Dear Friends:

I am proud to welcome you to the 2021 Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament! This
event has been one of Northeast Florida’s greatest traditions for more than four decades.
As a lifelong fishing enthusiast who greatly enjoys time on the water with family and
friends, I am excited for this wonderful tradition continue in our great city.

For more than 40 years, this event has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in support of
many local charitable organizations through Jacksonville Marine Charities, Inc. In addition,
to its time-honored community support, the tournament engages thousands of sponsors,
residents and volunteers who contribute innumerable hours to make this tournament a
success. I am confident that you will feel a true sense of comradery as you support anglers
and captains of all ages and skill levels.

For those who are visiting Northeast Florida, I hope you will make the time to explore all that
makes Jacksonville such a unique and special place. From the miles of pristine coastline to all
the dining, shopping, sports, culture, and entertainment that Jacksonville has to offer. I am
sure that you will find Northeast Florida is the place to be, and why so many people are proud
to call our city home.

Enjoy a great day on the water and best of luck. I sincerely thank you for your participation
and support of our community!

Sincerely,

Lenny Curry

It’s time to take a kid fishing!
  Kingfish Tournament tlme is upon us again.
  Each year this gives all boat captains a real opportunity
to have a positive influence on the younger generation. A
lot complain about our kids playing video games or staying
on social media and just sitting around the house. If we
can teach our kids about the wonder of the outdoors and
particularly the ocean what a life changing event that could
be. The Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament offers all
boat captains the chance to have just such an impact on our
local youth. The cost to enter a Junior Angler in the Offshore
Tournament is only $10, the same price it was in 1981! If your
boat is not entered in the General Tournament you can still
take a Junior Angler for only $50 each. Last year there was
over a 260 Junior Anglers entered. These are the experiences
that life memories are made of.                                    how much it would mean to them. Come on, let’s put a smile

  The GJKT recognizes the top 25 Junior Anglers with               on the kids faces, and I’ll bet that there will be one on yours

valuable prizes. Last year the top Junior won a boat, motor        as well.

and trailer. If you are like me and your Jr Angler has aged
out, I am sure that there are other Jr Anglers in your family or     Chuck Darner
social circle that would love to fish the Tournament. Just think

America’s Boating Club in Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Sail & Power Squadron (JSPS), is part of the world’s
largest recreational boating organization. For more than 60 years, we have worked to make the waters around
Jacksonville a safer place through boating education, civic service and fellowship.
Through JSPS, you can improve your boating skills and knowledge with certified instructors. Since we offer a wide
range of courses, you have lots of choices. You can take advantage of any course. Need help? We can help you
decide where to start. If you are a beginning boater, you might want to start with America's Boating Course (ABC)
or Boat Handling. ABC will also fulfil Florida’s requirement for an approved boating course so you can legally
operate a boat. Boat Handling goes further, and gives you a fuller understanding of boating knowledge and
techniques. If you are interested in getting around on longer trips, then you'll want to take our in-depth Marine
Navigation courses. These will help you make way in charted waters like large lakes, bays, and near shore gulf
and ocean boating. You may be interested in electronic navigation tools with our Electronic Navigation course. If
you want even more, we teach Offshore and Celestial Navigation courses, aimed at offshore long-distance
boating.
If you have a boat, or if you are thinking of getting one, you may want one of our operations and maintenance
courses: Engine Maintenance, Marine Electrical Systems, or Marine Communication Systems. Want to know more
about Weather, Sail boating, or Cruise Planning? We have those, too.
If you have a boat and want to make sure it is US Coast Guard compliant, contact us and schedule a free vessel
safety inspection.
If you just want to get involved with an organization that serves its community and has a great time together doing
it, consider JSPS. We support many events in the area including the Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament, the Mug
Race, Poker Run, and the annual Blessing of the Fleet. By joining America’s premier boating organization, you can
have fun with other boaters on the water and on land!
