Test your fishing prowess at the Inshore Offshore Wars, a high-stakes competition where anglers battle to crown a new era of grand champions. The 2026 tournament kicks off with a mandatory Captain’s Meeting on Friday, June 5, at Shea’s Lansdowne Street in Naples, Florida, followed by the main event on Saturday, June 6. This unique picture tournament challenges inshore teams to land a Snook, Redfish, and Trout, while offshore teams target Red Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, and Yellowtail Snapper.
With five boat ramp locations spanning from Everglades City to Estero, teams must check in early and submit their scored photos by 6:00 p.m. on tournament day. The weekend culminates in a lively Award Ceremony featuring food, raffles, and the crowning of the Inshore and Offshore Champions, with proceeds benefiting the Celtic Wrestling Club.
