THE VIRGINIA BEACH TUNA TOURNAMENT ANNOUNCED FOR 2005
The Inaugural Virginia Beach Tuna Tournament hosted by local radio stations
WNIS / WTAR / WPYA “BOB FM” / WROX “96X” and WZNR “The Zone @106.1 is scheduled to take place July 14th – 17th 2005 at Marina Shores in Lynnhaven.
The Virginia Beach Tuna Tournament will promote sport fishing in Virginia with the added support of all five Sinclair Communications Group stations. The tournament will benefit several local charities. The event will add a new dimension to offshore tournaments by providing entertainment throughout the tournament with live music, Texas Hold 'Em and other activities. “With the Va. Beach Billfish Tournament and the Mid-Atlantic Rockfish Shootout an instant success, the Va. Beach Tuna Tournament is a sure thing that will fill the third niche of our great fishery. By allowing teams to weigh in up to three fish it will be more challenging than the standard tuna tournament. I can’t wait to fish it!!” says Mike Standing, the director of the Mid-Atlantic Rockfish Shootout.
The tournament will have a 100% return of entry fees for cash awards. Winnings based on an aggregate weight format with boats weighing up to three fish. Boaters can choose to weigh their fish on one of two official scales, which will be located at Lynnhaven and Rudee Inlets.
