Welcome, not only does Miami have some of the best fishing in the world, but also the diversity of our fisheries is unprecedented. FishStock brings to you an inshore/backwater fishing tournament that is structured around family fishing and fun. Families and weekend anglers can compete in this event for money, trophies and prizes, including the chance to win a new boat, motor and trailer. Everyone has a chance to win. Only one cash prize will be awarded to any single participating boat within the Mangrove Snapper category. Additionally, a separate release Tournament within a Tournament (TWT) has been created for those wishing to fish for the more challenging species.

The mangrove snapper was not selected strictly on the basis of its popularity in sport fishing. To protect the ecosystems, we are targeting a fish that can be caught away from the fragile grass flats, since encouraging 125 boats to target fish on fragile grass flats could result in damage to the shallow estuaries. Mangrove snapper can be caught in the bay.

We believe the average family has a good chance at catching a tournament-eligible mangrove snapper from any type of boat. You might even surprise some of the pros. Show us your stuff, and help us showcase our fishing to anglers outside the Miami area. You’ll also be doing your part to protect the environment.

We know you will enjoy the fishing and FishStock. Make plans now to be in Miami from Thursday through the weekend and enjoy with your family free seminars, boat and tackle show, kids activities and the latest in marine equipment. It will be a great place to spend some quality time with the family, take in some tunes, enjoy the food court and bring your friends. Let’s make this weekend a summer vacation tradition!

I look forward to seeing you there,
Monty Lopez,
Tournament Director
