The Lionfish Tournament was a major success and such a positive energy for the whole island.
I'm hoping the organizers see fit to do it again soon. They did tons for getting them on the menus around town and raised awareness substantially.
And hurray for the FOOLS (Fraternal Order of Lionfish Slayers).
A unique little handy kill stick was developed and collection bag , it was just good,good and good.

i am hoping for one mid may i missed the first two,do not want to miss the third

Someone has developed an cute and effective little spear for them . I think Captain Sharks sells them.

Do you know what the price is ?
also can you use this on lionfish while under scuba or just free diving
Do you need a licsense?

Jweber, Did you mean what the prize is?
I think there where a lot of prizes.
I think you don't need a licenses to shoot them but I'm not the expert on the rules.
spearing while scuba ban is lifted for lionfish as far as i know.

no i was wondering what the spear gun was worth

I saw it for 75.usd on the FOOLS page

Wish they'd have an open season on cormorants around here - most destructive animal alive......protected....good God!

that looks like a varation of a hawaian sling,ill have to see if capt sharks have them in stock
im assuming by the numbers caught in both outings hardly a dent has been made in the population
were they caught inside the reef or outside?
