,
highly visible Jersey Shore Beach N Boat Fishing Tournament that has over 4,500 registered
anglers. The three-day format welcomes participants to fish for an hour, a day or all 44
hours of the tournament. Plans include tons of fun and events for the entire family. To take
full advantage of the numerous activities, participants should plan to stay in The Wildwoods
for a couple of nights.
Fishermen, fisherwomen and fisherkids can fish anywhere in saltwater, in and around
The Wildwoods, for Striped Bass, Fluke, Weakfish, Black Drum, Bluefish, Kingfish, Tautog
and Sea Bass. Eight $1,000.00 cash prizes will be awarded for the largest qualifying catch
in each species caught during the three days. In addition, weigh-ins from this event will
count toward the main tournament.
“Base Camp” in front of The Wildwoods Convention Center will serve as mission control
and event central. The Fishing Expo featuring the latest boats, newest gear and local
vendors will be showcased all three days. This is also where anglers will check-in, weigh
fish and enjoy plenty of excitement with music, lighting, sponsors products on display,
drawings and giveaways. Don’t miss the Family Fish Festival on Saturday from 12:00
Noon – 5:00 PM. Kids and “big kids” can have fun learning to tie knots, race crabs, try
their hand at casting, win prizes and see big fish weighed in.
Guests will take advantage of the many great assets that The
Wildwoods have to offer including hotels, charter boats, party
boats, kayak rental, local tackle shops, restaurants and other
businesses. A brochure / treasure map of the hottest fishing
spots, schedule, rules, sponsors and local businesses will be
provided.
