FTBA is excited to announce the 2026 FTBA Roads & Reels Fishing Tournament, proudly sponsored by Ring Power Corporation! This year's Roads & Reels Tournament will be a catch and release tournament targeting the following fish - Redfish, Snook and Trout. An additional Inland Grand Slam (combined length) will be awarded to the boat with the greatest combined length of one eligible Redfish, one eligible Snook and one eligible Trout. Each fish must be caught during official tournament hours and submitted through the required catch-and-release photo verification process. All tournament fees will benefit the FTBA TransPAC*, which will allow us to continue to advocate for our members and the transportation industry as one collective voice.

A small room block is being held at the Residence Inn by Marriott St. Petersburg Tierra Verde. A link for reserving a room within the block will be provided following registration.
