2011 Winner – Tom LaTorre with Capt. Ralph Roth – 40.75 lbs.
The Manhattan Cup has become the largest one-day in-shore fishing tournament in the Northeast. Approximately 50 professional fishing guides provide their boats and expertise to individual teams competing for the largest striped bass and bluefish among three categories (fly, artificial and bait).
This year will also mark the third year in a row that the tournament will feature a “Live Release Division,” demonstrating that Striped Bass can be weighed in and released alive to fight and spawn again.
All boats will leave Chelsea Piers at 9:00 am and return at 4:00 pm for the annual FCA Manhattan Cup awards ceremony at the Chelsea Brewing Company located at Pier 59 on the Hudson River.
Please contact us to enter the Manhattan Cup and book an available guide or download either a Captains Registration Form or an Anglers Registration Form for the FCA Manhattan Cup. Please provide all necessary information, including your email address so that we can send you a confirmation when we receive your payment.
