South Florida’s waters come alive this June with the highly anticipated PBA Dolphin Shootout & Fishing Village—a one-day offshore Mahi tournament paired with a vibrant, family-friendly waterfront experience at Homestead Bayfront Park.
Anglers will take to the open ocean at sunrise, competing for a $10,000 grand prize for the heaviest Mahi, while spectators gather shoreside to watch the action unfold during the live, on-stage weigh-in from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The excitement culminates with an awards ceremony at 5:00 PM, celebrating both competition and community.
But this event is more than just a tournament—it’s a full-day celebration. The Fishing Village, open to the public from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, offers something for everyone: live music, a DJ, line dancing, local vendors, food and drinks, and interactive sponsor activations, all set against a scenic waterfront backdrop.
Open to PBA members, supporters, and local anglers, boats can depart from any port, making this tournament accessible to South Florida’s entire fishing community. Whether you’re offshore chasing Mahi or enjoying the festivities on land, the event brings together boating enthusiasts, families, and law enforcement supporters in a uniquely South Florida way.
At its heart, the Dolphin Shootout is a charity-driven event benefiting The Love Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization that has supported fallen officers and their families since 1984. Proceeds help cover funeral expenses, provide education for children of fallen officers, and offer critical psychological support to families affected by the demands of the profession.
