Letter from the SBBT Committee

The SBBT is back for our 9th yearly event with dates of May 1 and 2, 2025. All rules and entry fee stay the same ($410 including conservation fee).

The Howie’s Tackle Practice Day is being planned for April 30 and will have prizes for big fish, a chance to get your prefishing in, learn the weigh on the water system, and if you register one of the big fish you could win some valuable prizes. This practice day will be open to all who are registered into the 2 day tournament.

Again Fish Donkey will be our app to register in.

See The Rules

Thanks to the generous donations of our great LOCAL sponsors we will again be adding $10,000 to this years prize money!!

Add that to the new addition to the practice day payoff for the THREE largest Bass caught during that day. That’s $300 for the largest, and Howie’s Tackle gift certificates for the second and third largest. That’s $600 in added prizes on a practice day. No other tournament offers anything like that – all thanks to our local bait and tackle store Howie’s Tackle.

Along with that, the SBBT is still committed to getting our younger anglers involved in competitive angling as well as outdoor experiences. The Youth Bonus will be given out to the top 3 finishing youth/adult teams again this year.

That is 3 very good reasons to sign up now for this year’s SBBT. That’s April 30th for practice day, and May 1st and 2nd at Sawyer Park. And don’t forget we Weigh on the Water protecting our bass the best way.

About Us

Great Community, Great Tournament!

The nineth Annual Sturgeon Bay Bass Tournament (SBBT) will be held on May 1 and 2, 2025. After a successful first eight years, tournament organizers are confident this year’s tournament will be even bigger and better, yet still maintaining the focus of a family-friendly event.

The SBBT staff is committed to putting on a great event that will not only benefit the community stakeholders but will showcase the world-class fishery we have here in Door County. Tournament Director Gary Nault states “We want to continue to bring a quality, competitive, yet fun, family event to the Sturgeon Bay community. Based on feedback from last year, we feel like we are on the right track.”
