Friday, March 6 · Square Grouper, Cudjoe Key
Kick off Fish For Jose weekend the way Jose would’ve wanted—good people, good stories, good vibes, and a vibe that only the Square Grouper can start. We’re bringing back our beloved Kick Off Party at the iconic Square Grouper’s “My New Joint” on Cudjoe Key.
This intimate gathering brings together friends, family, anglers, locals, and supporters for a night that’s all heart. Expect great food from Jose’s favorite Chef Lynn Bell, and her staff, great drinks, music, and raffles.
Backyard Dinner Party
Saturday, March 7 · Lower Florida Keys
The tradition continues. Our private Backyard Dinner Party is one of the most meaningful nights of the year—an intimate evening in Jose’s home waters where stories, laughter, and legacy collide.
Guests will enjoy incredible food, cocktails, music, heartfelt recipient moments, and one of the most unique fundraising dinners in the Keys. This night captures the true spirit of connection, healing, and generosity that defines Fish For Jose.
Sunday, March 8 · All Over the Lower Keys, and beyond
We close out Fish For Jose weekend the way Jose would’ve loved most—out on the water, surrounded by the people who keep his spirit alive. Sunday is your day to fish your way: no schedule, no rules, just sunrise-to-sunset freedom on the ocean.
This is the heartbeat of the weekend. Grab your friends, your family, your favorite captain, or just your quiet moment on the flats. Whether you’re chasing tarpon, running offshore for something that’ll pull drag, or taking the kids out for their first real taste of the Keys, it’s all about connection and joy.
Laugh, tell stories, catch fish, soak up the saltwater, and remember why the ocean was Jose’s sanctuary. Every cast is a nod to the man who showed the world what it means to live life on the water.
Fish hard, have fun, and carry the legacy forward—one cast at a time.
