Northeast Florida Lionfish Blast Tournament 2013

TISIRI is at it again! Leading  the Northeast Florida Lionfish Blast Tournament coming this March, through April 2013 to NE Florida.

The invasive lionfish epidemic in the western Atlantic is an ever growing problem. Northeast Florida is no exception, and if you follow our efforts at TISIRI you know we routinely attempt to harvest lionfish from our local reefs. Unfortunately, lionfish populations are so prolific more effort is needed in hope to have an effect on the detriment the species is causing.

In an effort to encourage as much manpower as possible to harvest lionfish, a tournament awarding attractive prizes will be held throughout the month of April 2013. The event is called the Northeast Florida Lionfish Blast and is open to lionfish hunters offshore the coast of Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Prizes will be awarded in several categories with emphasis on most lionfish harvested.
