  • WAIVER REQUIRED BEFORE PARTICIPATION
    Every attendee, including Family Day guests, must complete an OTB-approved waiver. Adults sign for themselves; a parent/legal guardian signs for each youth. Captains and boat owners/authorized representatives require the appropriate separate approvals and agreements.
    Registration requests are open while final waiver wording and event arrangements are being finalized. This form does not collect a legal release. Anyone who sponsors a boat has a guaranteed seat; other fishing-seat requests remain subject to availability and review. OTB will provide the approved waiver for completion before participation.

  • BOAT SPONSOR SEATS AND PLACEMENT REVIEW
    Anyone who sponsors a boat has a guaranteed seat. Other registration requests remain subject to availability and review. Team assignment choices are available only to boat providers.
    Youth fishing is for OTB kids age 17 and under. Requests are ordered by each individual youth’s original submission time and submission ID; a team request does not reserve places for unregistered youth or jump the line. OTB verifies eligibility, waivers, adults, captains and boats before confirming placements. Pending paperwork does not silently change the original timestamp. Capacity may create a waitlist.
    Each boat: no more than four youth and two adults INCLUDING the captain, with at least one OTB parent adult. The boat’s lower certified capacity always applies. An offered boat is not an approved staffed boat. OTB selects charter captains and will work with parents on comfort or preferences. For provided boats, OTB must vet and approve each captain and participating support adult before final assignments. Preferences do not guarantee a particular captain, boat or team. Families confirm the final boating arrangements before boarding.

  • OTB RISING TIDE INVITATIONAL
    Youth Fishing Tournament • Family Day • Fall Season Awards Ceremony
    Free for OTB kids and families. Youth fishing is for OTB kids who have previously participated in OTB programs or are registered to participate in future OTB programs, including cleanups. Questions? Reach out to OTB at info@overthebridgefuturefishers.org. All OTB friends and families are invited to celebrate, cheer, make connections, relax, laugh and enjoy the community these kids have built. This is about getting the kids on the water, not a fundraising admission.
    Saturday, December 12, 2026, 6:00 AM–3:00 PM Central. Tournament central: Padre Island Yacht Club (PIYC); fishing locations: North Padre Island. Registration closes November 30, 2026. Weather dependent. Rules and final logistics will be announced. Fishing places depend on approved boats and crew; Family Day attendance does not reserve a fishing seat.
    Optional $1,000 USD boat sponsorship is a pledge, not an entry fee or payment collection. Anyone who sponsors a boat has a guaranteed seat. Food, drinks, desserts, utensils, prizes, gear, boats and volunteer help are welcome. List each specific item and quantity separately; choose Add new item for each additional item. Public tournament updates will list registered fishers by first name and last initial, including youth anglers, and show reviewed aggregate counts and approved contribution descriptions/status. Full surnames, ages, contact information and waivers will not be displayed. A public listing does not confirm a boat assignment or approved fishing seat.
