Florida Police and Fire Games on Treasure Coast will include first-ever offshore fishing tournament, members of the public can participate

Among the dozens of events of the 2011 Florida Police and Fire Games will be a first-ever offshore fishing tournament on Saturday, June 25, with a captain's meeting the night before at the Fort Pierce City Marina where the tournament will be headquartered. Members of the public can participate as long as each boat has on board a current or retired law enforcement officer or fire fighter, according to the tournament's organizers. There are three cash prizes: $2,500 for first place, $1,250 for second place and $750 for third place. There are three species of saltwater fish: Barracuda, Bonita and any variety of Jack. Because these fish are not considered to be of commercial value, the tournament is called a "Trash Can Fishing Tournament." Sponsors of the tournament at this time are Blue Water Boats and Ameracat Boats, both of Fort Pierce. Those who wish to become sponsors are asked to call 772-462-3210.
