Belize's El Pescador Lodge will be hosting the 1st Annual Invitational Tagging Tournament to benefit the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust. The event will be held Martin Luther King weekend, Thursday, Jan 12th – Monday, Jan 16th, 2012. This three-day tournament will raise money for BTT, whose mission is to support research to enhance healthy bonefish, tarpon, and permit populations. The lodge is offering a 4 night / 3 day fishing package (based on shared room and shared guide) for $2,110.00 per person. El Pescador will donate $250.00 for every paying angler to BTT, and the total sum raised will be donated in the tournament grand champion’s name to BTT. The grand champion will also receive a spot (with the entry fee waived) to compete in the 2013 March Merkin invitational permit tournament in the Florida Keys. Information about tagging as well as scientific and conservation issues affecting bonefish, tarpon and permit around the world can be found at http://www.tarbone.org/.
