King Mackerel Tournament

August 15-17th 2025

Welcome to the Sneads Ferry King Mackerel Tournament…we are now entering our 34th year!

This event is made possible by the hard work of our Rotary Club members and the generous support of our sponsors. Your participation helps us give back through scholarships, community aid, and service projects year-round. We’re proud to combine fishing, fun, and service—so we’ll see you at the Captain’s Dinner and on the water!

Captain’s Choice

A letter to all our Anglers

Events like ours thrive thanks to the dedication and hard work of our club members who consistently step up and contribute selflessly. I’m deeply grateful to belong to a club where members give so generously of their time and effort.
 
We’re also fortunate to have generous sponsors who help bring the tournament to life. Their contributions make a real, tangible impact. Thanks to this strong support, we’re able to give back to the community by awarding youth scholarships, providing aid to individuals, families, and organizations, and carrying out a wide range of service projects throughout the year.
 
Rotary is a global network with over 35,000 clubs worldwide, uniting Rotarians in collective efforts to make a difference everywhere. We believe in shared responsibility and taking action to promote peace, combat disease, provide clean water and sanitation, support education, and foster local economies.
 
The mission of Rotary is to serve, uphold integrity, and advance understanding, goodwill, and peace worldwide. And of course, we also find time to enjoy ourselves. Join us for lunch at Madison’s every Wednesday at noon – it’s a great way to connect and contribute to our community.
 
Looking forward to seeing you at the upcoming Captain’s Dinner and Tournament! Let’s come together for a fantastic fishing experience!
