What is the Fishing Rodeo?
The Fishing Rodeo is a fishing tournament that started in 1965. The tournament began as a Pompano Beach Chamber of Commerce event intending to keep winter tourist in South Florida longer than the winter months and to bring attention to the charter boat business. The tournament was named the Fishing Rodeo because it is a “roundup” of the most popular species. In 1978, the Fishing Rodeo was incorporated as a non-profit corporation. The Rodeo has grown through the years and is a South Florida tradition. We are not a series nor circuit of tournaments, we are THE POMPANO BEACH FISHING RODEO that welcomes all for a good time!
