Catchin' for Kids Rockfish Tournament

In its first six years, the Catchin' for Kids Rockfish Tournament has been one of the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program's top fundraisers.

Plans are under way for the seventh annual event, scheduled for Dec. 10-12 out of Oceans East 2 Tackle in Virginia Beach.

The event has raised more than $150,000 for the Marine Corps program.

More than 50 teams competed in last year's event, winning more than $14,000 in cash and prizes. Many winning teams donate all or a portion of their winnings to the charity.

Registration is $200 and a new toy, or $250.

A captains' meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 10 at Oceans East 2. Fishing is Saturday and Sunday.
