With an increase in the prize money pool to $60,000 plus custom trophies, prizes and calcuttas, this is the one shark tournament you won’t want to miss. Last year, over $438,000 was paid out; the big winners were the crew of Capt. Ed Poller’s “Pea Pod,” whose 154 lb. Mako netted the crew just shy of $300,000! So mark your calendars for the 26th Annual Star Island Yacht Club Shark Tournament to be held from June 14-16, 2012. The captain’s meeting will be held on Thursday, June 14th, with fishing Friday and Saturday, June 15th and 16th. The awards ceremony and dinner will follow fishing on Saturday night, accompanied by live music and dancing under the stars!!
For those anglers who wish to get in on the action and don’t own a boat, The Star Island Yacht Club charter fishing fleet is home to Montauk’s finest and most knowledgeable charter captains. Their boats can accommodate up to 6 anglers and are available for ONE or BOTH days of the tournament!!
In addition to this outstanding competition, all sportsmen can contribute to the studies of the shark by tagging and releasing sharks that don’t meet strict weight requirements. Last year, over 300 sharks were released back to the ocean. Of the sharks that were weighed in, over 750 pounds of edible shark meat was donated to the Long Island Council of Churches’ food pantry to help feed those in need!
