About the Event
The Ghost Trap Rodeo is coming to your coast! It's just like your favorite inshore fishing tourney, but instead of redfish and trout, we'll be weighing in derelict crab traps and other forms of marine debris after a 4-hour search. It's all for a great cause - and with THOUSANDS in industry prizes for top collectors at each tournament event, what's not to love?!
The Ghost Trap Rodeo Tournament Series has been travelling around the state of Florida since 2018 and so far has removed over 4,000 traps and close to 400,000 pounds of marine debris with volunteers just like you! Ocean Aid 360 is dedicated to improving and maintaining the health of Florida's sensitive marine environments for the longevity of our shallow water fishery for generations to come. We hope to see you out there!
**This event occurs during the biannual 10-day Blue Crab seasonal CLOSURE, and all event participants - first timers and event veterans alike - will receive FWC approved derelict trap determination training prior to the event to ensure that no legally fishing traps will be removed from the water.
