The Florida Sport Fishing Association (FSFA) is Brevard County’s longest running fishing club founded in 1968. For over 50 years the FSFA has invested in the education and growth of local anglers by fostering an environment allowing anglers to fellowship and share successes and failures to become better anglers and better stewards of our local environment. There have been many projects the FSFA has been at the forefront of throughout the years, such as the Kids Fishing Clinic, FSFA Offshore Tournament and most recently, the new reef deployments.

Brevard County is presently pursuing grant funds from FWC to support our sixth material deployment of artificial reef off the coast of Port Canaveral. The deployment is to include the placement of at least twenty 6000lb, 8ft tall modules. Currently, this is year six of a great partnership between FSFA, CFOA, CCA and Brevard County — and we need your help to ensure the continuance of this great project.

Central Florida may have dodged a bullet, but our friends to the East on Grand Bahama and Abaco Islands did not fare so well. Hurricane Dorian sat on top of them for 36 hours with 180 mile per hour winds, 30 inches of rain, and a storm surge of 23 feet, destroying homes, boats, and even cars…

The FSFA’s 51st Annual Offshore Tournament is officially in the books! It was a wet and wild event on Saturday, for sure. The monsoon that unloaded all the fury of the gods on the weigh-in at Port Canaveral certainly took us by surprise. Consequently, for the first time in the event’s 51 year history, we were unable to present the Awards and Payouts at the Weigh-in. Apart from the weather-induced chaos, it was a great day of fishing as 102 total teams competed, and with plenty of impressive fish hitting the scales at Sunrise Marina.

Everyone’s heard of NCAA March Madness, but for the Florida Sport Fishing Association, the time of year when the big excitement happens is NOW!
