Clearwater Flats Fishing Tournament
An annual fishing tournament and banquet to raise funds and promote awareness to protect the environment, and provide clean drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene across the globe.
We are committed to supporting activities that strengthen the conservation and protection of natural resources, advance ecological sustainability, and foster harmony between communities and the environment. We empower communities to access grants and other resources, embrace local solutions, and spur innovation in an effort to address the causes and reduce the effects of climate change and environmental degradation.
Our Causes
ENVIRONMENT Rotary shares an interest in protecting our common legacy: the environment.
WATER, SANITATION, HYGIENE Clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education are basic necessities for a healthy environment and a productive life.
Rules
2-day photo submission fishing tournament. The biggest (total length in inches) fish species above the
FWC size regulations win for all categories. I.e. If someone in the Onshore division catches a 33 inch
Red Drum (regulations are 18-27 inches) and someone from Offshore catches a 25-inch Black Grouper (regulations are over 24 inches), the person who caught the Red Drum would win because it is 6 inches longer than the regulation of 27 inches vs the Black Grouper which is only 1 inch over the size limit of 24
inches.
On June 1st at 6:00 am a digital chip will be emailed out to all the participants, they are required to either print it out (recommended) or display it on their phones next to the fish they are measuring for submission. The chip must be clear and in distinct view as well as the full measurement/ruler and fish when the photo is submitted. All fish photos must be submitted via text no later than 3:00 pm EST, June 2nd for judging. All entries after 3:00 pm EST will not be subject to be judged.
All participants are required to have a valid fishing license, follow all FWC, Coast Guard, and NOAA regulations, sign our waiver on the tournament website, and pay the entry fee.
All participants acknowledge they are fishing at their own risk.
