Nags Head Surf Fishing Club — About and Events

About

Founded in 1951 by local Outer Banks fishermen, Nags Head Surf Fishing Club was created to attract more visitors during the area’s off season.

The Club’s signature annual event is a 3 day Surf Fishing Tournament held each October in Nags Head. It has expanded to 80 teams, with six members on every team.

Each June, the Club hosts a FREE fishing tournament for children. The Youth Tournament welcomes kids ages 4-9 and 10-16, with trophies and food bringing the day to a close. In 2018, 259 kids representing 10 different states competed.

Adult anglers can also take part in 2 smaller individual-fisherman tournaments: the Member Guest Tournament and the Annual Member Tournament.

Membership is currently open. Anyone can join, including young people, older adults, local residents, and occasional visitors.
