Grand Strand Fishing Rodeo: Free 'Take a Kid Fishing' Tournament for Families

The Grand Strand Fishing Rodeo brings together local piers for monthly catch contests, tournaments, and events that draw anglers year-round—fishing is a hallmark activity here! One of the most popular events is the 'Take a Kid Fishing' tournament.

This family-friendly tournament introduces young anglers to fishing while fostering quality time between kids and parents, relatives, or volunteers. Participating piers, official weigh stations for the Rodeo, provide complimentary snacks, drinks, and prizes.

Best of all, entry is free. Teams can use their own gear or borrow complimentary equipment from piers. Awards go to first-, second-, and third-place winners at each pier for the largest single catch (by child) and total fish caught and released (per team) across three age divisions. For details, visit the Grand Strand Fishing Rodeo on Facebook and happy fishing!
