Baytowne Marina Inshore Fishing Tournament
New for 2025, the Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic is excited to introduce the Emerald Coast Bay Division, an inshore fishing tournament designed for passionate anglers ready to take on the local waters of Choctawhatchee Bay and beyond. Whether fishing by boat, kayak, paddleboard, or even from shore, anglers will compete for cash, prizes, and the chance to be part of the ECBC tradition.
This two-day, angler-only tournament puts skill, strategy, and local knowledge to the test, targeting Redfish and Trout — two of the most sought-after inshore species on the Gulf Coast. With up to $10,000 in cash and prizes and the exclusive opportunity to be recognized on stage during the official ECBC Awards Ceremony, the Emerald Coast Bay Division is the perfect way to join the ECBC excitement.
