American Angler began as a small group of friends who loved to fish, and has since grown into a club that offers fishing adventures for anglers of all levels – including the annual LBI Grand Slam Surf Fishing Tournament. This year’s tourney is set for 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19, on the ocean beaches of Long Beach Island.

Anglers can enter as a team – with up to six people – or as an individual. Cost to register as a team is $80, or $90 the day of the tournament.
