Six more weeks remain in 2016 CCA State of Texas Anglers’ Rodeo and over 50 tagged redfish are still out there swimming and we are still hoping some registered 2016 STAR anglers will go out and catch some!
Only Jeff Myers of Houston is a truck and boat winner so far and still 4 truck, boat, motor and trailer prizes are available to win in Texas Ford Dealers Redfish Division.
Keep in mind, STAR doesn’t end until September 5 at 5p.m. If you are planning to go fishing between now and Labor Day, DO NOT risk wetting a line without your STAR Insurance!
