The Sea Shell Beach Club's 11th Annual Striped Bass Derby

Every October, many of the best striped bass anglers on the East Coast sign up their boats and crews to compete in LBI's final fishing tournament of the season. Our weekend-long competition benefits local charities such as Beach Haven Volunteer First Aid Squad, Neighbors in Need, The LBI Community Activities Center in Beach Haven and  the LBI Museum. In 2005, the Tourney raised $14,000 for the First Aid Squad.
The Sea Shell's club, motel and restaurant provides everything needed on site, except of course for the bass. This year's proceeds are going to benefit Beach Haven's Surflight Theater.
