Past Event

Western Outdoor News Offshore Jackpot

  • Thursday, June 29, 2017, midnight
  • H&M Landing, 2803 Emerson Street, San Diego
  • $275

Beginning in the 1930s, vessels have been fitted to take anglers out for deep sea fishing; tournament fishing grew in the post WWII days of relative leisure. The Bassmasters million dollar events gave rise to TV personalities that made a career out of tossing lures. They, like Bill Dance and Jimmy Houston, had their names stamped on products to the waiting angling masses. But for the average angler, tournaments were prohibitive in cost.

People found a way to compete. Longboarders and kayakers and float tubers have fishing tournaments. But what of those not water savvy enough to join them, and not wealthy enough to provide a stable offshore platform? That´s where the Western Outdoor News comes to the rescue. Their Offshore Jackpot enlists 17 sportfishing vessels carrying an average of 30 anglers each out for a full day of on-the-water competition..
