Reel Leaders Youth Fishing Tournament

This year, we are hosting our first ever Reel Leaders Youth Fishing Tournament designed to introduce young people to the great outdoors while fostering patience, responsibility, confidence, and respect for nature! 

At a time when many youth are increasingly disconnected from outdoor experiences, opportunities like this tournament play an important role in encouraging healthy, meaningful engagement beyond screens and daily routines.

Youth from across the county are invited to spend the day fishing with us at the George Jenkins Memorial Club located at 2400 Havendale Blvd NW in Winter Haven.

This tournament is open to all youth and is free for Boys & Girls Clubs of Polk County members. 

Current members may register through their existing Daxko login.  Non-members may register for just $5 using the link above!

Schedule:

• Registration: 8:00AM - 8:45AM
• Tournament: 9:00AM - 12:00PM
• Lunch & Awards: 12:00PM - 2:00PM

Enjoy a chance to get outside, have some fun, and compete for biggest fish caught!  

A note about fishing liscences:

A valid Florida fishing liscence is required for any participants age 16 and older.  Parents are free to assist their child without a liscence.  For Florida residents a 1-year fishing license is $17 and expires 365 days after date of purchase and covers all angling activities in freshwater throughout the state.  For more information please visit the Florida Fish & Wildlife website.
