The Tightlined Slam is a fly and light tackle fishing tournament in the western Long Island Sound dedicated to conservation.
This is a catch-and-release-only tournament, with proceeds going to the Marine Fish Conservation Network (“Network”), a coalition of commercial and recreational fishing associations, regional and national conservation groups, aquaria, and marine science organizations committed to sustaining fish populations, healthy marine ecosystems, and fishing communities.
Anglers compete in up to nine categories on both a team and individual basis, targeting striped bass, bluefish, false albacore and bonito.
