Join us in building the excitement around this year's 9th Annual Charity Redfish Fishing Tournament. This event is Georgia's largest family friendly beach fishing tournament brought to you by Tybee Fishing Company & Bass Pro Shop, Benefiting The Ronald McDonald House Charities.

​

With over $30,000 in cash & prizes last year & a $10,000 check handed to the angler with the largest redfish, this is one fun day at the beach you do not want to miss! Last year's 1st place winner won $10,000 for a 41.5in redfish. Do you think you can beat that? This tournament is family friendly, with an adult & a youth division. There will be an incredible tournament raffle (such as a vacation package to Key West, Tybee Hotel stays, fishing charters & something BIG from our headline sponsor Bass Pro Shop) & tons of other fun activities on tournament day. Do you have what it takes to be crowned this year's Big Bully award winner?
