Rules and Details
$50 for adults, $25 for junior anglers (12 years old or younger). ALL entry fee and raffle ticket money taken in will go directly to the REBLOOM Center here in St. Augustine, FL. For our last fundraiser we were able to generate almost $10,000 for the Matanzas Riverkeepers and hope to do the same, if not better for REBLOOM.
Captain’s Meeting: Friday April 10th, 2026, 5:00 – 7:00 pm at the Fishbites Trading Post.
Come join us! We’ll go over the rules, run a few raffles, and enjoy the great camaraderie that comes with the surf fishing community. You’ll also get a chance to meet our good friend Rick Genest who inspired this Pomp’n for Parkison’s fishing tournament. Rick has an incredible story from his time at the Pentagon on 9/11 that you won’t want to miss. He and so many of his brothers who were there that day, at the Pentagon and the Towers – are now dealing with this tough neurological disease. These issues have been overlooked for too long, so we’re shining a light on that side of things along with Parkinson’s in general. Our sponsors have really come through this year. We’ve got some awesome items lined up for the raffle and all cash payouts are covered. Can’t wait to see everyone there!
