8th Annual Harwich Headhunt
Last summer, we finished our 7th annual Harwich Head Hunt striped-bass fishing tournament, and were once again thrilled with the level of participation by local fisherman, the eager assistance of local businesses, and the encouragement to continue to make this a regular event.
The 2010 tournament was a hit, with a record number of boats, a thrilling scene at the weigh in and a great post tournament party, where Mike O’Brien and his team recaptured the trophy to become 4 time champs! The buzz continues to grow around the tourney, and we look forward to making the 2011 tourney the biggest and baddest yet.
As avid anglers and 20-year residents of Harwich, we are aware that there are a limited (albeit growing) number of open fishing tournaments in the area targeting the recreational angler. Leveraging our current network of friends and local fisherman, we have proved that we can build this local fishing tournament into an annual event that will continue to grow over time. We continue to combine our love of striped bass fishing, trash talking at bars, and building out a community oriented event to make the Headhunt a day we look forward to every year.
Through the growth of the Harwich Headhunt we are looking to:
· Drive more interest to the local area by promoting one of it’s greatest assets, striper fishing
· Increase exposure within the fishing community to one of the best fishing areas in the country. The waters off of Harwich and Monomoy contain some of the best striper fishing in the world, and the tournament creates a significant marketing vehicle for the area
· Foster a camaraderie amongst the local fishing (and bar) community to build out a community event that supports local businesses, and our competitive juices
Last year, we worked with Jake Rooney’s who hosted a terrific post-tournament banquet with the weigh in taking place onsite as well. We are also approaching local business and media, and please email us at headhunt@gmail.com if you would like to be involved as a sponsor.
Our 2010 tournament was a success thanks to all of our generous and supportive sponsors, including –
- Sunrise Bait and Tackle shop,
- Villa Roma Restaurant
- Monahan Fine Jewelers
- O’Brien Pest Control
- Goose Hummock
- Escape Landscaping

Ryan & Sean Burke
