Inshore Tournament on Mosquito Lagoon to Boost Marine Discovery Center

The inaugural Lagoonigan Fishing Tournament, happening right in their backyard in the legendary Mosquito Lagoon, just outside New Smyrna Beach. This one-day tournament is more than just a fun day on the water—it’s a chance to give back. Registration is just $150 per team (up to 3 people), and 100% of the proceeds go directly to the Marine Discovery Center to support habitat restoration and local educational programs.

If you’re able to help spread the word or want to cover the event, we’ve put together a media kit with logos, event images, and more. You can learn all the details and sign up right here. It’s a great way to enjoy a day of inclusive, community-driven fishing while making a real impact on the environment. We’d love to see you and your readers out there if you’re in Florida during the event!
