The Poor Girls Open is a ladies only billfish release tournament
benefiting breast cancer research. There are also added entry levels for tuna
and dolphin.

This tournament was started by Capt. Steve Harman as a way for
local waitresses and bartenders to have an affordable and fun competition while
raising money for a very important cause. The tournament continues to grow with
over 100 boats entering. Participation is not limited only to anglers as there
are silent auctions, 50/50 tickets, tournament merchandise for sale, and other fun events
helping to raise money for breast cancer research. In the past 3 years alone,
the Poor Girls Open has raised over $1.7 million and donated to the American
Cancer Society.

Each angler or team may fish one out of three days.
