The 92nd Annual Sarasota Tarpon Tournament is on the way
92nd Annual Sarasota Tarpon Tournament
Dates: May 7th – June 12th 2022
Last year’s Tarpon Tournament proved just how resilient this 92 year old organization could be, and this year we’re ready to go.
The 92nd Annual Tournament is scheduled to begin on Saturday, May 7th, and continue through Sunday, June 12th. The Kick-Off Event this year will be held at Joyland, 8341 Lockwood Ridge Road in Sarasota on Wednesday night, May 4th, at 6 PM, dinner is included with your Entry Fee, and a cash bar will be available. Registration and Check-In begins at 6 PM.
Online Registration will begin shortly and SPONSORSHIPS are available. It is the generosity of our amazing sponsors that have kept this legendary tournament running for 92 years. As you know, we have a fantastic group of anglers and many more watching online and throughout the community. Please contact us if you would like to talk to a sponsorship representative.
We couldn’t be more excited about this year’s tournament. The Tarpon Tournament has been an annual event here in Sarasota since 1930. This year’s 2022 Edition marks the tournament’s 92nd year of sanctioned competition. Not only is this historic Tarpon Tournament an opportunity to participate in world-class fishing, it also supports the local community.
To do that, the Tournament partners with a selected non-profit organization annually and donates a portion of the proceeds to that charitable organization.
For a Entry Fee of just $150, anglers not only compete for an overall winner tile, but also, weekly, junior, ladies, fly, most releases and His & Her Divisions winner.
Weekly winners and winners of the fly division and most releases will all compete in a 2-day Fish-Off weekend to determine overall winner whose name is inscribed on the historic trophy.
If you’re looking to make new friends, have some fun and test your angling skills, come fish with us and yours could be the next name on that trophy.
Tarpon are world-class game fish and are easy to access directly off Sarasota’s beautiful beaches. Described as one of the most exciting fish to catch, tarpon are known for spectacular leaps and determined fights — as a matter of fact, more battles seem to be won by the tarpon rather than the angler, making the reward of catching one momentous!
Entering the “World’s Oldest Tarpon Tournament” makes this ‘game’ even more exciting because anglers not only have the chance to compete against the Silver King, but also, their fellow anglers.
