Fishermen’s Conservation Association To Host 10th Annual Manhattan Cup in New York City

Tomorrow (May 16) the Fishermen’s Conservation Association (FCA) will celebrate its 10th Annual Manhattan Cup “catch and release" charity fishing tournament in New York City.

The Manhattan Cup has become the largest one-day in-shore tournament    in the Northeast. Approximately 50 professional fishing guides provide their boats and expertise to individual teams competing for the largest striped bass, bluefish and weakfish among three categories (fly, artificial and bait). Proceeds from the event will help the FCA in its efforts to protect local fisheries, ensure access to waterways and promote a sustainable habitat for important game species.  In particular, the main focus for the group is seeking game fish status for striped bass in New York State.

This is a great group of guides and anglers all competing for a good cause.  Hopefully the weather will hold off.
