Pomp'n for Parkinsons (run by Fishbites) Sign up link https://fishbites.profishingtournaments.com/tournament.php?id=71 We'll meet this time at Huguenot Park which allows members to drive onto the beach but also shortens our drive to weigh in (approximately 70 minutes). We'll plan on fishing "first light" approximately 7am until about 2pm to give plenty of time to arrive in Saint Augustine for weigh in. Huguenot is very much a low tide beach and with low tide being at 10am that morning we should have an excellent 4 hours stretch between 8-12 to really get on some good fish. As always members can direct questions to Sean Persons at 978-335-9705 . This should be a lot of fun (especially if we can get someone in the top 3!!) Directions to Huguenot Park : Click Here $50 for adults, $25 for junior anglers (12 years old or younger). ALL entry fee and raffle ticket money taken in will go directly to the REBLOOM Center in St. Augustine, FL. For their last fundraiser they were able to generate almost $10,000 for the Matanzas Riverkeepers and hope to do the same, if not better for REBLOOM. Captain’s Meeting: Friday April 10th, 2026, 5:00 – 7:00 pm at the Fishbites Trading Post. Come join us! We’ll go over the rules, run a few raffles, and enjoy the great camaraderie that comes with the surf fishing community. You’ll also get a chance to meet our good friend Rick Genest who inspired this Pomp’n for Parkison’s fishing tournament. Rick has an incredible story from his time at the Pentagon on 9/11 that you won’t want to miss. He and so many of his brothers who were there that day, at the Pentagon and the Towers – are now dealing with this tough neurological disease. These issues have been overlooked for too long, so we’re shining a light on that side of things along with Parkinson’s in general. Our sponsors have really come through this year. We’ve got some awesome items lined up for the raffle and all cash payouts are covered. Can’t wait to see everyone there! Tournament Day: Fishing will begin first light on 4/11/2026. Weigh in will be held from 2:00-4:00 at the Fishbites Trading Post in St. Augustine. Prize Structure: Angler's will weigh a 3 fish aggregate of their biggest Pompano and/or Whiting.
