TogTober 2024 is HERE!

We are having our 11th Annual TogTober, a 4-day tournament that will commence on October 17th, and run until October 20th at 3 PM. The two heaviest blackfish overall will win a cash prize while the third heaviest fish overall will win a rod and reel combo! Also, the heaviest fish PER DAY will win $150!

We will also be hosting several calcuttas for Blackfish, Seabass, Porgies, and Albies! Each calcutta winner will be the angler with the heaviest fish FOR THAT CALCUTTA. Additionally, if the angler is in BOTH the Blackfish calcutta and the main tournament, their fish will be eligible for both prizes. The calcutta winner will take home a cash prize based on the number of sign-ups for that calcutta.

This is a 4 day open tournament with a $50 entry fee per angler (before taxes/fees). Each calcutta costs an additional $20 (before taxes/fees). The first 50 sign-ups will receive a BHO captain's bag full of awesome gifts courtesy of our amazing sponsors! Following the conclusion of the tournament at 3:00 PM on Sunday, we will be having a afterparty and raffle.
