Lee BIA’s 18th Annual Bricks & Sticks Fishing Tournament set for June 12-14
The Lee Building Industry Association’s 18th Annual Bricks & Sticks Fishing Tournament, presented by the Modern Tile and Carpet, will be held June 12-14, in Southwest Florida.
This three-day tournament brings together building industry professionals, local businesses and anglers for a weekend of fishing, fun and networking — all in support of the Lee BIA’s mission to strengthen the building industry through advocacy, education and community engagement.
Last year’s tournament was the biggest yet, with 87 teams, over 320 anglers, and 450-plus guests attending the Saturday night awards celebration. Organizers say this year promises to be even bigger, with cash prizes totaling $10,500, including:
• 1st Place: $5,000
• 2nd Place: $3,000
• 3rd Place: $2,000
• Mystery Fish Winner: $500
Early bird registration is now open for $325 per angler and includes:
• Entry to all three event nights (captains’ party, tournament day, and awards dinner)
• Open bars
• Tournament swag, including an exclusive fishing shirt and hat.
The Captain’s Dinner is at The Ranch at 2158 Colonial Blvd., Fort Myers, June 12, from 6-8 p.m. The Roof’s Right Welcome Cocktail party is June 13 from 6-8 p.m. at The Westin Cape Coral Resort at 5951 Silver King Blvd. The tournament kicks off at 7 a.m. June 14 with all pictures submitted by 4 p.m.
Closing out the event will be the Awards Party, also to be held at The Westin Cape Coral Resort Ballroom starting at 6 p.m.
Sponsorship opportunities are also available, offering prime brand exposure to hundreds of local professionals and decision-makers.
“The Bricks & Sticks Tournament is more than just a fishing event — it’s a celebration of our industry and community,” said Phillip Ford, executive vice president of the Lee BIA. “From the docks to the dinner party, this event is packed with great energy, meaningful connections, and a whole lot of fun.”
