SWFL’s first Paddle Craft Fishing Tournamnet Series! 2nd Tournament in 4 part series!

Tournament Series Summary:
The 2019 Heroes Inshore Slam Tournament Series will be a paddle craft only, Florida Inshore Slam, catch photo release (CPR) tournament series. The objective is to catch and photograph the largest Florida inshore slam in total combined inches of each of the following species of fish: one (1) Red Drum, one (1) Snook, and one (1) Spotted Seatrout. A Slam is not required to place in the competition but a Slam will supersede a 2 fish bag and a two (2) fish bag will supersede a one (1) fish bag.

Heroes on the Water helps our Nation’s active duty warriors, and veterans from all branches of the United States military and first responder communities unwind using the therapeutic qualities of fishing from kayaks.

HOW provides “Triple Threat Therapy” (mental, physical, and occupational) to treat physical and mental disabilities attributed to the warrior’s service to our Nation.
