Up Coming Tournaments

There are a few fishing tournaments coming up in the Middle and Lower Keys that are a lot of fun. Pay outs are low, but if you get into the Calcutta, you can win some cash. The first one is the Captain Leon Shell Memorial Billfish Tournament, February every year. This is an angler tournament, $75 to $100 per angler. You get a nice captain's bag and a great meal at the awards banquet. Most Sailfish normally wins the over-all, tuna, dolphin and wahoo have divisions as well.
