I could give you the old line about “The license tags change colors.” Another sign of change of seasons is a parade of boats chugging down the Intracoastal Waterway. Lots of shiny new yachts are headed for the <a href="http://www.showmanagement.com/fort_lauderdale/event/">54th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show</a>.

If you have lived south of Palm Beach for a long time, you notice the subtle drop in humidity on early October mornings. The sky is a brighter blue. The October moon brings higher tides. If you get out early, you will see the falcons and hawks migrating south. Fishermen have been watching for the bait to show up on the beaches. The mullet run brings tarpon, snook, jacks, kingfish and spinner sharks within easy reach of anglers a hundred yards or less from shore.

All of this means great near shore fishing. The wahoo are starting to show at <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/destinations/bahamas/west-end-grand-bahama-island.html">Old Bahama Bay</a> and <a href="http://www.guyharveyoutpost.com/destinations/bahamas/green-turtle-cay-abacos.html">Green Turtle</a>. The big wahoo will be in residence before Thanksgiving. The sailfish will start showing up in good numbers any day now.
I know Fall is here: just this week I saw three falcons and a line at the tackle shop. – Capt. Ned Stone

![](mailto:?subject=Guy Harvey-Sponsored All-Release Tournaments Partnering to Cross-Promote, Spread Message&body=<a href="https://guyharvey.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/usc-wrtt.png"><img title="Tournament Logos Designed by Guy Harvey" src="https://guyharvey.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/usc-wrtt.png" alt="" width="450" height="167" /></a>
Creators of the <a title="GHUSC web site" href="http://ultimatesharkchallenge.com/" target="_blank">Guy Harvey Ultimate Shark Challenge Tournament</a> and Festival and Organizers of the <a title="WRTT web site" href="http://worldsrichesttarpon.com/" target="_blank">World’s Richest Tarpon Tournament</a> have announced plans to strengthen and share their commitment to conservation by cross-promoting their common missions and messages to the general public, press and media. The Ultimate Shark Challenge Tournament and Festival takes place in <a title="City of Punta Gorda web site" href="http://www.ci.punta-gorda.fl.us/" target="_blank">Punta Gorda</a>’s downtown waterfront at Laishley Crab House at Laishley Park May 4 th – 6 th followed by the World’s Richest Tarpon Tournament in <a title="Boca Grande Chamber of Commerce web site" href="http://www.bocagrandechamber.com/" target="_blank">Boca Grande</a> May 17th and 18th and the Downtown Tarpon Festival May 19th and 20th.
Both all-release tournaments feature exciting and innovative high-stakes competitions that also place an emphasis on best practices when it comes to the post-release welfare of their respective target species; sharks and tarpon. The common ground between the two events is clear when looking at the USC’s established mission to, “Combine the Goals of Sport, Science and Conservation” alongside the WRTT’s new message of, “Conservation, Education and Sportsmanship”. Strategic alliances include <a title="MML web site" href="http://www.mote.org/" target="_blank">Mote Marine Laboratory</a> and <a title="MCSR web site" href="http://www.mote.org/index.php?submenu=SCIENCE&src=gendocs&ref=SharkResearch&category=Shark%20Research" target="_blank">Mote Center for Shark Research</a>, <a title="GHE web site" href="http://www.guyharvey.com" target="_blank">Guy Harvey Enterprises</a> and the <a title="GHOF web site" href="http://www.guyharveyoceanfoundation.org" target="_blank">Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation</a>. The event’s respective festivals are free to the public and offer a host of family-friendly fun, excitement, entertainment and education.
Without a doubt, the main attraction at both events are the fishing tournaments, which also share boundaries within the same storied fishing grounds of Boca Grande Pass, Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico. While their marquis species are indeed very different, event organizers are quick to point out that, “Sharks and tarpon have been coexisting here for millions of years and that their symbiotic relationship is a matter of essential mutual benefit to a healthy marine and coastal environment. In many ways, that relationship is a great metaphor for why we’re collaborating with our events.”
USC Creators, Sean & Brooks Paxton add that, “We’re extremely fortunate to have this uniquely diverse environmental playground right here in our backyard. The area offers so many choices for not only boaters and recreational anglers, but anyone interested in an endless list of eco and adventure-based activities on land and sea. There really is something for everyone. We’re proud of that and feel a responsibility to protect and conserve these natural assets while promoting the region, the people and the businesses that rely upon and support them. We do that by leveraging purposeful entertainment that also educates and inspires people.”
Lew Hastings, Executive Director at the Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce and Tournament Director of the WRTT explains, “My goal is to strengthen and promote the financial growth and well being of the local businesses in order to sustain a healthy community. We see the constant threat of damage and destruction to the natural beauty and wildlife habitats that surround us and recognize that they can not and should not be looked upon as a cost of doing business. Exploitation of natural resources in the name of progress and financial gain leaves us all a great deal poorer in the end. The significant economic and environmental impact recreational fishing has on our communities, make conservation for a sustainable fishery not only preferable but necessary. Education and conservation of the fishery combined with sport fishing will be the primary focus. Safe boating, sportsmanship and responsible angling will be promoted in order to encourage a safe, successful family friendly atmosphere that will inspire everyone to engage in the protection and proper stewardship of our natural resources so that they may be enjoyed for generations to come.” https://guyharveyoutpostblog.com/guy-harvey-sponsored-all-release-tournaments-partnering-to-cross-promote-spread-message/){kind=link}
