The Third Annual Northeast Bluefin Showdown presented by Raymarine will again be held in Newburyport,
with the location of the Captain’s Meeting and Awards Dinner at the newly
renovated Elks Hall @ 25 Low St, Newburyport. This year, our tournament will
feature three fishing days and three weigh-in locations. The main weigh-in
location will be in Newburyport at the Commercial Pier, with additional weigh-in
locations in Portland, Maine, and Marshfield, Massachusetts. If the recent NOAA
rulings apply to this year, participants will be able to fish three consecutive days
with a three-bag limit per day. Once a final determination is posted by NOAA, we
will provide further guidance. The inclusion of two additional weigh-in locations
will enable more vessels to participate without the need to travel long distances.
It will also broaden the competition from Portland, Maine to Cape Cod.
Newburyport will serve as the hub for our tournament, offering weigh-in facilities,
a leaderboard with real-time updates from all locations, and more. Vessels can
weigh in at any of the three locations, regardless of their homeport.
