On July 13th and 14th, all the action will be on Singer Island as it hosts the Sailfish Marina Big Dog & Fat Cat KDW Shootout. This tournament continues to grow every year, with over 250 boats expected to compete for an estimated $50,000 in cash and prizes. The Grand Prize winner is guaranteed $12,500 in cash and prizes ($5,000 in cash, $7,000 in Simrad Electronics and 2 Cannon Downriggers, while the aggregate winner will earn $2,500 in cash and $2,500 certificate for a Loadmaster Trailer. Anglers can save $100 by registering by June
25th.
The tournament is the 1st leg of the âBeast of the East,â and a SKA (Southern Kingfish Association) series event. We had 14 Dogs adopted at the event last year and raised over $21,000 dollars for the charities. Please come out even if you canât fish and support the cause. There is a huge raffle and silent auction. The charities benefiting from this great event are A Second Chance Puppies & Kittens Rescue & Marine Industry Education Foundation. A Second Chance Rescue is an all-volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that has rescued thousands of animals. They rely solely on donations.
