The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife is announcing the addition of a new category for high school age students in the popular Governor's Surf Fishing Tournament. The tournament, held each year on the third Sunday in May in Island Beach State Park will be held on May 21.
Students can enter the tournament as a team of two to five (2-5) students who are part of a formal fishing club, members of a Hooked on Fishing-Not on Drugs group, or a non-formal group. Schools can have more than one team entered. The tournament entry fee is waived for student teams, and admission to the park is free for registrants.
