Cast on the Coast Fishing Tournament at Crooked River State Park

Crooked River State Park  |  Saturday, Nov. 14  |  6 AM-5 PM  |  Entry Fee Required

Cast a line for a good cause at the 4th Annual Cast on the Coast Fishing Tournament, hosted by the Friends of Crooked River State Park on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at Crooked River State Park.

Anglers will compete for prizes in six species categories: redfish, spotted seatrout, black drum, flounder, sheepshead, and whiting. The top three catches in each category will earn $300 for first place, $150 for second place, and $75 for third place.

The general entry fee is $50 per angler. New this year are live-fish aggregate categories for redfish and spotted seatrout. Boats may enter a three-redfish or three-trout aggregate category for $100 per boat, per category, with a 100% payout to the first-place winner in each. Fish entered in these categories must be alive and meet the tournament’s specified size requirements.

Registration and rule packets are available at the Crooked River State Park Visitor Center and North Star Bait and Tackle. Proceeds from the tournament support the community and improvements at Crooked River State Park.
