GCCF FISHING DERBY
2026 Gavers Fishing Derby
Event Date
The tournament will be held on Monday, June 1st.
Registration
The entry fee is $1,500, which covers up to six guests. Your registration includes a guided charter and dinner after we return from fishing. (Please note that participants are responsible for securing their own fishing licenses.)
Pre‑Party & Post‑Party
We’ll gather both before and after the derby at Fin and Ale. If you skipped dinner last year, you missed a classic fish fry—and the return of the legendary blackened fish—so be sure to join us this time.
Location
Fin and Ale
4120 7th Ave
Kenosha
Additional Notes
Congratulations again to the winners of the 2025 Captains Bet, the “Rock Crusher” team—Steve Gavers and Dave Plote. We have 13 boats remaining for this year’s event, and last year sold out, so early registration is strongly encouraged.
