The 42nd installment of the Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament arrives Friday in quite a different looking format.
Instead of a two-day general tournament as it’s been in the past, the GJKT is cutting it in half.. Boats in the event can’t enter the water before 5 a.m. and must be in line to weigh their catch by 5:30 p.m. Friday.
Tournament chairman Mel Hammock said that turning two days of fishing into one has been well received. The GJKT cut it down to help anglers keep their expenses in check. The cost of gas remains high, especially for captains who run offshore for two full days. This year, they’ll just have to do one day, which Hammock said has gone over well.“It’s been really pretty favorable.
Just because there’s only one day of fishing in the general tournament doesn’t mean things will quiet down after anglers weigh their fish Friday. Hammock said the event is incorporating more peripheral entertainment into tournament weekend. Outside of the junior angler offshore tournament Saturday, the GJKT will have a cornhole competition going on and fireworks wrapping things up on Saturday night after the awards ceremony.“Families have been coming out.
Outside of the change to a one-day general tournament, the GJKT is also allowing anglers to transport their catch to the scales by vehicle this year instead of by boat, should captains choose that option. Driving a catch to the boat ramp by car is cheaper than it is by vessel, so the GJKT elected to give that method a try this year as another way to help anglers cut expenses.
