Texas Redfish Tournament Series

The Texas Redfish Tournament Series recently announced it will host five fishing tournaments across the Texas Gulf Coast in 2005, with a potential purse of more than $90,000 in prize money.

Tournament locations will include Seabrook, Port Aransas, Port Bolivar, Rockport and Port Lavaca. Two-person teams will compete for prize money in addition to earning points to qualify for a two-day championship tournament to be held in October in Corpus Christi .

“We’ve created a fun, competitive redfish tournament circuit that’s affordable for the weekend fisherman,” said Scot Simmons, an organizer of the tournaments.  “By polling fishermen from other tournaments, we’ve discovered a true niche for those wanting to fish redfish tournaments, but weary of paying up to $500 to $1,000 in entry fees.  What makes our tournament unique is the smaller entry fees, wade fishing and we’ve added more dates to fish. We’re the only redfish tournament trail to have all qualifying events and the championship held in Texas .”

The first tournament of the series will take place February 26 at Seabrook’s Sundance Grill. For more information call (210) 385.3333 or visit www.redfishseries.com
