It is almost that time of the year when Meat Fish Tournament season begins. I put together a consolidated list of events that are run out of Palm Beach, Boynton and Hillsborough inlet. By all means there are a number of additional tournaments that overlap with the below list. Some weekends it is very possible to have 4 different tournaments going on within the same weekend. Not to mention the TWT’s (Tournament within a Tournament). TWT’s can be Calcutta’s, SKA event (Southern Kingfish Association) or Angler Amory “fish what you want” contest.

By getting involved in TWT’s it provides your team additional opportunities to complete. For our team we truly enjoy fishing the SKA (Southern Kingfish Association) in the Single Engine Division. Being able to compete against other teams that have a similar setup truly makes it fun and competitive.

If you are entering a tournament for the first time and a seasoned vet it is critical to do your homework and prep accordingly. Below is a quick list I run down every tournament/fishing day.

• Bait-Live pre ordered & Dead
• Rigs are all made in advance.
• Stinger Rigs (all different sizes)
• Ribbon Fish Rigs
• Kite rigs ( Floro & Wire)
• Ballyhoo Rigs (If Trolling)
• Strip Rigs (If Trolling)
• Fresh Bullbuster mono (30lb-blue) on all reels
• Fresh Bullbuster Floro Carbon Leader (40lb)
• All Drags set at Strike accordingly
• Kites
• Helium & balloons for light wind
• Kite trident
• Electric Kite Reel
• Downriggers
• Downrigger Weights
• Live Bait Net
• Fish Kill Bag
• Dead bait bag
• EXTRAS OF EVERYTHING

Preparation is essential to being successful during a tournament. Time is of the essence and some times that hot bite only last for a short period of time. Be able to reset or find something you need quickly will lead to more fish going to the box in the long run.

So start your prep work early, sign up, and slay it in 2020!!
