    Sarasota Tarpon Tournament's 88th Year

    Coconut Telegraph

    SRQ DAILY

    SATURDAY APR 28, 2018 |

    For the past 88 years, anglers have competed in the Sarasota Tarpon Tournament; the oldest, continuous running, public tarpon tournament in Florida. It started in 1929 by the Sarasota Angler Club as an attempt to bolster the local economy. The tradition continues this May and June. Described as one of the most exciting fish to catch, tarpon are known for spectacular leaps and determined fights. More battles seem to be won by the tarpon rather than the angler, making the reward of catching one momentous! More than $60,000 has been raised in the past eight years for charity. This year, money raised will benefit the Coastal Conservation Association of Florida (CCA) and Suncoast Charities for Children.
