What started as an internet feud has spilled into a court room. The Professional Tournament Tarpon Series has sued Save the Tarpon, a conservation group that has criticized the PTTS and its fishing tactics in Boca Grande Pass.
The PTTS claims STT has hurt its ability to generate advertising revenue and now seeks injunctive relief to silence its most vocal critic.The STT maintains the PTTS uses a public resource for private financial gain while endangering tarpon, which they say have been snagged, gaffed and dragged to the beach to be weighed.
Round two between the two foes is set for early June in Lakeland when the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will discuss proposed regulations for tarpon fishing Boca Grande Pass.
