The spike in gas prices has forced the Annual Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament to scale back on fishing days, according to event officials.

The tournament takes place every July at Jim King Park & Boat Ramp at Sister Creek.

Normally, fishing takes place over the course of two days. However, this year, the GJKT implemented a format change due to "the current gas situation."
 



"These changes will save you that whole second day of expenses, that normally come with tournament week... lodging, fuel, bait ect. as well as saving you from using up vacation days at work," said the tournament in an email release.

The general tournament day will take place on Friday only, but don't fret! The tournament payout will be the same; a 25 ft. Contender with twin Yahama 150's, rigged out with a custom t-top and electronics.
