Sarah James Fulcher Redfish Tournament

The Sarah James Fulcher Foundation’s flagship fundraiser, the Sarah James Fulcher Redfish Tournament is an annual event held in Cedar Island, NC, in honor of Sarah James Fulcher, a young native of Down East, whose love for life, and mesmerizing smile, inspired a community to come together in celebration of our beautiful island, and to improve inclusive access to all of the natural resources that Sarah James loved so dearly. Since 2018, the annual tournament has continued to grow in participation, attendance, and prize money, having 198 registered boats and 4500+ in attendance last year, with over $60,000 in prize money. From its inception, this tournament has been about creating a one of a kind, family friendly atmosphere, with great food, mind-blowing music and some of the best drum fishing in the world. Whether you are a master angler, new to fishing, or even a father / daughter team with a tiller motor, the Sarah James Fulcher Redfish Tournament has something for everyone to enjoy.
