Palm Beach Freedivers - 4th Annual Kingfish Shootout - May 5, 2012
Palm Beach Freedivers is hosting its 4th Annual Kingfish Shootout - May 5, 2012 in Jupiter - sponsored by Florida Freedivers. They have generously provided us with some nice prizes - Mares spearguns, Rob Allen gun bags, Cressi and Mares masks, dive knives, and other items.
This event is open to non-club members, so if you're a freediver and want to come dive with us, this is a great opportunity to have fun diving with our club. The entry fee is $40 and includes a picnic style lunch for all participants. The tournament is based out of Burt Reynolds park in Jupiter - captains meeting is at 7:30 AM, shootout starts promptly at 8:00 AM, ends at 2:00 PM with the weigh in and prizes immediately afterward. See the flyer attached here for more details. If you are planning to attend with a boat and have extra room, post up here so we can match you up with other divers that are looking for a ride. Stay tuned to this thread for updates.... Hope to see you there! |

Great! Are you going to team up with your Dad? He second shot the cobia in my avatar, and was fending off the sharks...and he helped patch up a nice cut I got that day too. Good to have him around.
See you there! |

Hahaha...thanks Andrew. Summer is a fearless spearo and good hunter. Unfortunately, I am commited to be in the Caymans with PFI during that time. I know it will be a great tournament as usual.

Well Andrew that was my plan...... Apparently my father seems to feel free diving with no gun in your hand is more important then a tournament with his daughter (just kidding dad), but def count me in sounds like such a fun tournament!!

Sack up and shoot your grouper after you've tagged a couple monster kings

Re: Palm Beach Freedivers - 4th Annual Kingfish Shootout - May 5, 2012
I just found out that there is a fishing KDW tournament on the same day...and of perhaps some Cinco De Mayo party boaters?
Everyone...please be extra vigilant in protecting your divers and also, please be courteous of our fishermen friends. We should all get some nice fish. Hope to see you all there! |

Re: Palm Beach Freedivers - 4th Annual Kingfish Shootout - May 5, 2012
Andrew,
We had a great time with the Palm Beach Freedivers that came over for some easy shallow water diving at the Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge. Our greenwater TBSC freedivers are excited to return the favor and swap that out for some deeper, blue East coast water with you guys. Looking forward to the kingfish tournament. Bill Van Deman

We're looking forward to diving with you guys over on our side of the state. I certainly hope that we can treat you to some crystal clear blue water...and we likely can expect just that. Let me know who is coming over and if they're bringing boats or need rides so we can get them accommodated. Steve is helping get the boat situation organized. Key info is in the flyer in at the beginning of this thread, but give me a call if you need anything. Best Regards, Andrew Green |
