Inviting all Anglers to the Sugarloaf Showdown! A weekend dedicated to showing your friends you are a better fisherman than they are, for the benefit of charity. Join us while we have fun, catch and release fish, and help our community this November 1-3, 2018.
The Lower Keys Guides Association’s Sugarloaf Showdown is a catch and release inshore fishing tournament focusing on bonefish, permit and barracuda.

The Sugarloaf Showdown Benefit: There will be a silent auction, during the awards banquet at Sugarloaf Lodge Tiki Bar patio on Saturday at 6pm. Available for bidding will be high quality fishing gear and accessories donated by supporters. Proceeds from the silent auction benefit the Guides Trust Foundation, which provides emergency funds for fishing guides in the Florida Keys who have been injured or are recovering from illness.
The tournament is open to all anglers and guides. The fee is $250 per 2-person team. This team event is limited to three per boat, with two fishing and the third strictly as a guide.
