About this event
The Navarre Fishing Rodeo is a beloved annual tournament that draws anglers from across the Gulf Coast for a weekend of competitive saltwater fishing out of Navarre Beach. With $35,000 in prizes on the line, this is one of the most rewarding fishing events on the Emerald Coast — and one that welcomes everyone from seasoned offshore anglers to kayak fishers and junior participants.
The action kicks off Friday, October 2 with a Captain's Meeting at Juana's Pagodas at 6 PM, where teams register, review rules, and soak up the pre-tournament atmosphere. Lines hit the water at 12:01 AM Saturday morning and fishing continues through 4 PM Sunday, with weigh-in taking place right on the beach at Juana's. Divisions include Open, Kayak, Junior, and Lionfish — the latter encouraging participants to help control the invasive species while competing for prizes.
Whether you're entering a boat or just coming to watch the weigh-in and cheer on the catches, the Navarre Fishing Rodeo is a fun-filled weekend that celebrates the fishing heritage of this laid-back beach town. Register through the Fishing Chaos app or website before spots fill up.
