POONFECTA - It's Coming & You Should Be There

Yesterday morning I made a quick stop at the post office and dropped a couple of packages in the mail to Bar Fly Safety Harbor with raffle prizes will be used for the upcoming 2021 POONFECTA.

While those packages are likely the closest that I'll get to being at POONFECTA this year, I'm still stoked to see it rolling on with a three-day event planned to celebrate the smallest of small tarpon, a lot of partying with friends, and raising conservation dollars for two worthy organizations who are on the ground (and on the water) in Florida.

What's "POONFECTA" you ask?

This three day event began in 2014 when three friends (who are micro tarpon junkies) got a crazy idea of hosting an event where like-minded crazy tarpon junkies could get together and celebrate along with a little friendly competition that's all for a good cause!

The tournament portion is designed for fly fishing folks of all kinds to fish anywhere in the state of Florida from ditches to bridges from foot to paddle to the finest skiffs at a fun level playing field.

Like our #itsnotatournamentitsaparty we believe this event is all about the FUN!

Micro tarpon are the ultimate party fish! They are challenging but not taken too serious like their big Mommas.

They provide the best in angling where friends can have a good time with laughs while fishing 5-8 weight fly rods in the craziest of places!

In the end, the event brings awareness to awesome companies and organizations doing rad things and all proceeds goes straight to Bonefish & Tarpon Trust and  Captains for Clean Water.

Visit the POONFECTA website for more information and register for the event there.  Even if you can't fish the event, the parties are open to everyone.  Just get yourself to Bar Fly Safety Harbor.
