Jupiter, Fl– Registration is now open for the Austin Blu Foundation Land & Sea Fishing Tournament!
The first ever Austin Blu Foundation Land & Sea Fishing Tournament will take place Saturday, May 5th at the River Center in Jupiter Florida. While there are numerous fishing tournaments each year, what separates this from the others is that this tournament is family friendly with the hopes of encouraging parent/child interactions. Anglers may catch fish by land or sea entering either the release competition or the harvest competition. This tournament will benefit the Austin Blu Foundation and will raise awareness about the importance of boating safety! The tournament awards ceremony will be hosted by The River Center from 5:00-8:00pm where there will be food provided by Guanabana’s and Holy Cow Grill Food Trucks. There will also be a bounce house, games, raffle and live music.
