Thanks again for the support!!!

We look forward to seeing everyone at Ferg's Sports Bar on the following dates:

Wednesday, March 30th - Kickoff Party/ Early Registration at Ferg's Sports Bar

Caleb Goins Art

The Tampa Bay Spearfishing Club would like to thank Platinum sponsor, Caleb Goins Art.

The artwork is produced by Florida Keys artist Caleb Goins who has spent over 15 years conceptualizing and developing this unique style of “Pierced Metal”. Each work of art is hand-drawn and hand-cut and with every pierce of the torch, movement of the grinder, the drawing comes to life, depicting a stylized version of marine and wildlife species. The finished art form, a highly detailed, sleek and dimensional hand crafted sculpture. Come shoot the tournament for a chance to win some of Caleb's custom artwork, and make sure to check out Caleb Goins Art online and on Facebook.

Spearcrafters by Lou Bonsey

We'd like to welcome back a long time sponsor for the TBSC, Lou makes some of the best shafts you will ever shoot. Highest grade of steel fine tuned for killing big fish!

http://spearcrafters.com/index.html

"Get a Shaft without getting Shafted" is not just a catchy phrase.
At Spearcrafters you will find only the highest quality spearfishing shafts at very reasonable prices. Our shafts are hand made from aircraft-grade 17/4ph stainless steel and are heat-treated to remain hard and retain their spring. Our spearfishing shafts come in a wide variety of styles and lengths for whatever type of diving and fishing you do. We have freeshafts, lineshafts, and speedshafts for SCUBA divers and free divers alike. We have spearfishing shafts with and without fins, with and without barbs, with and without threaded tips, with and without rest tabs, and with and without notches. If you can't find a spearfishing shaft to fit your diving needs please feel free to contact us to get a quote on a custom spearfishing shaft made just for your needs.

Re: 2016 Tournament Sponsors

The Tampa Bay Spear Fishing Club would like to thank local spearfishing pioneer, Ray Odor, for once again supporting our tournament. Ray has been killing fish since before most of you were born and continues to support our sport. Ray has everything a serious spearfisherman needs: shafts, stringers, spear points & tips, spear extensions, pole spears, and poppers of all calibers. All made in the USA by the legendary 'Lobster Mobster' himself. Check out Ray's site online or better yet, give me a call directly and go check out his inventory in person.
