Expanded Tournament - Registration open May 1

Nine species are now included in this Tournament; bonito, false albacore, bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna and mahi in addition to fluke, black sea bass, bluefish and striped bass.

We have expanded the geographic area to include waters south of the Jamestown and Newport Bridges out to about fifteen miles off the coast of Block Island (see tournament map). This includes the southern coastal shores of  Westerly, South County, Newport to the Sakonnet River and much of the Cox Ledge area.
