The Fishing Tournament is designed for anyone that wants to spend a day on the water fishing with an opportunity to win CASH. You can fish from land, a dock, a boat or a kayak, its up to you.

“Part of the Old Salt mission statement is to support family interaction and camaraderie through fishing and this tournament fits that statement perfectly,” said President of the Old Salt, Tom Verdensky. “This is an event like none other. The fishing tournament is free and will pay out $20,000 in cash. There will also be prizes for our youth & ladies divisions with 18 different species to fish for, which is over 90 different ways to win!” Making this the perfect event for any saltwater enthusiast! says Verdensky.
