About This Event
Pleasure Island, made up of Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Fort Fisher, provides the perfect coastline for surf fishing and is home to the area's premiere land-based surf fishing tournament. Everyone is welcome to come and join this weekend of fall fishing for a chance to win over $30,000 in cash and prizes. Watch from the shore as fishermen reel in their biggest catch, confined to fishing from the shores of Pleasure Island, without the use of boats, sound or pier. Please check latest updates on social media.
