The Manhattan Cup is one of the top inshore fishing tournaments in the Northeast. Anglers fish for striped bass, bluefish, and weakfish in three divisions: bait, artificial, and fly. The tournament benefits the FishermanÂ’s Conservation Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving, promoting, and protecting New YorkÂ’s fisheries, estuaries, tributaries, watersheds. Proceeds help fund the FCAÂ’s efforts to achieve game fish status for the striped bass, as well as other conservation and charity causes. For more about the Manhattan Cup, visit manhattancup.com.
