The 2025 Islamorada Backcountry Fishing Tournament, hosted by ABC FEC, was nothing short of unforgettable. Held May 2–3 in the stunning Florida Keys, this sold-out event brought together fierce competition, unbeatable camaraderie, and the picture-perfect backdrop of turquoise waters.

Members kicked off the weekend with an overnight stay and party at the Three Waters Resort & Marina before casting off for a thrilling day of fishing at Lorelei Marina. Thanks to our presenting sponsors, Bateman, Gordon & Sands, Inc., and Southeast Mechanical Contractors, the vibes were high and the stakes even higher.

From tight lines to tight-knit bonds, members are already counting down the days until the 2026 edition of this beloved ABC-FEC tradition.
