Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
There’s more than one way to catch a fish, but if your best technique includes your bare hands and a lot of luck, you might never eat mahi-mahi again. If you have a strategy that works, enter the third annual Miami Fishing Tournament, where local fisherman take to Biscayne Bay to see who can catch the largest dolphin, wahoo, and kingfish in the smallest amount of time. This amateur tournament will bring the winner more than dinner and bragging rights. A $5,000 prize is up for grabs, and with entry fees at just $275 per team, that cash will buy you a lot of chum. Oh, and bring the kiddies, because peewee and junior anglers can enter to win their own pintsize trophies. For rules and team signup, call 305-579-6955 or visit miamifishingtournament.org.
Don’t fret, goldfish-catchers. The event will also celebrate National Marina Day, so beginning at 7 a.m., there’ll be music, food, and free fun for all at Miamarina.
