The Dolphin Rodeo began in 2008 in honor of Nick Sheahan. Nick died in 2004 tragically of shallow water black out in a diving accident in the Bahamas. He enjoyed fishing, diving and life in the Fabulous Florida Keys. He would have graduated from Coral Shores Senior High in 2006. We are also able to use the tournament to promote the dangers of “Shallow Water Blackout” and how to save someone in the situation. The Dolphin Rodeo happens the first weekend in May opening up the dolphin fishing season. The community comes together in support of the event. All the proceeds benefit scholarships for graduating seniors of Coral Shores High School.

The kick off party is Friday, May 5^t, Fishing days are Saturday, May 6^t, and Sunday May 7^t followed by the awards at the end of the day.
