StriperFest 2022

StriperFest Boat Drawing Live Event!

THE BOAT DRAWING IS HAPPENING LIVE!

The Nor’easter took StriperFest off the calendar, but it isn’t taking the drawing with it. We’re going live from the bench to close out the 2026 Striper Cup the way it should be closed out. Stay tuned as we announce the date of the livestream!

Jimmy and Chris will conduct the official Striper Cup grand-prize drawing on air, so if you’re holding a Golden Ticket, this is the one to watch.

On the broadcast:

  • The official Striper Cup grand-prize drawing
  • A close look at the Skeeter boat and its electronics package
  • Special offers from our partners, first access for anyone watching
  • A brand-new massive giveaway
  • Your questions and comments, live

Stay Tuned for Updates

Thanks for sticking with us through a rough weekend. See you Thursday.

StriperFest is held in On The Water’s hometown: the historic Cape Cod town of Falmouth, Massachusetts. Located right on Vineyard Sound, it’s the perfect location to celebrate a great season of fishing for striped bass and gather on the waterfront at Falmouth Harbor.

The Upper Cape is surrounded by world-class fall fishing, so don’t forget to bring your gear and plan to stay awhile. Falmouth offers something for the whole family, with great shopping, dining and nightlife, and easily accessible ferries from Falmouth Harbor to Martha’s Vineyard. Mark your calendars now for a fun-filled weekend!
