The redfish around Aransas Pass should head to other areas.
Inshore anglers from across Texas and surrounding regions will meet at Aransas Pass, Sept. 7-8, for the final 2013 Texas Division events of the IFA Redfish Tour Presented by Cabela’s and IFA Kayak Fishing Tour Presented by Hobie Fishing.
The IFA Redfish Tour Presented by Cabela’s will begin its activities on Friday, Sept. 6, with tournament registration at Redfish Willie’s at Redfish Bay Boat House (322 Huff St., Aransas Pass, TX 78336) from 5-7 p.m. followed by the captain’s meeting. Anglers will launch from the marina at safe light on Saturday, Sept. 7. Check-in times will be assigned at Friday’s captain’s meeting with anglers returning to the marina for the weigh-in.
Competitors in the IFA Kayak Fishing Tour Presented by Hobie Fishing will have registration from 6-7 p.m. with captains meeting to follow on Saturday, Sept. 7, at Redfish Willie’s.
