Spring is here and tournament season is upon us! This means it is time to register for Sharpe Showdown!

Sharpe Showdown is hosted by the Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce. This year’s tournament will take place April 27-28. The entry fee is $450 per team and the tournament will offer a 100% payback. 

The tournament is limited to 60 teams, which is why registering early is important to secure your spot in the event. 

This will be the second event of The Fishing Crew 2024 Team of the Year competition. Team of the Year standings will be awarded based on Cedar Shore Day One and Two, Sharpe Showdown, and Governor’s Cup. Individuals looking to participate in this series will include their payment in their entry to the Cedar Shore Resort tournament.

Anglers will launch out of Downs Marina on to Lake Sharpe and may fish anywhere along the reservoir. This is a catch-and-release tournament with anglers being allotted seven tags and may weigh their best five each day. Anglers must follow waterbody specific regulations, with a minimum length of 15 inches and up to two walleyes per day 20 inches or greater. 

The rules meeting will take place Friday, April 26 at 7:00 p.m. CT at River City Public Transit in Pierre. All anglers are required to attend this rules meeting with registration beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Now is the time for anglers interested in fishing this event to get their registration completed and make plans to fish the 2024 Sharpe Showdown.
