About
An introduction to Lionfish hunting and how to safely harvest, process and eat these invasive fish.
This is your chance to protect our reefs and put some delicious fish on your plate.
This course includes a classroom presentation that covers all aspects of Lionfish and Lionfish hunting.
Students are taught to safely use a pole spear through hands-on experience, as well as some of the best places and times to hunt.
Once we have completed the classroom session we take you to one of our local reefs for a guided Lionfish hunt.
We help you get comfortable with a few practice shots, and then the hunt is on! Once we are out of the water, whatever Lionfish we catch, we process and package right at the beach.
Join the fight to save our reefs and become a Lionfish Hunter today!
