This will be Pacific Outfitters 8th annual Trinidad Rockfish Wars! Trinidad, home of the redwoods, is also home to some of the best fishing grounds on the West Coast.This tournament is set up for two-person teams, so if you don't have a team member, sign up and we will pair you with another team member. We promote two person teams for safety and because it's always more fun to partner up with a teammate.

We would like to give a special thank you to the Trindiad Rancheria for allow us access on your land during our tournament. They’ve invested a lot of time and money into the Trinidad Pier, parking lot and facilities that we all get to enjoy. Please support their tackle shop that will be open especially for us, the morning of October 15th for any last minute items.
