The Michael Shields Memorial Inshore Open caters to all members of the community, regardless of age or skill level. It was designed to increase awareness of The Boys and Girls Clubs of Martin County within the community; to provide much needed funding to help keep the lights on for the Palm City Branch, specifically; and to get the whole community excited about fishing.

We will kick off the event with a Captain's Reception at the River Palm Cottages and Fish Camp at 7:00 p.m., on Friday, September 25, 2009. The tournament will begin immediately thereafter. Teams of 4 Anglers or less will target Snook, Tarpon, Redfish and Trout. Anglers and their families are invited to attend the awards ceremony at the River Palm Cottages and Fish Camp at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday September 26. Both Angler Registration and Non-Angler tickets for both parties may be reserved with the forms provided below.
