The Leo Almeida Memorial North Shore Striped Bass Tournament is celebrating its eighth year on Labor Day weekend, September 4th – 6th. It is the only tournament that combines the North Shore’s fishing heritage with the fight against hunger in local communities.

It is named in memory of its founder, Leo Almeida, a lifelong resident of the North Shore who created the tournament to bring together his love of fishing and his commitment to the community.
This tournament is about a lot of things, but most of all, it is about fishing and fun. Boston’s North Shore is home to some of the best striper fishing on the East Coast. The waters of Essex County, Massachusetts stretch from Lynn and Nahant all the way to the New Hampshire border. Are you a surfcaster in Marblehead? Maybe you fish from a boat somewhere off Cape Ann?
