Welcome, Miami is home to some of the best fishing in the world. FishStock brings to an offshore fishing tournament that encourages family fishing and fun. The structure of this event will give all types of anglers a chance to compete for trophies, money and prizes, including a new boat, motor and trailer. Additionally, a separate Tournament within a Tournament (TWT) has been created to enhance the challenge and increase the prize money. To spread the opportunities to win, we have limited each boat to winning two (2) places per category; however, a boat can place in all seven (7) categories. First-, second- and third-place prizes will be awarded to boats in under 26 feet and over 26 feet size categories, giving large and small boats a chance at some big winnings.

Calm Seas prevail and the fishing is good. The sailfish and possibly a marlin or two are still around. Dolphin fishing is excellent, and bottomfish are everywhere. It is almost impossible to go offshore this time of year and not catch a boatload of fish. The question is, How big a fish can you catch?

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
