I'd be in potentially. W have a boat? I rarely see them on the shallow reefs
I am off on the 30th and can supply the boat if people are willing to chip in for fuel
I would be in, kind of absurd to pay to kill lion fish though.
The waiver states that I must be a certified scuba diver... I am not. Am I still allowed to participate? Do I just leave that line unsigned?
EDIT - just got off the phone with REEF, they are going to look into how to go about signing off the waiver forms for non certified applicants. I intend to freedive so being scuba certified shouldn't change my eligibility according to the lady I spoke with. They are suposed to get back with me within 24 hours.
2ND EDIT - The general manager just called me and said non certified divers can still participate and sign all of the paperwork just like a certified diver would. We will just be listed as skin divers.

If you win the top prize will you still be opposed to paying the $25?
Im not opposed to paying but it's lion fish were talking about here. Imagine how many more teams would be out there thinning the population and bringing in data on the population.
I hear you Ronny but the way I see it I am paying to help spread the word about killing these fish and the tourney is just the icing.
Ok so who is in? I will register the boat before the 27th so we avoid the price jump. essentially its $25 a head plus gas. PM me your name, cell number, and I will get us registered. We can hand in the waivers at the meeting on friday night.

PM sent.
Get on it Lunker! Invasive bastard fish are gunna die!!! Beers and lionfish BBQ to follow!
okay I am in but...I cannot attend the capt meeting...if you guys can represent us there I will be ready on sat with my 25 + $ for capt mike 
mike it is your backyard we'll be hunting in..you have any lion holes? we gonna drag divers shallow looking for rocks? anyone have any strategy?
nicce GL guys... id bring a mini pneumatic personally... that way if i see two i can shoot one reload with one on the line and bag two.
I have a three prong pole spear that is 7' feet that I made, I was going to shorten it to 2-3' for use in holes. I will carry it with my gun. My plan was to drift dive with (hopefully) 3 people in the water and one in the boat, rotating out. Like Shawn said it is just a matter of sticking your head up under the rocks and finding them. Obviously if someone wants to throw out a lionfish hole we can hit it, otherwise lets let the current do the work. Judah if you can sign all of the waivers and forms and get them to either Shawn or myself so that we can turn them in at the captains meeting. I am going to wait until the 26th to register so that we have a reasonable idea of weather before we spend the money.
Speardiver brethren we need one more team member. So far it is shallow, lunker and myself. Please come support the cause, I promise we'll have fun doing it.
Judah, please PM me your full name and phone number so that I can fill out the registration next week.
Shawn - if you have a para tip I can bring you the other half of my polespear after I cut it down, should be easy to assemble the 2 and add a band.
