Want to learn how to catch Grouper, Snapper and other reef/wreck dwelling fish? Check out the free West Marine Bottom Fishing Seminar in Jensen Beach on Thursday, August 15th. Expert anglers will present how to hook nearshore fish, which baits and lures to use and how to rig a fishing pole based on the type of fish you want to hook.

This year marks the 4th annual Anglers For The Cure KDW fishing tournament benefiting research efforts and awareness of prostate cancer. The tournament will take place at Rybovich Superyacht Marina in West Palm Beach on August 9th and 11th, 2018.
