Surf Fishing Competitions Return to The Wildwoods this September

As the summer crowds fade and the weather remains just as beautiful, many gather for surf fishing competitions on the five-mile beach this September. The Wildwoods are a popular location for fishing year-round with spots along the back bay, on docks or at street ends, as well as plenty of beaches along Hereford Inlet in North Wildwood where fishing enthusiasts gather for surf fishing.

Stop by during your weekend getaway or make the trip to compete and see why so many choose the Wildwoods for surf fishing. Competitions this September are as follows:
