6th Annual Kids Kingfish Derby


The Palms Fish Camp

The Kids Kingfish Derby creates a fun and educational fishing tournament for children, focused on catching kingfish off the Jacksonville coast. Through this event, we aim to instill a love for fishing and the marine environment in our young participants while promoting sportsmanship and conservation ethics. All net proceeds from the tournament are dedicated to supporting local Jacksonville charities, ensuring that our community grows stronger together.
