OUR TOURNAMENTS

Built for the Offshore Fishing Community.

Reel Coastal Events was created to bring anglers together through competitive, professionally run offshore fishing tournaments along the Southeast Coast.

Our tournaments are designed by people who understand tournament fishing. From flexible formats and exciting payouts to specialty divisions and Calcuttas, our goal is simple: create events that teams look forward to fishing year after year.

Whether you're chasing wahoo in the winter, competing for the biggest kingfish, or battling it out across multiple species, there's a Reel Coastal event for you.

The Bounty Challenge

Fill the Can. Claim the Bounty.

Possible Red Snapper Tournament As Well

A one-day, mixed-species offshore fishing tournament where strategy is everything.

Instead of chasing one specific species, teams can target any legal, in-season fish, excluding billfish, and bring their catch back to the official Bounty Can. Pack it however you want, make every pound count, and put together the heaviest legal catch you can.

The team with the heaviest combined eligible catch that fits inside the official 44-gallon Bounty Can claims the championship.

Tournament Highlights

  • $350 Main Tournament Entry
  • Main Purse Based on Boat Participation
  • Payout Through 6th Place Based on Boat Participation
  • Maximum 6 Registered Anglers Per Boat
  • Any Legal, In-Season Fish Eligible — Excluding Billfish
  • Official 44-Gallon Bounty Can
  • Heaviest Combined Weight Wins
  • Optional $100 Species Calcuttas
  • Potential Red Snapper Tournament & Separate Payout if Season Opens
  • No Boundaries or Lines In/Out

The Bounty Challenge gives teams the freedom to build their own game plan. Chase one species, load up on several, or completely change strategy throughout the day.

There is only one goal:

Fill the Can. Claim the Bounty.
