The season will start out with the “Battle at the Bluff,” a two-day trout tournament to be held in Corpus Christi, TX February 6th & 7th. The Redfish Series, the number one redfish tournament trail in Texas the last four years, will start off its new season in March in Port Aransas, TX. The series will then head to Louisiana for one of its two stops in the pelican state. “One of the new additions to the 2010 tournament trail is our expansion into Louisiana,” said Jim Elrod, co-owner of the tournament. “We have wanted to expand for a while and with all of our tournaments sold-out for the last two years; we have a need to add more stops to accommodate the high demand of anglers for our series.”
The 2010 series will host six regular season stops and will wrap up the season with a two-day championship. The series will continue its popular Tour Rewards program. Teams who wish to take advantage of the bonus money associated with the tour rewards program will register in advance for at least four regular season tournaments and the championship.
“We’ve created a fun, competitive tournament circuit that’s affordable for the weekend fisherman,” said Scot Simmons who is one of the founders. “The format is fun and laid back and the local stops make it feasible for any angler to fish the tournaments without investing a lot of time and money.”
Format for the tournament also includes a live weigh-in with two redfish, artificial lures only and participants are allowed to wade-fish. The entry fee per team is set at $400.00, and one-in-five teams will earn prize money. Teams may fish as many tournaments as they would like.
