Drifter Jack Tournament RSVP April 17-19
Alright crew—here’s something wild we’ve been cooking up…
We’re putting together a Drifter-style Jack Crevalle Tournament + Fishing Trip. Think: big eats, aggressive topwater hits, and heavy lines. This isn’t a trip for picky tailers—it’s for those who want to throw flies and watch chaos erupt.
The exact details are still tightening up, but here’s what we need to know from you:
This weekend should run in the mid $2,000s depending on lodging costs. Are you in?
Would you prefer 2-3 days
What price range would you be comfortable with?
Please complete before August 9, 2025.
Would you come join us?
Yes
No
Write an answer
Would you want two or three days?
Two Days
Three Days
What price range?
$2,000-2,500 (I'm ok going a little more bare bones here)
$2,500-3,000 (I would like it a little more built out)
Either is fine.
Every spring, something wild happens on Florida’s east coast. As water temps warm and baitfish schools start pushing north, huge schools of Jack Crevalle begin migrating up the beaches and into the Indian River Lagoon system—and April is prime time.
These aren’t your average canal jacks. We're talking 30+ pound bruisers cruising just outside the surf line or smashing mullet in the backwaters. It’s aggressive, visual, explosive fishing. You’ll see them busting bait on the surface, and when they’re fired up, it’s a full-blown demolition derby.
They’re a perfect target for topwater plugs, streamers, poppers, or even big baitfish flies. And when they eat—they eat hard. No subtle sips. Just violence and torque.
This is the lodging I would hope to get! We would have plenty of space. Just need to understanding ballpark how many people would want to come hangout and have some friendly competition!
My "write an answer" - trying to space out PTO between trips. So debating if I can swing this in addition to Xcalak in March, in addition to other Drifter trips I'm targeting on the calendar. Right now I'm 90% likely on this one. Going to try and make it all work.
