Cedar Island, NC’s Premier Family-Friendly Fishing Event
The Sarah James Fulcher Redfish Tournament is the flagship fundraiser of the Sarah James Fulcher Foundation, held annually in beautiful Cedar Island, North Carolina. Created in memory of Sarah James Fulcher, a vibrant Down East native whose warmth, energy, and love for life brought people together, this event celebrates not only her legacy—but also the breathtaking natural beauty of our island home.
Every year, the tournament brings together anglers, families, and community members from near and far to fish the legendary red drum waters of Cedar Island. More than just a competition, the event supports the Foundation’s mission to ensure everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the outdoor experiences that meant so much to Sarah James.
Since its founding in 2018, the Sarah James Fulcher Redfish Tournament has grown into one of the largest red drum fishing tournaments in North Carolina. Whether you're a seasoned redfish angler, a father/daughter duo with a tiller motor, or brand new to the sport, this event welcomes everyone with open arms.
The tournament weekend is about more than just fishing. It's a full celebration of Down East culture!
If you're looking for a redfish fishing tournament in North Carolina that combines competitive angling with heartfelt community spirit, the Sarah James Fulcher Redfish Tournament is the one to fish.
