How It Works
1. Book Your Charter- Choose a participating charter captain and book your trip directly with them during the official Fishing Rodeo period.
2. Catch an Eligible Fish- Fish for Redfish, Snook or Sheepshead within the official Rodeo boundaries.
3. Measure and Photograph Your Catch- Your captain will measure and photograph the fish according to the official program guidelines.
4. Submit Your Catch- Your captain will submit the catch through the official Fishing Rodeo form. The longest verified fish in each eligible category will be named the winner.
There is no additional cost to participate in the Rodeo. Regular charter rates, taxes, fees and gratuities still apply.
