About Me (my mission)
- Lionfish Hunter
- Eleuthera, Bahamas
- I am an avid free diver who has been an integrall part of the island of Eleuthera Bahamas since 1989. About two years ago I was diving a favorite spot when I noticed a couple of lionfish for the first time. I thought to myself "how rare" this sighting was. Now they are everywhere. Subsequently I have done much research and found that these fish have no natural predators and are non-indigenous, prolific, and highly destructive to the eco system. My new mission in life is to inform the public and activate hunters to go out and kill as many of these fish as possible. This blog will serve as an information gathering site for this mission. To learn more, go to lionfishhunter.com . Please join the Lionfish Hunter community on Facebook and lets ALL work together to make a difference.

I am going to Flordia with a few friends of mine and we are wanting to go hunting in a place that is right off shore. Any sugestions?
I am hearing that Key Largo is a good place to go???
Unfortunately/fortunately for you, the Upper Keys are plagued with the nasty Lionfish. Several tournaments dedicated exclusively to capturing the succulent invaders have been organized with great success.
You will encounter lots of Lionfihes on the reef.
For your fishing base I would suggest Tavernier, a small town conveniently located between Key Largo and Islamorada, with lots of dive tour operators and the proximity of the best diving sites.There is a Marina and a tackle shop in Tavernier Creek which links the Ocean and the Bay.
Come as you are and have fun !
