The Fishermen's Conservation Association hosts the Manhattan Cup
"catch and release" fishing tournament in New York City.
The FCA Manhattan Cup consists of fifty professional fishing guides
who provide their boats and expertise to individual teams competing
for the largest striped bass, bluefish and weakfish among three
categories (fly, artificial and bait).
Financial support of FCA will directly benefit New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut's marine waters. The association's priorities
include fighting the proposed dumping of toxic wastein Jamaica Bay,
beach access, and promoting "Hooked for a Lifetime," a
children's fishing program.
