61st Annual Destin Fishing Rodeo
Plans are being finalized now for the October 1st start of the 61st annual Destin Fishing Rodeo. The Rodeo will have it’s signature T-shirts and hats available over the Labor Day weekend at Half Hitch Tackle in Destin, and it’s not too late to register. The Rodeo is open to both private and charter boats up until the day before they weigh in a fish.
Included in this year’s Rodeo is “Shark Saturdays”. Every Saturday during the Rodeo, the largest shark over 100lbs weighed in at AJ’s wins $250. “Shark Saturdays” is an open event with no special entry fee, but there is a limit of 1 per boat per day. Anglers will be fishing for mako, hammerhead, tiger and bull sharks. If you haven’t been at the docks when one of these impressive sharks are being weighed in, you won’t want to miss it this year!
