Don’t Miss the 2024 Francis Nunes Jr. Memorial Fishing Tournament & Seafood Festival

The tradition of a fun, community-driven fishing tournament continues this year, focusing on encouraging youth participation.

“As a former Antigua Sports Fishing (ASF) Chairman, Mr. Nunes loved the sea and cooking seafood dishes. He was passionate about getting junior anglers involved, and this tournament honors his legacy,” says Robert Hall, tournament director.
